My AZUB test ride at Cycle-con 2024 convinced me place my order. I expect my Ti-Fly X to arrive mid to late Nov 2024. I cannot wait to ride and ride. Thanks for the video. Since I only found your channel a few months ago, I’ve got a lotta watching to catchup.
You look so happy riding this trike. Keep in mind that the Shimano Steps system has three levels on each - Eco, Trail, and Boost - modes. I used the E-Tube app to custom set all levels to my liking. Sylvia Halpern has a nice video on using the app that I used as a guide to custom set my Shimano Steps modes.
I prefer to say Sackrest. All that sponge on the seat is ok for cold climates, but on long trips in the heat it will be soaked with sweat. After a rest, sitting back down on cold wet cushions will not be too nice. I prefer my well shaped mesh seat on my magnum (but wish it had rear suspension at least.
Thanks Matt for a great review and test drive of Azub. I’m also thinking about getting one myself, but don’t have access to test drive one in Finland. How do you find Ti-Fly X steering stability in comparison to other tadpole trikes you have driven? By that I mean for example on straight gravel/tarmac roads, is Azub stable and doesn’t need much of steering forces from driver to go straight on? I had opportunity to test drive Azub non suspension model T-Tris AR with 3x26” wheels and that felt really good, altough a bit stiff without suspension, but steering didn’t need extra efforts from the driver. Also my current trike HP Velotechnic Scorpion 20" is quite the same with really good steering stability.
sorry for the late reply.. yea the steering was great... i was surprised with the size of the wheels how narrow the radius was. of course not as narrow as the 20's.. but impressive nonetheless.
Man that trike looks like a sweet ride. I have 24x2.1 tires all around on one of mine and if they roll harder than 20" I sure don't notice. Great video.
Really enjoyed today's vlog as I do with all of them...I built two trikes the first 26 inch and them change it to 20 inch wheels which I bought from terrace trikes when I was in the States...it was lower but alittle easier on the up hills. My two younger brothers both have e bikes
I have said it before and say it again, of course you should have electric assistance! You get further every day and you can have your nice trailer behind without you feeling it. Complete one more boom with engine and you have two options with and without engine and replace when you feel like it.
Hi Matt,i have the same tires on my (wheels 😉)Ti Fly X and they are very good punctured resistant.The rolling resistant is also good and they have a long lifetime.Rolling sound is also ok for such a wide tire.I hope that cushined seat soon will be available.
Thanks for the review. Been looking at the Ti Fly X and the TRI con GR. Going back and forth between the two. I am hoping that AZUB will bring both to the Recumbent Cycle Con in Dayton this October. Will you be there? Love your Videos. Glad to see you back on a trike.
The suppleness of those Vee speedsters contributes to the smoothness, but with that comes the trade off in puncture protection. Personally if I am using those tires I would look into innertube sealants.
Wow...what an awesome trike!!! The padded seats design are well thought out too..especially the ball rest. Just for fun, what do the balls say to each other? "No matter what, you hang on there, buddy!!!" 🤣🤣🤣 JaYoe!!! Cheers.
I am looking at getting one of these in about a years time, perhaps with 24" front rims and 90mm drum brakes though. One of my routes home from work more than resembles where you were riding here, so I think it would work well 🙂Be good to see what you end up with!
Two wheels..I was thinking of looking into a e trike. I will enquire from AZUB if they have had dealings with Israel...I have reached the age that a electric assistant trike sounds good. Waiting to hear good news up dates....stay safe
Your old trike setup was 500 pounds? Maybe that’s why you were/started to have so many knee issues? That seems like a lot of weight to be pushing around day in and day out.
Hi Matt, I just turned 65. I want to cycle across China. Just want to pack minimal and stay in hotel. Do you see problems with this plan. Please advise.
But how does it do on 20% grade Chinese farm village roads? LOL all those 10 hour rides in Japan could have been done in 2 hours.😭😁 Did you add a trailer hitch?
Hi Matt.. Hope all is well.. i just realized that you left Portland.. I'm a little behind schedule.. med issues.. I spoke with Honza about getting a padded seat (like the ICE trikes) ask him what his response was to my request.. LOL.. I think he changed his mind.. LOL I've lost most of my eye sight and i'm taking it easy now until i can arrange for assistive devices.. It would have been fun to take you on the Springwater to Boring.. I'm sorry we didn't make that happen.. Hope all is well in Czechnya. Tell Honza hello for me.. You have my email. Keep me informed.. Rob PDX USA
Mounting the Trike on the Van..? what about going to a boat shop and looking for a winch system that swings off the edge of the boat to lift objects out of the water..? That trike could be on that beautiful rack you have mounted on the roof. (you already have the ladder).. Just watch out for low parking garages so you don't plow the trike into the concrete on the second floor.. Know your overall height and add an extra 6" for clearance safety..
all trikes have exposed chain near the front chainring.. even Catrike. The heavy weeds and grass i was riding thru were pulling the chain tubes left and right as i was guiding the trike thru the field there. There are not catrike models that could even get in that terrain like this, and if you did upsize the wheels on one and pust it hard into that grass it would do the same thing. If you were riding trails or open road, your leg would not touch the chain.

I rided the subway today.... damn it... so many sickos ..... any NO security/police in presence at all.
Can our planet earth go even crazier??? It is 1000000% beyond my imagination!!!
Azub should use Hemp fabric and maybe even Hemp foam. Hemp does not allow moister.
Matt- your joy in riding the Ti-Fly is so fun to watch. You are going to enjoy it so much when it finally catches up with you!

so cool... late Nov is not too far away
I love the genuine delight with this trike! It is really cool!

This episode has a Bob Ross Goes Trike Riding kind of feel. Happy little clouds. No wrong words, just happy miss-spoke-enings.
Reminds me of my ICE Full Fat … and the freedom is real although 6-8 inches of heavy snow does slow you down quite a bit.
which euphemism do you like the most when i was talking about the "cupping of the huevos"?
lol, I have a sticker on WeChat that says "Ho Li Chit!!"
Familyyyy !!! Yes !!!

Omg the beginning. 🤣 From the cupping part to the tires. I am ded. 🤣
Love seeing you excitement, Jayoe, Matt!!

Thanks for the great video. You have sold me on the seat for sure.

Can you make an update video about your knees after the stem cell procedure?

I second that. Of AZUB being at the Cycle-Con in Dayton, OH

Lol Matt you almost had me crash I was laughing when you said it’s a pad for the balls lol
What’s going on with your trike .please give us another update. Fingers crossed , hope it good

The one I built for me is really nice….. for me.
Can’t wait for you to see it
What’s going on with your trike. You haven’t posted in awhile. Everything ok. I miss your video’s look forward to them. God bless
what ever happend to the og bike in Thailand, is it still there ?
Since this episode, did U finally get your AZUB trike back to USA after the Airport dilemma??
Two wheels..I was thinking of looking into a e trike. I will enquire from AZUB if they have had dealings with Israel...I have reached the age that a electric assistant trike sounds good. Waiting to hear good news up dates....stay safe
What a nice trike. Wish it was mine and you where setting on a feather. We would both be tickled.
Matt.. Are you going to put one of the Ja Yoe logo t-cycle head rest and flags on the new Ti FlyX..? Nice color BTW
Your old trike setup was 500 pounds? Maybe that’s why you were/started to have so many knee issues? That seems like a lot of weight to be pushing around day in and day out.
Yea. It was crazy. But I loved it
no front fendahs?
Hi Matt it's great to see you back on the trike and travelling where the notion takes you. Is it the Tiger Duck that's hostage in Dublin. 🐯🦆💙
Hi Matt,
I just turned 65. I want to cycle across China. Just want to pack minimal and stay in hotel. Do you see problems with this plan. Please advise.
Loving the new trike pal it looks amazing I am thinking of building my own have you got any help for a first time builder please
How's the steering feel?
Really nice. Responsive. But also heavy and solid.
What specs on the mid drive and batteries? Total weight of the rig?
Haha your new trike has multiple cup holders lol
What did you do about shipping your battery?
Mine does not have a battery. This was just a Azub floor model
What does this cost?
Azub trikes cost anywhere from 3500 up depending on what you want. They have a calculator on configurator.azub.eu/
Saludos Amigo.
Buen video un abrazo desde Perú.
But how does it do on 20% grade Chinese farm village roads?
LOL all those 10 hour rides in Japan could have been done in 2 hours.😭😁
Did you add a trailer hitch?
Tommy Boy!!
Freedom for free dingling
So, what would the cost be to others "if" it goes on market?
expect in the neighborhood of a brand new motorcycle, $6000~13000.
Hey jayooo i Made My 2 trikes tires 24 front 26 back
Hi Matt.. Hope all is well.. i just realized that you left Portland.. I'm a little behind schedule.. med issues..

What’s the cost of your trike
“Pelvic protector”? Actually the seat rise is to help keep your bum firmly in the seat, especially when braking.
Let's call it nuts pillow, lol
I wonder how he would describe the female version if any, lol
@@paulzuithoff9527 LoL
Nut nook. Sack shelf. Ballbag beanbag. Testicle trough.
it's odd that I'm subscribed but still don't get any alerts for your videos
Please let us know what’s going on. I’m going into withdrawal.

Re., the seat's testicle accomodater (sic): you referred to it as a "cutting edge technology"...OUCH!!!
DON'T go into sales!!!🤣🤣🤣
Obviously, you don't have a problem with Hay Fever.
First test ride....Oh wait...but it's NOT my bike....another test ride.....JC...if you're trying to confuse us Matt, you're doing a good job. sigh
Hahah. First test ride of “a” TiFLY X. Not “my” TiFLY X
Is he riding his bike to China? Hope
So.
A double nut strut
Peter trike costa rica
No Rohloff14?? FAIL
Mine does…. WIN!
So you abandoned ur wife and daughter in China
I think she told him to leave.
Has no throttle
there is a throttle... its built into the motor. it has three levels of power and responds to your pedal pressure. It also has the speedhub gearing.
Design is bad..your leg hits the chain ..catrike doesn’t have that problem ..see all the grease on your leg ???? 60 mile trek will cause bad chaffing
