Yes due to health reasons

The wind chill riding is what kills me.

@@theadventuresofketkon8388 I have a fairing on my Tour Easy recumbent. That seems to help especially with keeping my legs and feet warm on really cold rides. I'm good down to about 30 degrees. My main problem is ice on the trail.

Yep I get a face full of mud l o l. You can put mud guards on the front wheel. So they don't kick so much but I do not like how much they rattle. I do wear full face goggles in the winter with my eyeglasses underneath. That I wrap a scarf around my lower jaw to keep the mud off. Ask her how to lock it up the front gear shifting grab handles have a lock that lock the front wheels. Someone was to jump on it when it was locked with those locking grab handles. The average person wouldn't know how to quickly get them undone to drive off with it. We also have locking cables we can use.

We absolutely love this thing

Yes it absolutely fits on the sidewalk.

We got it during covid and this was pretty much the only thing available. We have been very happy with it.

We do have an assist motor. This tandem is a beast and very heavy. He bumps it occasionally to give us some speed. Right now since we're on a main road and we're heading to the bike trailhe's using the motor to get us the heck down there quickly.

We got them from Laidback Cycle in Fair Oaks California. The extension bar is so we can attach items, like computers, phone case etc. The computer links to our peddle assist system on our trike. The assist gives us partial power boosts when needed OR we can full throttle it like a dirt bike full power all the way home with out peddling at all. I am disabled so sometimes I do not have the power to peddle the whole ride. Also helps on hills

I think the accessory bar is made by TerraCycle instead of TerraTrike. TerraCycle makes a lot of useful add-ons.

Right on!

Thats awesome. We love the huge variety of trails here. With our heavy tandem, and my disabilities, the assist motor is great when needed. We dont always use it unless we need it.

Yes, NOT a good place for someone to travel with vertigo

thats a great idea. yes the blue definately is something you dont see everyday on a light and makes people look.

yep wish we could have force fields sometimes

We love them!

We have an air horn and that's been unsuccessful. But the cracking on that zapper is crazyvwierd and loud. The video definitely did not display it very well. But it's a weird loud noise that animals for some reason do not like.

I guess it just depends on the dog what would bother them

I am definately not the stronger. But I have heart and dizziness issues so better that my hubby drives

The pad

It is a YXGOOD non slip kayak seat off amazon. It was 20 dollars

That's for sure!

@@theadventuresofketkon8388 Yeah, the very same drivers who see 6 inch tall squirrels dashing across the pavement, and react to arrows painted on the pavement.....somehow can't see recumbents. Weird.

we actually ran over an aluminum ring. Thought it was something falling off. Took us forever to figure out our trike was NOT falling apart

@@theadventuresofketkon8388 we finally found a black aluminum ring, that looked like it may have come off of someones camera (or something). Was sooooo strange. Boy did it worry us until we found it. We must have run over it just perfectly because it flipped up from the wheel and kind of ping ponged around the spokes and hit the frame. So it sounded like something big happened LOL

I wanted one for years. My husband is a real athlete and I can not keep up with him. Once my health mandated I can no longer ride an upright bike, the tandem entered our life. The IPS Independent Pedal System was a marriage saver. I pedal when I want LOL.

Sorry I have not seen the message on FB. I will look for you. Our trike is a Terratrike Tandem Pro. We purchased it from Laidback Cycles in Fair Oaks CA. We had just entered COVID when we got it, so we had looked at all brands. Trident, Greenspeed, etc. But the ONLY one we could get our hands on was this Terratrike Tandem Pro. I was really concerned it would not fit our needs. Well WOW was I happy once we got it. LOVE it. We rode for about 4 months waiting for our motor to come in. Truthfully we have no idea what brand/etc the motor is as it is a "proprietary" motor made for Laidback to their specs. It is a 500 watt motor. We were thinking we needed bigger, but it has done great.

We got the motor from Laidback Cycles in Fair Oaks CA. They have a "proprietary" motor so we do not know much about it. But i do know they had 2 choices, one 500 and one 750. We got the smaller motor that has more torque. It does fine. We love it. Look up Laidback Cycle and contact them. Let them know The Palmers sent you

well, after I came face to face with a bumper once...I really went overboard and put lights everywhere. LOL. We have found that cars slow down, say or night, when they see us as they really want to check out our ride. BUT since we ride quite a bit on the trails at night, and have to ride on auto roads on part of it, YES putting lights so we are seen from different angles makes me fell much better.

if you are ever up this way in Sacramento give us a heads up. We love love love all of the trails around here. Someday I would love to have a recumbent rally out of Folsom CA, so some can camp and others can stay in the hotel on the trail.

We love showing other trikers our wonderful bikeway here in Sacramento. Wish we could do a recumbent rally here in the future

@@theadventuresofketkon8388 if you do,, let me know... we have a good size group that rides around here in Southern California - I would put out the word if you plan something.
