    In this episode we picked up a used Terra Trike Rover tandem. Will it be a good ride for us? We've never tried a tandem!

    Thanks for the bloopers, shows not as easy as it looks to be a vlogger

      No doubt. It's fun to throw these in sometimes. I have lots of footage that is on the floor.

    Sweet ride there guys. You’re going to need a trailer for the tandem , the Eyeball and 2 or 3 trikes when you travel. Enjoy!

      We've been looking into that for a while now. Considering selling the van as it is aging, but it is a Toyota, and it just keeps going. We'll see what happens.

    Very cool Jim! And it has excellent upgrades. I also saw “Trike 123” on it. That’s a recumbent and bike shop in Mt. Airy, MD where I bought two trikes.
    Nice job. Enjoy!

      Well it's something we haven't been able to try yet. The Decals came off almost as soon as it came home. They were bigger than the Terra Trike decals!

    Good luck with the new ride. Does it count in the N+1 or is it N+2? Better keep the ELB cranking away with you so you aren’t doing all of the work. Coincidentally today I was riding the Cape Cod Canal this morning with my 8 year old grandson and we encountered a couple at the start point that had a Terra Trike tandem in red. They love it . They has to buy a trailer to transport it but otherwise they said it’s awesome and they ride everywhere together.

      Not sure how the math would go on this one. Would it be 2 or only 1.5? It still only has three wheels. I assume the red version of the TT tandem, is the pro version, which sits a bit lower and is geared much differently. The Rover Tandem is only made in silver (up to 2012, IIRC) and now blue. Was this what you saw: www.terratrike.com/product/tandem-pro/ ?

      @@TheFlamingEyeball I saw the red version. It sat very low . Older couple was riding it and loved it. When I see them again I will get the info.
