Thanks for watching and commenting! Yes, since we live in rural Colorado we opted for the larger trikes (Utah Tike SunSeeker CSX Fat Tads) with the suspension, and fat tires so we can "off road" and also ride in snow. That does require a larger vehicle to stow 2 of these out of sight and out of weather. However, our small trailer works great as well, if we are not going to leave the trikes unattended, and if we are parking to ride at a trailhead that has the longer parking spaces. We always have a tarp and tie down straps handy in our unpredictable weather, and that system works great in rain or winter weather here as well... There are other light weight and even folding trike options for those who do not want or need off-roading capabilities, and have smaller vehicles to transport their trikes. Happy Triking!-G.G.
I've installed light plywood on the outside panels - you could just do the one that you walk on - find the cross bars a little awkward to feel safe walking on. - I'm loading into a full size van.
So far we're agile enough to step on a bar, but for those who cannot, great idea! Did you put some type of non-skid tape on the plywood for friction? With out back issues, that would make the ramp too heavy to manage...but great idea!--Happy Triking! -GG

We use Arcshell 5 walkie talkies and they are AWESOME! Please watch my video on "Trike Talkin--My Favorite Communications Gear" where I talk about them in depth! The thumbnail has the little kid on the big wheel. They are wonderful on the trial and more. They are so inexpensive, we thought they were too good to be true, but after 6 or 7 years of use they are still doing great! Thanks for watching!--Blessings, GG
Thanks for a great demonstration. Neat system!🙂 You need a truck or minivan or big SUV for two trikes out of the weather.

@@TrikeTalkinWithGrizzlyGrannyyes we did add some non-skid tape; our ramp is aluminum, and folds 25.50.25%
Great ramps! We have two ramps from Discount Ramps; however, your ramp looks like it would be easier for us 76 year olds to use. Thanks for the video.

Is that an 8’ bed?
Yes! 8 Foot. Room for our trikes and lots more. Happy Trails-G.G.
