As if no one is going to hit the cycle lanes and back roads when the shit hits the fan....
Hello friend I love travels by trike I want to go to Alaska in november by trike I live in Brazil good lucky friend
Sounds like some exciting times. Good luck, friend. Have fun and stay safe. Thanks for commenting.
I guess you dont use the trailer in the rain? With the wheels under the cover the rain would get thrown up under the cover and make a real mess??
I try not to ride in the rain. But lately, it's been a hard thing to do. Raining all the time. I don't use the cover onless I have a lot of gear. Thanks for commenting.
@@FMChronicles Get s set of fenders and enjoy more riding time.
@georgechase3275 I do have fenders took them off. If it Keeps raining, I'll have to put them back on. Don't care for fenders much.
Nice 👍 where did you get the wheels for the trailer i want to make one like your's
I got my wheels on Amazon. 36V E-Bike Front Wheel/Rear Conversion Kit Electric Bicycle Motor Kit with LED Display High Speed Brushless Gearless Hub Motor Kit a.co/d/0c2CoL7N
@@FMChronicles thanks 👍
😂😂😂😂😂😂 oh god. He’s so content with it tho! Ah the things we do for the endless love our dogs give us. So worth it.
So true.
I would like to know more about this trailer build.
I'll try to get a video made soon on that. Thanks for commenting
Just an FYI, the hub motors on your trailer will run fine under water. Another nice video, thank you.
Good to know . Thanks for commenting
Nice 👍 how much was the trailer?
With batteries and motors, about $500.00. I got the trailer At a garage sale for $30.00.
I like hearing the snow crunch and no sound of automobiles.
im trying to save up money for one of these can't wait to get one .
Money well spent. You won't be sorry. Thanks for commenting.
Very cool Terry! Those shot are amazing!
Thanks, Sunshine. Your comments are always appreciated.
She’s having so much fun!! With a little more practice and some verbal commands, she’s gonna the best riding partner!! I love how she stops and sits at the stop signs 😊
Hi Sunshine Lol! Yeah, she does pretty good at the stop signs . Yes , practice makes perfect, that's for sure. Thanks for the comment.
Wow, she’s getting so big !! Looks like she’s having a fun time !! ❤
Hi Pam We both are having fun. She's great! It's so nice to have a trike to walk her or should I say run her with. Thanks for commenting.
I really like your videos. One thing I have meant to bring up, is the tires on your expedition. While I use 3 different tire types, because of the terrain I live in, and the weather here in the GPNW, the best tire I found for the Expedition in your area, and mine in the Summer, is the Schwalbe "Big Apple" tire. Although my riding partner prefers the Schwalbe "Mondial" for the rear of his Expedition. My girlfriend prefers the "Marathon Racers", however she rides a Catrike Road, and is a girl, so she doesn't count. You should really look into the "Big Apples" as they will improve your riding comfort, while increasing performance. I need to upload a video of my Candy Purple Expedition and B.O.B. trailer, that I use in the Cascades and Tetons. You're making me look bad.
Hi kirk I use schwalbe marathon in the front and a holy roller in back to help with Traction. That's interesting, I'm gonna be looking into the big apple Tire all the way around. Yes, please post videos of the Tetons mountains. That would be a cool Background for your cat. Thanks for the info.
This was way better content than what I anticipated :) Congrats!
Thank you for the nice comment.
Looks like you need some extra space for your 2nd foot. How do these compare to a regular city small wheel scooter?
They are much safer because of the 26" wheel. No flipping over the handle bars if you hit a crack or rock. Plus, it looks better. You can go faster as well.. thanks for the comment
@@FMChronicles Thanks you should put up the parts.
Will do.
I did enjoy it! Thanks for the fun video!
It was my pleasure. Thanks for commenting.
Enjoyed your video and creativity 💫
Thank you for your comment. It is very much appreciated.
Your videos just keep getting better! That SeeStar is pretty neat. Wish I could use one here but, you have to be able to see the sky, and that doesn't happen much here in the GPNW. 😀
Hi kirk Yes, I am having a good time With it. Learning a lot. It's a shame not to see the night sky, let alone the day sky . Don't care for those cloudy days. Thanks for the comment.
this is crazy cool!
Now THIS is a trike I could get with! All other trikes on the market are slow and boring! RUGER
I know. This thing is crazy fast. Thanks for commenting.
I think your trailer looks like a bike helmet. A good look for the trike. Your telescope is cool. Are you located in an area where you could have recorded the eclipse? Cool video, thanks for taking us along.
Hi Kelly I got the telescope for the eclipse But unfortunately, here in minnesota It was a complete bust. It is an amazing device, and I am sure I'll get a lot of use out of it. Thank you for commenting.
CATRIKE HATCH BACK NEW FOR 2O24😂 PRETTY SPEEDY TRIKE YOU HAVE THERE. LIKE YOUR TELESCOPE 🌒TO VARY KOOL, THANKS FOR SHARING 💫
Lol! Hatch back, I like it. I'm glad you like it. Thanks for commenting.
Nice builds. I build and ride. Nothing better than riding
Yes, I love that riding part. Thanks for commenting.
We love your telescope.
Thank you. It's truly an amazing device.thanks for commenting.
If you're going to speeding along on snow, best it be on a trike. That looked like loads of fun!
Hi Kelly Yes, it was some of the best times I had on that suntrike. Fast trike! Thanks for commenting.
Great eclectic mix of music my friend!
Glad you enjoyed it.Appreciate the nice comment .
Bug out trike? I’m thinking fully suspended ICE full fat! You won’t go fast, but you can pedal over zombie bodies! Add motor with solar panel charger to up the game, and all this will set you back less than $15K 😮😊
That sounds like a sweet setup! I wish I had one. $15K ?☹️ I think I'll stick with what I have and make it work. I think i can get over a few of those zombie bodies with my Rover.Thanks for commenting.
@@FMChroniclesYour trike is NOT for gravel roads with that 16inch wheels...not to talk about sand...
The Rover is a better "Bug Out" trike unless you're dealing with "Fast" zombies.
Very true. Not many fast zombies around. Lol Thanks for commenting

Terratrike Rover MTB handlebars is a definite advantage.
Yes, good one ! Thanks for commenting.
I think the Rover would work for me. Great video.
Great! Thanks for commenting.
Can I buy it.?
Sorry, I don't think it's for sale.

Climbing hills on a Recumbent Trike sucks without Electric Assist.
It sucks on a bike, a trike and on foot. What can you do? Besides getting a motor. Thanks for commenting.
You go to some of the coolist places. All I have around here is mountains, fjords, and the ocean. Well I think my Expedition is nicer then yours but, we all feel that way about our rides. You always remind me of how nice the people were when I rode through Minnysoda.
Hi kirk I sure would like some mountains and ocean around here.. Sometimes you just need a change of scenery.. I do love my catrike . The expedition will definitely go down as a classic.. I will only sell it to get a new one. My rover is a classic too..I should make a video . The two classics" Thanks for the nice comment, my friend.
Çok harika bir makine ❤😊
Thanks for the comment. 👍
Keşke türkiyedede bulunsa bu bisikletler hiç tereddütsüz alırdım ama malesef türkiyede yok
I'm sorry to hear that. More people should experience the fun you can have on one of these machines. Thanks for commenting.
Great Job Ter! Looks comfy cozy!
Hi Sunshine ! Thanks for the comment.
Great video you got a sub from bless you .
Awesome, thank you!
Nice job! I did something similar with my F-150 for the ROAM tour in 2011. Although I needed a trailer, for the Velomobiles. These days I use my Dodge Magnum to tow the two Expeditions and sleep in the back of the Magnum. The 394 cubic inch Hemi works a bit better then the small block V-8 in the Ford, towing in the mountains out West. With that rig, you can come over to Tater TOT, sometime, I think you would really like the Trail of the Coeur D' Alenes.
Thanks kirk I do love my Chevy. That old truck has got 350,000 Miles ion it and is still going strong. You never know. I might be out that way someday. Thanks for commenting.
Yes, very cool. I would ride one, and I do ride one. I built one also. I don't know why they aren't really popular. Love mine. Digging the trailer on yours 👍
There so much safer then the little scooters. A fun way to get around. It's a mystery why there aren't more around . The trailer is great for those long hauls. Thanks for commenting.
@@FMChronicles Yes, Sir! Definitely way more stable than what you can buy. I guess maybe the larger size makes it less appealing to the folding smaller type. While these aren't something you can easily throw in the back seat of a car, for me the stable comfy ride more than makes up for the size. To each their own though, no right or wrong answer. Enjoy your adventures, and happy trails!
Thanks, you too
Looks good. Do you prefer those bars over the original cruiser bars? Looks like they may sit a bit higher, maybe more comfortable when cruising? Not many of these electried that I've seen. Only a handful of videos. I built one of these, too. Constantly upgrading. I currently have my battery mounted on the rear rack, but you can really feel the frame flexing when riding. Really fun though!
Yes, the original bars were very uncomfortable for me. I had to find a way to raise the bars as well.. I'm 5'11", and the original bars sat too low.. plus, i seem to have better control with the new ones. My new design has front wheel drive and a much lighter frame. Thanks for the comment.
@@FMChronicles Oh, cool. I thought about a front wheel drive initially, but decided on the rear drive because there are quite a few hills where I live, so I wanted to get all the torque available by using the smaller 20" wheel. Thanks for the feedback! Your scooter is nice 👍
Fantastic video! It conveys all the joy of pedaling a trike!
Thank you for commenting
So much fun riding a recumbent bike/trike! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for commenting
Loks sweet as. What rack is on the back?
It's just a Standard bike rack That ii modified.
You saved their lives. Thank you.
Felt sorry for the little rscals. Thanks for commenting.
Did my eyes deceive me? What kind of animal foot prints were in the snow?
Wolf or bear.
FUN!@@FMChronicles
You brought me with you in to a world I have not experienced. That was wonderful! Thank you!
You're welcome. Thanks for commenting.
Enjoyed your video, thanks for posting 👍
