Congrats on the shiny new ride!
Congrats on the shiny new ride!
Looks like the merriest of Christmas presents. Enjoy!
Have fun with Sparky, love the name!
Yes, all those trikes are fun to ride. The best part is you can go up a hill as slow as you want to go without ever worrying about tipping over.
I've been so busy that I've been putting off on getting a cat trike pocket. I'm bit jealous at your new, brand spanking new ride. Enjoy your ride. Personally, I think everyone should have one of these.![]()
I know, I am totally undeserving of another new bike! The realization that people selling used trikes typically wanted as much for used as it cost to get new was perfect justification. Yes, the stability on hills was my main motivation for wanting to get a trike. I love the Bellandare, but the hills really freaked me out and it didn't seem to be getting better. Trikes for Everyone!

I LIKE this part of itPerhaps someday I will be in a position to have a trike and get to ride again. Right now even IF I had the $$$, I wouldn't have any way to transport it or even get it up/down the narrow stairs to my apt. Not with my shoulder & neck...but I REALLY LIKE the idea of a bike that won't tip over on the uphill if you get too slow.
In theory, Sparky folds up as small as 32"x24"and could be transported in just about any trunk. He's 36 pounds--so not too much heavier than your average hybrid. That just leaves the price barrier, which is formidable. Trident Trikes (for instance) makes some well respected folding trikes (Spike, Stowaway, Titan)for about what you'd pay for a modestly priced roadie...
