It’s fun to watch this episode because David was so excited with his new trike. Rest In Peace my friend. ❤
This makes me smile, David. AS I watch you pacing the pavement, I recall my mental pacing as I also searched and watched for my Trike to arrive (4 months). Finally it's here, but now it a bit too cold for me to really do some good riding. Waiting for Spring. Enjoy your riding.
Once again, these contraptions turn us into kids. Enjoy your new trike and ride safely!
Congratulations! Nice Trike! I have an 11 year old Catrike. I still love it. trikes are great.
Thanks! I still loved my eight year old ICE Sprint but I was itching for a new "toy." 😉
Congratulations! Enjoy!!
Happy Riding!!!
Thanks Douglas. I intend to do just that!
Congrats on the new baby! Many happy healthy safe miles to you! I’m sure you will keep us updated as you use it. Best wishes.
Thanks Mark. And yes, I'll definitely continue updating.
Congratulations Mr. Dave.
Hi Joe and thanks!
Thanks again Dear David. I'm trying to follow your clever advices about joy and the exitment with the nature and nice trike rides. I'm looking foreward to get my first trike. I got disabled and bedridden from an allergic reaction from a vaccine, and have got a message that this will growing worse, but I will enjoy some trike rides and use the trike like an outdoor wheelchair. And I'm exited if I will manage this because I can hardly walk a few steps with crutches on a good day, but together with my doctors we have found that my legs can have almost 30% strength for a while in a laid back position with good neckrest like on a recumbent trike. It's importent with a soft ride because of the injuried nerves, but we think I will make it with full suspension and some cushion effect from 3" wide high volume tires. With the el- assist I hope this can make me come home in a wheelchair-mode if my legs won't go. Excited. Thanks for your advices, you have been really helpful David. Best Regards from Norway
Like that trike
Thanks, me too!
Roll Off is cool. That Ice is Top Shelf For Sure
Thanks Paul. I'm VERY pleased with both!
Hi there David, congrats to you and a new trike. Take care and be safe David.
From Malaysia.
Thanks Mohd! I hope you are well!
Congrats on your new ride David. E-assist is so much help. I find I ride a lot more miles than I would otherwise, and I still lost 40 lbs : )
Wow, good for you! I wasn't expecting to go out today because it's my wife's day off and we usually do errands. But I had about an hour and 15 minutes to kill and decided I could get 10 miles in. So I did! Normally I wouldn't have gone for a ride.
A little revisit to past good times, David.... sharing such are still good.
Undoubtedly you're riding this trike around " up there ".
Just wanted a small re-connection. Thanks for the good years. And there were many.
...... Ray.
Still lovin’ your videos. I especially enjoyed you pacing the parking lot like a little kid waiting on a new toy! 😁
Hi Jefferyann and thanks! That is EXACTLY how I felt!!
Congrats on the new trike. My ICE Adventure HD 26 just arrived today. Can't wait to hit the trails.
Thanks and congratulations! Have many fun and safe rides!
Wow that is the exact trike I ordered. I’m impatiently waiting!!!
When are you expecting yours to be done? And did you get yours in black or black? 😉
@@DavidRidesaTrike I ordered it through Utah trikes and they told me they would receive it from Europe in 16 weeks. 16 weeks was July 27th. Utah trikes told me they should receive it last week or this coming week. They’ll build it and ship it to me. I ordered a bafang 1000 watt e-assist motor too with full suspension. I can’t wait. I ordered the gray and red accented trike.
Hey David! Congrats on the new trike. Can’t wait for your full road test.
@@hahafalseflag5090 Cool! I'm excited for you! I hope the timeline is accurate!
Extremely happy for you new adventure with your new trike stay healthy
Thanks Ron, I appreciate it! And the same to you!
Congratulations, have fun, looks like a good one
Yes, I really love it!
I LOVE the pacing! I'm the same way when I am expecting something....especially something so amazing to play with! Congrats on the new ride. And keep up the motivational videos. Gives us all a boost.
Thanks! Yep, I'm going on 66 and when it comes to getting a new toy I am 4 years old all over again! The videos will keep coming!
Awesome! Can't wait to hear more about your experience with the new trike!
They'll be coming!
A good choice of trike. I have an Ice Sprint X Tour (non e-assisted) trike (2019 model) myself, and have been very pleased with mine. The build quality and reliability are superb. I am sure you will get much pleasure out of it David. Stay well. I may buy a second one, with e-assist, due to health issues myself, so I am looking forward to hearing how you get on with yours.
Hi Peter. I was riding a 2013 Sprint 26 until I got this new trike. I agree with you on all points. When I first test rode trikes back in 2013 the ICE Sprint just felt better all the way around to me. Same now with the Sprint X Tour.
G'day David.....
Hey... just like a kid with a new toy, aren't you. What a beauty !!
You remind me of Christmas mornings when my two daughters would rip open parcels to see what ' they got '. That was fifty years ago, but the envisioned excitement ' in the air ' is still like now. And you've got it , too !
Yep.... you, with your new long awaited trike have the same aura.
Good luck to you David. Thanks for sharing.
Down here we're in ' lockdown ' , so triking is not on..... for weeks ! Geez I miss being out and about !
So, seeing you enveloped in the pleasure of your resplendent new machine is ..... Very Good !
Catchya down the track....
Best wishes..
Ray..... in Oz.
I felt like a kid! Almost 66 but I'm still only 4 years old when I'm waiting for my toy! Stay safe. This has to end one day.
I was supposed to get my new (and first) trike the same day you did. Unfortunately the main tech broke his hip and the rest of the staff fell behind. I should have it this coming weekend. Very excited.
Let me guess....Utah Trikes?? Mine is delayed, too.
Not Utah Trikes. Angletech.
@@katrinastockley13 Wow. Kind of similar issues. Good luck, hope your trike arrives ASAP!
@@stevensmith9925 Thankfully my trike isbin the store. Just not put together. Do you have an eatimate for yours?
From reading through this it sounds like you should be receiving yours soon. I'm lucky to have a recumbents only bike shop about 15 minutes from my home. I'm sure you'll love it when you do get it!
“David Paces the Parking Lot.” Lol! That new rig, wow!
That would have been a great name!! And thanks!
My wife and I ride ICE Trikes too! We ride the Adventure models.They also have the Shimano E8000 system. The rear on these bikes is suspended, the fronts are not!
Hi Eric. My old trike was an ICE Sprint - not too different from the Adventure. It had no suspension and now I have front and rear and I can really feel the difference in several spots. I'm happy I decided to go with it.
Congratulations! Enjoy!
Thanks Bev!
So excited 😆!
It's a great trike!
I'm very excited for you...can't wait to get your review
Thanks Debbie. I might end up doing separate reviews for the e-assist and the Rohloff. We shall see … 😁
@@DavidRidesaTrike yes that would be a very long video if you included everything on the trike. Shes a beauty!👏
We miss you David.
Looks nice! May have to consider one of these for my wife. Add a “side car” for the dog and I’m sold!
Quite a few people have sidecars or other means to have their dogs come along. I bet they'd both enjoy it!
Beautiful trike, love it. My next trike will be a scorpion
Also a great trike!
Quite jealous of the new e-assist bike. I am still breaking in my new bike. The distances and speed are getting better every time I am out. Still can't keep up with the better half on two wheels, but just being able to ride again is a great thing.
Love seeing you out and about and enjoying the time behind the wheels.
Hi Ronal, don't worry about the speed. Just enjoy the ride. Honestly, I told myself that for about a month after getting my first trike and then it suddenly really became how I felt.
@@DavidRidesaTrike I appreciate it David. I am really trying to not worry about speed. It is tough since my wife is almost always with me when I ride and she is able to outpace me all the time. But I hope that after I get more time behind the pedals that my pace will increase. Your channel really does motivate to keep after it and for that I thank you.
@@sirquack You'll get there. Hopefully you guys can find a happy in-between speed for both of you. Or, get her to switch to a trike!
I am handicapped. I have to use my power chair when I go outdoors. Your bike is fantastic. I am on medicare so I can't afford to purchase this bike. It is a wonderful bike.
Hi Philip. Yes, unfortunately these trikes are not inexpensive. Right now I feel quite fortunate to be able to afford one. I think a big part of that is that I haven't owned or driven a car for over 20 years so I've avoided that expense. You might want to keep your eyes open for a used e-assist trike which might be more affordable.
Congratulations! Wishing you years of happy riding with your new partner. I'm envious of your electric mode. I love my trike, but I'm slower than I was on two wheels. I hope that improves over time.
Thanks Pam! I'm with you on the speed - not so much simply for the sake of going faster, but I'd like to be able to keep up with others on group rides. A few years ago I organized a ride on the trail I ride. I was the only trike and I couldn't come close to keeping up with them which really bummed me out.
I’ve been riding an ICE Trike for five seasons. Your speed and efficiency will improve as you strengthen yourself to ride your machine. Enjoy!
Can't wait to see it in action and find out how it rides.
Based on today it's great!
Great to see it my friend! I'm very happy with my EBO, but I do envy your Rohloff. Can't have one with a hub motor, but I make up for it with the thumb throttle at stoplights.
The immediate boost in power and average speed are exhilarating, aren't they? I increased my avg from a sedate 7.2 to 11.4 mph now. I have 5 assist levels, but generally stick to level 2. I'm so happy for you...I do wish we could go for a ride together to compare notes!
Hi Greg and thanks! Yes, the Rohloff is quite nice. I imagine it will take a bit of time to get used to the new setup. As I mentioned in an earlier comment, even though it's the same model as I had previously, the geometry has changed so that along with the assist, IGH and suspension make it a whole different beast.
Excellent! There is nothing like having that little motor to ease out the bumps along the way. Be very curious to see how your miles per battery work out. I have the 6000 motor on my Adventure and the 8000 motor on my Full Fat. Fairly large difference between the two. BTW … boost mode is like having a jet pack!
Hi PedalPushin! Right now with a brand new battery is says the computer says I should get 60 miles in Eco, 45 in Trail and 29 in Boost. We shall see. And yes, you can literally feel the "push" when you put in in Boost and start pedaling!
My friend, I am so, so happy for you!!!!! Congratulations. Can’t wait to hear your forthcoming enjoyment reviews. BTW, I’ve been using my default e 8000 assist settings for 6 months and I’m only now thinking about adjusting them. Important ride this coming weekend. I’m same as you, 90% of the time I’m in ECO. Again, cowabunga dude!!!!
Aloha buddy and thanks! You'd think the default settings would be medium across the board, but nope. After riding up and down my street a few times I knew I wanted to change them and I really prefer it to how it was. At some point I may want to change again but for nw, it seems perfect. Thanks again!
Wow!! The wait is over, great to hear your summary. My wife will wait 6+ months for her ICE adventure. My HP Scorpion should be here by Aug 16th. It too will have e-assit and Rohloff hub. Can't wait!!
They're all backed up like crazy. On their website, Catrike said if you order one now the wait is 47 weeks!
Nice wheels. Congratulations!
Thanks!
Congratulations David, it is a beautiful trike! Your channel was one of the first channels I found when I was looking into the possibility of getting a trike. Your videos are inspirational and helped push me over the edge into world of recumbents. I haven't been on an upright in 20 years, now I'm anxiously awaiting for the call that my first trike has arrived. Maybe I'll run into you on the DPRT one day and can thank you in person. Enjoy your new ride!
Thanks for the message! Only know how to reply here. Wish I knew the ETA, but I guess I'll have to wait for the call from Joe and Julie at Amlings. Waiting is darn difficult, lol.
When I ordered my trike Joe told me the ETA was late July. Knowing that I was actually okay waiting. But when he called me and told me it was at the shop … THAT was when I reverted to a 5-year old waiting to open a present!
Very cool David 👍🏽😎im still waiting on mine coming to Jersey from Utah Trikes👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽God Bless
Do you have an ETA?
@@DavidRidesaTrike They were supposed to ship it out tomorrow Friday so hopefully I’ll have it in a week
@@JerseyStyle7 Well, with any luck you'll be riding it a week from now!
Congratulations David I’m waiting for my electric to come soon as well maybe we can ride together one day soon although my other trike is working well
Hi Joe, when are you expecting yours? I'm ready to ride whenever you wan to. Did you get your rack?
Amlings Cycle has been in business since 1967.
They really know their stuff. ICE is a great trike although the HP Velotechnik Scorpion PLUS is the best trike out there,
I would have preferred the ICE Adventure though.
The TRIOT trike is superb as well.
I don't know that you can say any trike is the best. Rather, I think we each can find the one that is best for us individually.
@@DavidRidesaTrike - Check out TRIOT trikes in detail. They are magnificent, but not well known at all. I like their belt drive model. We will be going to belt drive more and more. The Scorpion PLUS has a weight limit of 330 lbs. Necessary for the heavier rider. HP Velotechnik has everything you can think of and so does ICE. The AZUB has a very sturdy folding hinge. Cost is a limiting factor for many.
@@StellarFella I have read about the TRIOT Trikes but I've never ridden one. I've ridden all of the HP models and for me, I just don't find them as comfortable as ICE and several others. And I do love the idea of belt drive!
@@DavidRidesaTrike - HP Velotechnik and ICE remain on the cutting edge of seat comfort with ICE in the lead for now in that department. The entire HP package is superb though for those touring for thousands of miles each year.
@@StellarFella My old trike had the normal "webbed" seat which is similar to most other trikes out there. I think part of what I like about the ICE is being low to the ground.
I feel for u dude
Thanks!
Sweet ride David
Be well and stay safe,
bf
Thanks Bill!
Super impressive ICE Trike David. Isn't the e-assist wonderful!? I could hear the joy in your voice, "Wow, Wow, Wow!"
I also have the Shimano Steps system on my HP Velotechnik. I want to adjust the Eco & Trail settings, but I'm afraid to do it myself. Maybe the next time it's in the shop I'll have them do it for me.
Hi Tom. Yes, I am really loving it! Changing the settings with the phone app was really quite simple.
I’m so happy for you, you’ve waited a long time for this! I bet you climb those hills to the bridges with ease now! Are you selling your old bike by your self or will the shop sell it on consignment?
Thanks Steve. Yesterday on the DPRT was a whole new experience. It does make a HUGE difference on those run-ups to the bridges. You know that one just south of 60 when you're headed north? The one we both talked about struggling on? Yesterday I cruised up it at 8.2 mph! It's crazy.
@@DavidRidesaTrike Dang that would be nice but I need the workout too bad!! Plus I doubt I could afford it.
@@stevesimek7588 Yeah, they definitely aren't cheap. I keep justifying it by telling myself that if I still drove we'd have the expense of another car so this is cheap in comparison. 😉
Congratulations on the new ride…what are you doing with your old trike?
Thanks! I'm going to be putting it up for sale soon.
Had BOSCH e-assist added to my TerraTrike Gran Tourismo. Love it. Now considering adding an internal gear hub (IGH) but am gagging at the cost. I know yours is not a gear review channel but am curious to know if you think the cost of the IGH is justified.
Hi Bruce. At some point after I've put some miles under the new trike I will talk about the Rohloff, the e-assist and I think the suspension. Not so much from a technical standpoint but from a usage standpoint. Based on my one ride though, I love the Rohloff! Around here 14 gears are plenty and having each twist of the handle move up or down an equal amount all the way through the range is nice. Mechanically it functioned perfectly and being able to shift while stopped is a very nice touch. The one thing I have to get used to are the twist shifters. I'd been riding with thumb shifters since 1990. Even when I was riding a road bike I had thumb shifters at the ends of my handlebars as well as on my old tike. Yesterday I kept reaching my thumb up to shift and there was nothing there!
@@DavidRidesaTrike Haha! Muscle memory...like pushing up at the bridge of your nose even when you're not wearing glasses. 😉😉😉
I’ve been struggling to determine if I want to add the Bosch system to my Catrike Explorer. I had one available to me and turned it down but am still considering it. The more positive I hear about the e-assist the better chances are I’ll add it, so keep letting us know how amazing it is. That bike is a beauty. Took the same one for a test ride a a few months ago. Enjoy it brother.
Thanks! Based on just my ride yesterday, a short 10 miler today and a couple miles on the street where I live, I'm already convinced that e-assist is the only way to go.
@@DavidRidesaTrike don’t know what I was thinking passing that one up. Been doing 20-25 every evening, but really want to do a long trip soon. Have you thought of doing any overnighters or few nights? I’ve had it almost 9 months now and still it never gets old. Fixing up my old mountain bike but don’t know if I’ll ever ride it. Just looking for a 2 wheel back up. What did you do with your old bike?
@@kmccarr I think about doing a long trip ALL the time. There are two obstacles however. One, I have a lot of meds that can't be exposed to extreme temperatures so depending on the lenght of the trip, I'd have to have some sort of insulated carrier in addition to my other gear. The other hurdle is my vision, or lack thereof. I could never do a road ride alone. With someone I trusted I would be okay. And a third hopefully temporary problem is Covid. Right now even though I'm fully vaccinated, the vaccine has little to no effect on transplant patients and I've been told to behave as if I was unvaccinated. On top of that my transplant meds cause me to have a very compromised immune system. So, if I get Covid (or any viral or bacterial infection for that matter) it hits me exceptionally hard.
@@DavidRidesaTrike I thought that might be a factor. Keep doing what your doing and keep those videos coming. Really enjoy watching and pray that you keep getting stronger everyday. Thanks!
@@kmccarr I'm not planning on quitting any time soon.😀 And thanks again!
That’s the kind of trike I have, without the E-assist, but isn’t it a dream to ride? I haven’t had any other trike, but when it comes replacing my present one, I’d be hard-pressed to find anything better. Enjoy!
So happy for you, David! Wonderful to see you zip up that grade. That's the only reason i would ever want a motor. Speed means nothing to me, but the hills are a drag. Will be interesting to see your reactions to that motor. It's looks amazing.
Yes, for me the two reasons for the assist were the little climbs (mostly bridges over the river but they can be steep) and so that I can ride with people on DF bikes and not get dropped.
@@DavidRidesaTrike Those are great reasons, David. The motor sounds perfect for you. You'll enjoy your rides a lot more now.
From where did you order your trike and for how much?thanx I hope you enjoy it.
I purchased it from my local bike shop, Amlings Cycle. And I'm sorry, but I feel discussing the price of something I purchased is personal information.
Love your vids dave! What would be the total cost on this trik?
Thanks Darren! Regarding the cost, let's just say it's far more than I ever thought or would consider spending. 😉
How do you like Rohloff? I am thinking of adding it to my Catrike Dumont ebike. Thinking of a full twist right handle bar though, thoughts on twist control? I have myofacial pain and arthritis in my hands, wrists and forearms.
I'm loving the Rohloff. Very reliable although granted, I've only had it a short time. Being able to shift when stopped or shift multiple gears at once is really nice. Regarding the twist grip. This is the first bike or trike I've owned with a twist grip. I always had thumb shifters on my DF bikes since the late 80s as well as on my last trike. I am still getting used to the twist grip. Sometimes I still reach up with my thumb to shift. But making the switch hasn't been too bad. It doesn't require a lot of effort and you can do it without a really tight grip.
@@DavidRidesaTrike, Did you get the shorter twist grip control for the Shimano Steps emotor?
@@aurora04444 I honestly don't know. The grip seems to be the same or very close to the same length as the grip on my last trike.
@@DavidRidesaTrike love to see a pic...can tell that way... is grip one piece and it all moves when you turn it?
@@aurora04444 You can't put pictures in TH-cam comments but yes, the entire grip turns when you shift.
Looking for this bike, did the bike dealer have another coming in?? Thanks, David
Hi Liz. I had to wait about five months for my trike. I know my dealer doesn't have another one like this in stock. It would be tough to find on set up like this.
Please do a video of you riding up hill.
That is going to be pretty hard considering the terrain is very flat around here.
That sounds expensive,how much was it?
Let's just say it wasn't inexpensive.
Please link what bike you have, with all attachments. Thank you!
Hi Liz. It's an ICE Sprint X Tour - www.icetrikes.co/products/sprint-x-tour-recumbent-trike. I have added the Shimano STEPS E-Assist System, full suspension and a Rohloff hub.
How would you compare this bike with the adventure 26?? I was about to purchase Adventure 26 PA until saw your video!!
@@lizm6721 I'm probably not the best (or even a good) person to ask this question. I think the Sprint is a little more laidback whereas the Adventure is more upright. I just know when I test rode trikes I was more comfortable on the Sprint. For more details I would either ask your dealer or send and email to ICE. I wish I could say more but I just don't know enough about the differences.
How much does it weigh?
Good question. I don't know exactly but it is heavy. I think the trike itself is listed at 38 lbs. Then add on the Steps motor, the battery and 5,462 pieces of video and camera equipment I tend to carry around it's probably pushing over 50 lbs.
@@DavidRidesaTrike You can easily measure it. Either use a bathroom scale under each wheel, or a luggage scale to pull up on each wheel. Then add up all the numbers.
You robbed a bank at your age?
Not quite. If I tried to, I'd have to use my old trike as a getaway vehicle as I don't have a car.
@@DavidRidesaTrike Well now you can set it to 'boost'. They'll never catch you. Amlings will get the money eventually.
@@driewiel You do have a point!
