I’m a Catrike guy all of the way. Started my triking by buying a used Trail which I rode 5000 miles the first year I owned it then sold it at a profit and bought a new 559 . the following year added a new 700. The 559 is my Lexus sedan and the 700 is my Porsche 911. I ride them interchangeably on a daily basis . Approaching 30,000 miles on the two of them combined. The Catrikes have been 100% reliable without any repairs other than routine wear maintenance. On occasion when I have called Catrike for info I get an individual that talks me through any issue. If I want a part my dealer calls or I call and it’s immediate delivery. They are an incredible company to do business with and it’s made in America.
I first got a Giant e-bike I loved and put 14k on, but have bad shoulder, knees and hand pain. Got the eCat 559 and love it. Have it loaded with video gear and ride the Tulsa River Parks Trails almost daily. After 2 years I added the speedbox so it easily can do 25 on flats and 30 on good down hills. It's a blast to ride and gets my HR up to 155. I'm 71 and have just over 17k on the eCat. Best heart workout I've enjoyed. :)
As a trike-curious person, I really appreciated your video. Thank-you.
Thanks for the videos. Great info. I had an original WizWheels and man was it fast. But now a Sun EZ3 (sitting higher) and with both trikes I changed to thumb shifters. So much quicker and easier than twisting to change gears. I highly recommend that to older riders, like myself, for comfort.
I'm a little prejudiced, I have owned a recumbent trike for the last 10 years. Started with the HP Velotechnik Gekko (7 years), and now I ride the HP Scorpion Enduro. I have ridden many of the other manufacturers trikes to get an idea of how they ride and handle, but at the end of the day to me HP just screams top notch Engineering, and exceptional quality of their products! Very comfortable ride, with the handling characteristics of a Formula 1. The reason I went from the Gekko to the Scorpion was the full suspension, where I ride I needed something to dampen the vibration, bumps, and rough riding surface, besides the cushioning of the tires. I got pretty beat up riding on the Gekko, would have kept it if I were riding on nothing but really smooth pavement.
HP makes some great trikes. For this video we went mainly off units sold.
I believe that the number 559 is in millimeters, not centimeters; the 559 could be the last three digits of a range of 26-inch wheels from a 25-559 (26x1) to a 57-559 (26x2125).
Good catch. A slip of the tongue. The idea is its about the size of the wheel :)
Its understandable more people's purchases in trikes are dictated by affordability, it would be interesting to see stats on sales of all brands if theyre available. We could get an idea of how popular trikes are becoming overall and numbers per brand sold.
I have an original Terratrike TOUR model. I have had it converted to electric,using the Bafang setup. REALLY nice rig.
Very cool! I love seeing the older TT Tour II's come in. It was a great trike.
An original Rambler was my first trike but I have upgraded to an All Terrain. It rides like an SUV with a worn-out underpowered engine (me). It suits my casual style of riding.
The All Terrain is cool. It may be time to add a Bosch power assist motor to it. It make you feel 30 again :)
@@LaidBackCycles I test rode an electric Rambler recently. I liked it! My wife and I have talked about going electric, but we're not ready for that yet.
Well, I like my Catrike Dumont, and the other reason why I chose Catrike it’s made here in the USA Orlando, Florida. The only thing I wish they would do is make a more comfortable seat like the ice trike
The Dumont is a great trike, I loved mine too. ICE did a great job on designing their seat, its breathable and cushy at the same time.
all of these online discussions sparked my interest in a Catrike so i checked locally and found a good deal on a Catrike speed, im really surprised how different it is from my KMX! Great Job Catrike!😁😁👍👍
I like your videos so much! I bought an All Terrain a few months ago because we have lots of bike paths in Florida, and I like to ride in comfort while exploring and stopping to take pictures of the gorgeous wildlife and scenery. It’s not fast, but a lot of the bike paths have a 20mph or less speed limit anyway. It is a nice ride.
Thank you! Enjoy your All Terrain!
Be aware that as the frame flexes, the barrel bolt that holds the seat to the frame may work loose. My solution was locktite. You will also need an Allen wrench that is larger than the typical set in the average tool box.
What part of Florida are you from?
@@markzimmermann3982, I am 30 miles west of Orlando.
@@tonycalitri8310, the bike shop near me, where I bought my trike, has dependable service, so I can get regular maintenance. I have absolutely no mechanical skills.
I’m a ICE fan myself. Love the full suspension and fold ability.
I brought the Terra trike All terrain and it is awesome.
Super fun trike! I like the climbing gears on that one.
Another question I would have would be transportation. A big part of my bicycle dreams is going places and riding trails. Bicycles have all sorts of svelte rack options to transport by motorized vehicle. How does one transport a trike?

I have a 2017 terra trike rambler that I would like add on a set of shock absorbers. Is that possible.
Hi Don, you cannot add shocks to any of the TerraTrikes.
@@LaidBackCycles Thanks for the reply
Currently, I'm riding a Day 6 bicycle and want to stay on a bicycle for as long as possible. However, if my condition worsened, I think a trike would be the next logical step. If I was on a trike, I would want it to be on a barcolounger with wheels, also, the bike would have to be able to support substantial weight. Any suggestions?
Check out the Greenspeed Magum XL or the Catrike MAX
Lastly, stores get shirty when I want to bring my bike inside. However, it seems to me that I might just be able to get away with pretending one of those trikes was a wheelchair? Any ideas? BTW if you've already done a video to answer any of these questions, please feel free to just post a link.
Ask your dr to write a prescription for it as a medical aid. That ends all the crap.
@@normawingo5116 I don’t think that would work, but it’s a very good idea.
@@hemaccabe4292 if you are in the USA it absolutely works. There’s this little “Americans with disabilities act” and they must shut up and back off and not even question further or they are in violation of the above and it’s very expensive in court if any public place violates that act. I was a ultra max prison guard and became injured and have some mobility issues that this has made access for me available.
Why not conventional "racing" trikes? (basically road bikes with two rear wheels)
Question Can balloon tires be put on these trikes??
Most of the trikes you can put up to a 2.0 size tire.
Thank You@@LaidBackCycles
Greenspeed magnums can fit 4" fat rim kits. If you get a magnum big wheel, a 24"×4" wheel will fit in the back.
@@rossbrumby1957 Thank you Really needed the info.
You forgot about the Terratrike Rover.
The Rover was a game changer when it came out. It was a low price that got many people riding again. Since they have essentially discontinued it, the Rambler has sold more units, at least in my store.
Got it just saw your website.. the reason you don't every include the TOP end trikes is because you don't carry them .... AZUB and HP is never represented. So when you say TOP selling you mean what you sell in your store....
Yes we mean both, top selling in our store and top volume in units sold overall. This video wasn't about price or best overall trike but about top selling. Thanks for chiming in. I love European brand like HP, Hase and Azub as well. I'll do some more videos on them at the next Recumbent Cycle Convention.
You're right
There is a saying that the arms are bent inwards.
Terratrike is an American company. The channel owner is also American.
Hahahahaha😁🤣🤣
