I just did a test ride on one of these. I was really wanting to check out the Eco Tad, but the shop only had the EZ. It was the first recumbent trike I have ridden. I was impressed with how responsive the steering was; I had trouble with the twist shifter, though. The build quality seemed fantastic.
The twist shifter does take a little time to get used to on which way is up and which way is down, but after a bit, you will remember. I could never see what gear I was in with the twister though, and I go by feel. Keep in mind that the Eco Tad is only a 7-speed trike and you test rode on a 24 speed with the SX model. The SX model has direct steering and can turn on a dime, and you have to be careful at high speeds. One more thing on the ECO Tad. The seat sits on a single tube to hold the seat up and I honestly feel in time it will structurally fail or get wobbly. The SX model is still adjustable but sits on the frame for better support. Depending on where you live, the 24 speed would be better and you do have a wider range of gears to pick from, but that of course is up to you. Thank you for the comment and Ride Safe.

Tungsten is an element, it can't be trademarked/patented etc. They give it that name because it's an alloy - a combination of different things, that uses tungsten.
This model has no suspension check out the fat tire version just a few hundred more with suspension and I think it has better handle bars and other controls.
Thank you for your curiosity. I wear a mask all the time due to Allergies and upper respiratory and not because of covid. If the wind is calm, I will lower it partially. We get wind storms all the time out here in the desert, and the wind carries massive dust and sand. The winds come at a moment's notice and that's the reason. The Mask is on for allergies and not covid. Yes, I am vaccinated.
@@johnsonpaul1914 I get weird looks from people when I have the mask on outdoors. As I said, it has nothing to do with covid. 50 mph wind gusts yesterday and that means sand and dust. A lot of people don't wear masks in this area and then they wonder why their lungs hurt or get upper respiratory problems. Thanks for your comment.

Thanks for sharing all the information on your Sun EZ... I am checking on differences between these and others... Super!

I'm curious as to why your wearing a mask to make this video, and your nose isn't covered? You haven't had your shots?

@@nativedesertrider4392 Your reason for the masks makes more sense than the covid bs.
