1:19 your title is misleading as you are not presenting recumbent trikes as any comparison betwixt. You also are riding on MUP's and not showing yourselves going up the hill that these folks are walking up. Not one recumbent bike to be seen just trikes? I ride a 2016 Bacchetta Giro A20 touring recumbent leading rides with the Vancouver Bicycle Meetup Group as well as taking it places that a trike would not be able to negotiate. All you are showing here is a downhill glee factor not the reality of being on real hills .
It sounds like you’re a little “bent” out of shape. Pun intended. I’ve owned a Bacchetta Strada, Ti Aero, and CA 2.0 over the years. All were def faster than my trike in every situation. Balancing on an incline will be an issue for any two wheel recumbent. I am 71, firmly against E-assist and do 20-40 miles most days. I’ve climbed 13% grades at a crawl….45 mph during the descent. No way would I have made those climbs on any two wheeled cycle.
@@markrobinson891 I have very low first gear at 17.5" and a low top gear of 93" and I have climbed 19th street where I live and it is a 22% grade . Not a problem with balance and I went up it in 3rd gear with only huffing and puffing in the last 30 feet. That hill intimidated me for three years just looking at it. Yes a trike might have been easier and you can stop and start without balance issues .

There are a lot of trikes in Ohio, but not many dealers

My philosophy of bikes. Ride what you like, how you like, where you like, with who you like. If you aren’t having fun, you’re doing it wrong!
