OK, I get it that it's hilly. A trike doesn't use quite the same set of muscles as a normal bike. So let me ask, how are you managing right now with the bike and motor that you have? Do you have to get off and push? Because that's hell with a recumbent trike. So you need two things. One is...

Sure, no worries.

Well, given that it's only barely a trike it probably does, but I don't see how it would help the OP with balance issues. Plus it would only be legal on private land in Europe unless you could get it registered as a moped. But as I actually ride a recumbent trike I'm probably unqualified to...

Well, for a start that's not an assist, it's got a throttle, but leaving that aside it's not really a trike with that close wheel spacing. It's probably a lot better than a granny trike, though. Upright trikes in general are difficult to ride on anything that's not smooth, and horrible if there...

Hmm. I wouldn't be looking at an upright trike for off road. I don't know about the bafang motor, but you want a wide gear range which the Nexus hub doesn't have. Anything with a mid drive and a standard derailleur will give you more options for changing the gear ratios by changing the cassette...

I ride one myself. A recumbent. Great fun!

You guys are lucky. Try riding a recumbent. That's nearly three standard chains. I get about 2500km to 50% wear. I sometimes wonder if I should just run the chain until it's dead and change the cassette more often.

That would be the phone bracket that dropped my new phone onto tarmac at high speed. Screen down.

Hello, and welcome to the forum. Hope you find something to suit you soon.

I sold a pair of trikes last month. The purchaser met me at my home, rode both with his wife. So his car was outside my home, and worth more than the trikes we agreed a price and he did a bank transfer which wasn't instant as this was a Saturday. I delivered them two days later So he trusted me...

Chain saw glasses from the farmers Co-op cost 4.95€ and come in yellow or black. Light, comfortable, and if they protect your eyes from flying wood chips should be just fine for riding. Plus you can use them for doing your winter wood supplies.

Pity the being fun to ride part doesn't apply to men, then.

No votes for comfortable saddles then? Oh, wait, maybe nobody has made one yet?

That's a pity.

What improvement to the bicycle since 1885 has been, in your opinion, the most significant? In particular, what has made cycling more popular, and more enjoyable, as well as more useful as a means of transportation. I'd be interested to hear from all of you on this!

The other part of the trick is to turn the front wheel through 180 degrees and strap it to the frame so you are lifting a solid mass and nothing is flopping around. I have to lift my bike above shoulder height to get it on the rack on my camper. Yes, I'm a shortarse.

So what would you guys recommend to replace big Apple on a trike? I like the comfortable ride. ( I don't do proper gnarly stuff, gravel and grass when I can avoid the tractor ruts, and about half the time minor roads) What I don't like is pulling out the little spiky things that hide in the...

I'm using one with an e-bike. As long as you have a skewer axle it's no problem. You can get different lengths. Obviously wouldn't work with a rear hub motor.

Pino Hase might be of interest. Indépendant pedaling, front rider recumbent. Performer do one similar, a good deal cheaper.

Hi How did you get on making it road legal? And will the next one be assist or throttle?
