Dimensions: Length: 0.71" Width: 0.34" Product Description: The Tour is the progression of the original TerraTrike design developed in 1996 and has been refined into the perfect long distance trike. The chro-moly frame and upgraded components make this the perfect touring platform that allows you to find your own road. With a standard 27 gears and slightly lighter set-up, it allows you to pack tents, sleeping gear, and camping supplies in optional side panniers or trunk bags without creating any instability or unwanted vibrations. Rock solid and comfortable for the long haul. Where to Buy
Reviews A good trike for the money  by: on: 15-Oct 2009 Owned one of these for three years before upgrading to ICE trike for suspension. Pros: - Stiff frame transfers power well. - The seat is very comfortable. Can ride for long periods without numbness. VERY EASY to adjust! - Although low, once you get the flag up, it is much more visible to motorists than you would think. They tend to slow down (to stare I guess). - Like most trikes, being so low to the ground, you get the sensation of speed even when you're not going that fast. I can only describe the reponse as being like riding a go cart. It's a blast! - Fairly light weight for a trike - If you mount a rear rack, this thing will carry a tone of stuff (I've carried up to 8 grocery bags home on this trike) - It's made by an American company. Cons: - Bumps and potholes transfer directly to upper spine and neck. Makes you much more aware of the road surface. I needed something with suspension. - My TT was a little to unstable for me. I used to ride it pretty fast around turns. Even leaning with the turns, I flipped it twice...my own fault. -Don't know if new model has a front chain tube, but right calf and pants always seemed to get some chain oil on it. - Turning radius is a bit wide. I used this trike a lot around town on narrow streets where turning radius is critical. If you use it on open road, it's not an issue. Thoughts: Options I would definitely suggest you get: Fenders, Extra mirror (good to have them on both sides), Rear rack, light-mounting crossbar to fit on front derailer tube. I've had 4 spinal surgeries and could not take the stiff ride of this trike. A stiff, yet comfortable and responsive trike for the money. View All Recumbent Bikes |
