Recumbent Trike Fat Tires Slicks vs Knobs Compared

Testing Vee Rubber 20" x 4" tires on the Sunseeker Fat Tad. A thick rubber knobby tire has the highest rolling resistance when you pedal the trike. If you are looking for the most effective coasting and the least amount of effort, use thin smooth tires.

WOW! That video was incredibly informative. Always admired your unexpected use of slick Fatty tires on bicycle paths! That flame/wind drag test was very visually revealing. Your visual realization of knobby tire drag was demonstrably clever! Love watching your inclusive, spousal, sincere, friendly, non-egotistical rides with my little chocolate buddy, "Tilly." Also watch nature, scenic views, wildlife here, including insects, as you do. I feel like I am also going for a ride, when you two are on your rides! That clever tire-tread air-resistance test of yours impressed this fan of your videos! A recent video from "David Rides a Trike" totally surprised many trike riders that SO many of us do NOT literally care about high speeds! David's video incredibly uncovered that many riders prioritize; scenic value, sightseeing, wildlife viewing (including insects, butterflies, etc, OVER speed. Your videos and my personal riding preferences matched David's uncovering of preferences of a huge majority of trike riders! I also say 'huge majority' based on decades of personal observations of bicycle path recumbent riders. Look forward to going on more of your trike rides.

"What are you gonna do when you get there"? We enjoy the journey. Anything over 12mph becomes a blur. Slow down and enjoy the view, unless you are coasting then use the free energy.😊 Thanks for your comment!

Great video. Where did you purchase your bike hitch?

Very impressive video. You must be fortunate not to have goat head thorns on your trails.
