You guys are all nerds. Bike/trike nerds. Love you all!!!

I love your attention to detail,the same detail I use myself in my job.

Very nice machine. Your videos are also very useful and pretty cool ! Thank's a lot from France !

[@PhotoStrider]

Great video....very nice trike.

[@johncherry1870]

I am enjoying the videos.

[@sleepingbearffg5008]

I want one...cant wait!

[@overthetopcargotrailerjerr2278]

Damn Louis that is a BAD ASS BIKE...., im almost ready to get 2 ...lol does it also ride ok on paved roads / cross country trip ? Q2. can the gearing be made lower to make it easier to peddle UP HILLS ? or easier with beach sand....I dont need to much top end , 20-25 mph downhill is good for me on the top end.

[@UtahTrikesOnline]

Sure, the Shlumpf Mountain Drive has a 250% gear range, so when combined with the Alfine in the rear you get some nice low climbing gears. We can match up the front and rear gearing to your riding. Wanna climb steep hills and still have high gears to go fast? Yeah, we can do that for you.

[@mardiffv.8775]

I own a similar Fat Trike and I ride it 99 % of the time on paved roads. No problem at all. I ride my Fat Trike in the city and in case of emergency, I can climb on the sidewalk. No damage to the tires or rims. I also took my Fat Trike on a tour from the Netherlands to Hamburg city, Germany and back. No problem. I do advise you to order the LOWEST GEARING OPTION POSSIBLE. Because you will get stuck in the sand/ mud, or go uphill with heavy luggage in your panniers. My lowest gear just does 2.5 mph, but I can climb 20 % inclines.

@@UtahTrikesOnline Hi, a trike know nothing here! I've been looking at velomobiles not for their speed (sure taking advantage of aero on roads is a nice benefit) but due to being enclosed for year round riding. Would it be a waste of time to create a composite shell with high ground clearance for going down a bumpy trail (not MTB craziness but rougher than a road bike or velomiblie would like) & saving watts for on road touring? Maybe like these trikes but with gravel mtb tires? I'd love to have one with E-assist, my two wheel days are over (fibromyalgia) & I'm going to save up for one of these so I can get out of the house a lot more, any insight greatly appreciated!

[@helphelpimbeingrepressed9347]

@@mardiffv.8775 I'd also love to hear your input on my idea after reading the cool stuff you've done with a chunky trike. Is the rolling resistance really noticeable compared to say 2in mtb tires?

[@mardiffv.8775]

@@helphelpimbeingrepressed9347 Yes, I confirm that the rolling resistance of Fat Tires is much higher then 2 inch tires in general. You can reduce the RR to inflate your fat tires hard to 1.5 bar/ 21 psi, but it will turn your tires into bouncing balls. Very uncomfortable. And with ride with soft, comfy tires for rough terrain, the RR is very high. I am talking about 1 to 0.7 bar/ 14 to 10 psi. So I prefere the average of 1.3 bar/ 18-19 psi. Acceptable RR and not too bouncy. And I riding Fat Trikes without suspension.

[@robertzachow]

Thanks for listening guys. You are awesome! I'm saving I can't wait to get one.

[@biking1953]

I am interested in this type of catrike villager with 26” 1.75” regular wheels with standard gearing that is stock, and add a chain tensioner and your seat extension to change seat.

[@biking1953]

Could the rear wheel be up to 700C , Or could the whole bike be made with 650C wheels . Would that still require an internal rear hub

[@quadriplegic6580]

What would this cost with 1000 watt motor

[@AaaBbb-pm8gh]

Hi Is it possible to buy this bike and ship it to Saudi Arabia?

[@UtahTrikesOnline]

Hi! Send us an email at [e-mail] and we can help you get it figured out!

[@stompindakka3222]

Do you offer a folding version of your V3?

[@UtahTrikesOnline]

Unfortunately not. We could potentially do a the same build with a Trail, however I don't know how well it would actually fold with those fat tires on there.

[@stompindakka3222]

@@UtahTrikesOnline im not familar with that frame i will go look it up.

[@stompindakka3222]

@@UtahTrikesOnline im been thinking about that giving a trail 20" or 24" none fat tires but a good compromise tire would still work. Im just not sure if a trail frame would accept 24" wheels and tires

[@sutotokandakus8295]

Price??

[@UtahTrikesOnline]

Starts at $3799.

[@k.soundar7840]

Nose ring irritation to see you

[@darktechfst3424]

i just wanna say you guys really know your stuff but why stop there??? put body for elements, put motor and battery so it become etrike? on the roof put solar panel? you can call it etrike but best part, if rider tired just find sweet spot and sleep in the trike, oh, don't for get make some body under too for snake (personal bad experiences, do i mention there is now some tech for self charging ebike using tire rotation? and there you have it " SELF CHARGING ALL TERRAINS AND ELEMENT E TRIKE MOTORHOME???" sorry when one idea pop out it just keep coming in my head lol

[@rickbrasche8781]

so I ordered the kit parts to modify mine. for some reason the rear rim is over 2 inches wider than the fronts, with the same size tires. UT says this is normal, but no picture or video of the fat catrike Ive seen shows a significantly wider rear. awaiting email responses from them since last friday night. Stem hole won't fit the included schrader tubes, too small. Fronts look great though.

[@BBBA_]

What do I do if a GIANT GIANT demands my trike ?

[@mdsha8393]

Fat Cat v 3, available in India?? Price pls

[@Cynthia6031]

I want that!!!

[@thanebridges6776]

The trike looks great, I want one badly. The only concern I have is the extension you made to fit the big wheel on threar of the trike. How strong is it? It looks like it puts a lot of stress on the fork, I weigh 250lbs and want to use the trike on trails and fire roads. Will it hold up and is there a warranty?

[@Riverprospector]

Wow I want one

[@alborowski2952]

Love the gearing options

[@tomiday66]

Nice looking trike! I did a 2,500 mile road trip on my Catrike 559 last fall and might be interested in doing the Great Divide next year. Can you apply the Fat Cat V3 mods to my year old 559 with my Rohloff hub? Looks like that is a pretty sweet setup for dirt roads etc.

[@UtahTrikesOnline]

Yeah, we've fit the 26x4s on the 559 before. It won't fold with those big tires though :)

[@cristianguerrero9683]

Fenders? Nice rides.

[@rogermacky3085]

Nice trikebike..

[@motosportadv8177]

yes some things should be left to more practiced hands, I bought KMX trike as a kit from y'all last year and I love it; best most comfortable bike iv ever owned! The only regrets I have is I should have had y'all put it together for me so I could have done more riding than wrenching ! Keep up the great work I'm going to save my money for a trike with suspension next time !

[@UtahTrikesOnline]

Those KMX kits have gotten a lot of people into triking! We should be posting a video in the next couple of weeks showing our front suspension upgrade for the KMX.

[@motosportadv8177]

Utah Trikes sweet sounds great 👍, looking forward to it!

[@ronaldharris6569]

Now do it with a shaft drive and 20 inch fatties

[@UtahTrikesOnline]

We've build a few of them with the 20x4 fats and they look real slick. Especially with slick tires. Shaft drive is something we look at every once in a while but haven't found a solution that fits our requirements.
