When DH was looking for an adult trike (he has balance issues), the upright adult trikes are ok. We found a local place that had some Sun's available. We are talking the really upright ones with the baskets on front and back. We found that you really can't go very fast on them and you really have to be careful about corners. I rode it around a parking lot and I was not impressed with the handling. I think they would be fine if you are looking at going around the neighborhood or a park. DH is 64 and I didn't think he would enjoy this kind of limited riding, just yet. But, he also would not ride his 2 wheel bike because of his balance limitations.

DH surprised me a couple of weeks ago and said he was more interested in the adult recumbant trike. After looking at them again and test riding a couple, he got himself a Greenspeed GT3. TsPoet sent us some very useful information and it was based on her recommendations that I think Tom finally went with a recumbant trike. Getting in and out of it will be his biggest problem. We shall see how it goes once he has it and is able to play. The GT3 is a tadpole design (2 wheels up front, one in back). He tried the delta style (2 wheels back, 1 up front), but the GT3 felt easier for him.

When we finally get it in hand, I want to take pics of him on it....
