100% agreed on all points. I know you have mentioned this on other videos but it deserves another mention ... mirrors (of some type). Looking behind is important and different than an upright bike. Great channel!
Thank you! Mirrors are definitely important!
I agree on all points and a couple of additions. Always wear a brain bucket. Your head is often at bumper height, or you can take an unexpected spill. Wearing a helmet can be the difference between the trip to an ER to be checked out, or having someone feed and change your diaper for the rest of your life. The thinnest part of your skull is the sides. Also, wear clip in cycle shoes (not Croc's) to prevent leg suck. Many trike riders I encounter and chat with mention not wearing them in the beginning and then experiencing this very painful phenomenon. I use a very bright white light on flashing even during very sunny days. This was after spotting an intense flashing light approaching me from the opposite direction. I realized that I saw this light from several blocks away and it wasn't until it was about a hundred yards away that I could see it was a Trike. But all in all...very good tips. I shift between a road bike, gravel bike, and my Trike. Depending on mine and my body's moods. Getting a trike rack for your vehicle also opens you up to getting out onto trails without riding on streets to build confidence.
very well done providing tips for a better and safer ride, thanks!
thank you!
Hi!!
A super video, as always,with many advices!!!!
Have a fine continuation and see you.
😉👍👍👍👌
Nice informative vlog 👍 👌 👏
still wishing to see an in depth on the bafang ultra
One of the greatest differences with trikes is braking. It might be a good idea to cover that aspect of trike handling.
Additionally, the under-seat "direct steering" shown IS vibration passing.
Under-seat indirect steering hugely isolates rider's hands and arms from riding vibration.
The lessened vibration of indirect steering is not minor!
Envision Vertical upper arms, and Horizontal forearms, with Push/Pull Steering.
Need to know how and when to change gears with eassist
Great video. Thanks.
Part of being safe is finding the recumbent trike that is right for you.
I am 6’4” tall and 300lbs. I don’t know much about recumbent trikes but from the research I’ve done, it seems that the Ice Adventure HD or the Greenspeed Magnum XL would be the best choices for me. I am not sure the Ice would handle my weight if I carry gear to go touring.
What would you recommend?
We agree that finding the right trike for you is a key part of being safe. Our recommendation would be the Catrike Max! Check out our Max video here: czcams.com/video/7dA4s--ZrmM/video.htmlfeature=shared
@@UtahTrikesOnline Thanks for responding. I think the Cattrikes have direct steering. I would much prefer indirect steering.
Do any trikes come with 30 mm id rims??? Why don't any trike tilt like AR-3???
👍👍
👍🙏
To summarise: practise, set-up trike, be visible
😃
Huge Beginner Tip:
No "tadpole disassembly" needed for ANY flat tire on a Delta Planform Trike!
What do people use to transport their trikes?
We've had people use a mix of pickup trucks, suvs, trailers, and hitch racks
@@UtahTrikesOnline do you guys sell any easy to use bike racks for trikes? You guys should make a video on them
Good video but you missed two vital safety tips. One, install clipless pedals and wear clipless shoes, or alternatively, install Power Grips pedals. And understand why. Two, install or wear a rear view mirror on your helmet (which you must also have), and understand why. Without adhering to these safety tips, you are very likely going to get hurt.
Kind of like a bicycle designed for T-Rex

I wouldn't wear a hat indoors, will make you go bald.
😂
I look at that toque and think that it is something holding the blond hair wig in place.
I don't think I'll bike if I get the point of needing a recumbent, first off the weight and the bending down. The pressure on knees getting up and down .. nope
Instead of focusing on the trikes, and the demonstration of steering mechanisms what we get is a young guy hogging the screen demonstrating narcissism.
Sorry couldn't watch... there recumbent trikes... Not tricycles
Nothing about up right trikes.
I like recumbent trike idea but they are too low to been by inattentive drivers.
