Love my CSX, have over 800 miles on it just riding around the neighborhood. Have the 750 watt Befang mid-drive and this works great for this 77 year old, usually have it on pedal assist 1-3 and sometimes 4 for the hills. And with all the options Utah Trikes offers you can set it up just about any way you like. And it fits in the back of a Toyota Sienna van with the center seat of the second row removed and the rear wheel is just at the front of the second row seats.
Gunna give y'all my 2 cents worth on this Kewl Sumbich ! I went with the Rear rack, fenders and roller bearing upgrade. Hunting in walk in only areas with this trike brings me great pleasure. I will be installing a Rohloff because of the Sprockett noise scaring wildlife. I should not have invested in the fenders. This is great fun and great exercise at the same time. Zero upper body fatigue and laid back indeed. This cutie pie gets a lot of attention
The SunSeeker FatTad can drift around paved hair pen turns. The trike is easy on my back. Fits in the back of the truck. We have to lean it on the side to get the trike through the door. Going to make a few up grades later. When I have more miles under the tiers i'll share more. I Love it!
Great breakdown of the trike and what available accessories are out there from Utah strikes. Nice to know that you can get into an 'entry level' off road trike for a reasonable price and upgrade as you get the cash.
Always watching all trike videos from Queensland Australia.and wondered when folded can take on trains public transport as well We need trikes shops each state in Australia.
I got one of these in August last year and fitted it with a Tong Sheng mid drive and overvolted the motor and smoked it. Lesson learned. I will be fitting it with a CYC Photon in the next couple weeks and will also upgrade the steering head bearings and the Ackerman steering upgrade too. Love the trike but the front suspension is pretty clunky. Smooth surfaces good, rough ones, not so much😢. Blessings to all my fellow trikers❤😊
Love my Fat Tad. I got it after an injury in Feb '22 and bought it to help my recovery. Love it and plan to get my special needs son one when he's older. Right now I pull him in a bike trailer behind my Fat Tad. I added the 1000W motor, head set, ackerman arms, rack with fender, aluminum idler with longer chain, 26" rear tire with arm extensions, headlight and tail light, bags, and hydration bladder behind the seat. I just ordered a rear brake and dual brake lever for the front brakes. Love this machine.
Wondering about the total price with bearing and idler upgrades, rear rack, and Bafang motor. Seems well worth the money. How much would I have to pay?🙂
Sun entered the recumbent industry before 2007! The original EZ TAD (called the Sun EZ Tadpole) began life in 2005. The predecessor to the EZ-Tri Classic (introduced in 2008), the EZ-3 SX, was introduced around 2002.
Can you send me a catalog of models and options to choose from? I’m looking for two 20” front and a 26” rear all fat tires with fenders, bafang front motor.
I am looking for a fat trike, that I can put a rear rack on, and a Burley style trailer hitch. And maybe those side mounts for handle bar bags. Plus, can you put a rear brake on that Fat Cat? I am looking for a commuter trike with fat tires for winter time use. I am unable to drive.
I like the trike but, not the handlebars. Should be like a catrike. Is it called direct steering? I'm 5'4 can boom be cut? Last question is handlebars. Can the tilt back ?
Under-seat steering with upper arms vertical is most natural. Direct steering has arms extended both forward and outward. More tiring, with much more vibration.
@Gary Seckel maybe. I haven't done a long distance ride. I test rode a catrike 559. To me the handlebars look like your arms will tire because you have nothing to rest your arms or forearms on. So your arms are halfway up the whole time. I feel they need arm rest built in into frame to rest arms like the catrike does.
@@smallnuts2 I put wrist rests on my Hase brand trikes. They work. Upper arms are naturally vertical at rider's sides, with tiny push/pull movement to steer. No steering vibration from the road with under-seat steering. Swinging both extended, widely spaced arms sideways is tiring and totally unnatural. Indirect steering is both power steering AND it is vibration free!

I have one for sale if you're interested
@@chriscarpenter5160why would they be interested? They just spent an entire paragraph gushing over the expensive trike they already purchased
Excellent and very informative . How about some Rig not a chair Quad dual rear hub motors ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Good presentation of some rather technical information! Customization capability is amazing. Wish you had a location nearer to me, in south Florida.

glad to see a new video from you like the fat tad for the most part

Thank you for catching that! We corrected this information in our newest video about the Sunseeker Delta trikes!
Our Fat Tads take us on adventures in comfort. We love 'em.

All of that can be done, including a rear brake!
I have one for sale if you're interested. With the electric motor
@@chriscarpenter5160 How much? Yes I am still interested, oh and how big of a motor and is it a mid drive or hub?
@@longrider42 it is 20ah battery, 1000w hub motor. Asking 2k
@@longrider42 what's your email?
Hell yeah!
Hate think what shipping would cost to Toronto but I want one
Afternoon, I am looking for one of your guys trikes but I need a power assist, can you guys add that?
Thank you
How much is the base price before ? 1000 mid motor and a Rolloff gear assembly…full suspension….
I have the maglock pedals on my trike. What is your opinion on those?
If they work, they work!
Do you make mag wheels my spokes break on front. And seats comfort us impossible. Mine is mid hub piwered.
Would you ship a Fat Tad to Germany ?
Are these trikes street legal?
They're bicycles... So, yes.
WELL HOW MUCH?

I like this new guy he gives me a Kate feel he’s more engaged and not dry and doesn’t make the video feel boring ❤
I miss Kate.

Where is she?
@@robbyg3989 I don't know.
