- Taking my ICE Full Fat Trike (I call my 'Orange Monster Trike') off road for the first time. It was a lot of fun.
My movements may seem a little strange. That's because I have Cerebral Palsy - a neuro-muscular condition that affects movement. But it certainly hasn't affected my sense of adventure. That's why this trike is so great - it lets me get out into these places I wouldn't otherwise get into. - Sport
You look like you are 💃 to the 🎶 while 🚵! Too cool!
Thanks for sharing! My son has CP as well and I'm having a hard time finding an all terrain trike for him. He's only 6 but loves to ride his road trike. Wish a company would produce off road trikes for youth. Enjoy your trike and keep riding!!
Amazing so happy to see you out having a blast on that awesome trike.
That is a great, doing more than most people without a disability. good on you.
Woo, some pretty good riding.😀
So happy that you found this and it got you outside in nature and having an adventure!
I'm happy that you found a way to enjoy and have an adventure. Keep on cycling.
This ride sure was a great challenge 👏👏👏 this country look's similar to Australia in some parts. I'm partial to horse riding in this kind of country, but these bikes really track along speedily. ✔️✔️✔️👍💞🇦🇺
Fantastic video, sir!!!
Outstanding! Great video.
Very very cool video thank you for taking the time to produce and put up online, keep the adventures coming :-)
Jason you totally killed that trail! Way to go!
I love my Full Fat!! Great bike here in Alaska!
Amazing ride Jason I could not do that ride for stamina reasons but I would sure like to get a trike like that to try seems like I might get at least a lot better ride then on anything else, and go farther !!! cool video.
Great to see you having your adventure out there !!!
Ed
I am in awe of you, sir! Thank you so much for this video, it is easy to see you were having monster fun!
My condition keeps me unbalanced, and I run out of energy without warning. I really miss bike riding, and am so excited to have found the fat tad with electric assist. I am saving my pennies! :-)
Did you save your pennies and manage to purchase your monster bike, would be a great investment 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍💞🇦🇺
i rode a fat trike and with a fat trailer, no motor, for 10.000 km on a journey trrough Europe and Africa. And now I will try to go overland to Australia.
Looks like some good fun
😆 The thing that separates the men from the boys is the cost of their toys! Looking to buy one soon.
lovely brother handycap * I plan to buy also a FAT trike but I am not sure whicht I shall buy * now when I see you driving like a boy with no handycap your happines encureged me that I can do the same with mit both handycaped legs * thank you so much for this video * JESUS bless you and your MA * we will alwys be IN TIME * shabbat shalom joseph
FINALLY!! a video of a trike ride that is tolerable to watch. Almost every other video out there is Merde.
Congratulations!
Good job, man! Enjoy life.
That's awesome...
BADASS!!!
good on you!!!!! just be carefull when your makind those tight turns. with those front wheels of yours. your axle could snap( experiened it before). i suggest staying with thick 20 inch or even 16 inch. i personally use bmx tires
You fucking rock, dude. I teach scuba and grappling and it's great to see other sports get more adaptive.
That is awesome.
I would hate to be unable to ride my bike and its awesome that there are trikes with this kind of capability.
Would be even better with an electric assist to compensate for the weight of the trike.
Looked like fun.
I have the motor. I just need to have it fitted. I have another trike project going at the moment.
Nice! :)
They have a front-wheel drive kit you can buy for that and have it installed at Utah trikes
i ´d miss Fenders
cool!
What speed can you go with those
brillant i got to get one
I’d ask if they make a power assist electric motor.... but I’m not sure if the battery or the engine would be able to stand the harsh bumpy off road Terrain that trikes fat tires are aloud to cover, much less if they decide to make a velomobile shell for it as well, as they would need to make it high above the ground for that to be possible, like the Velayo Velomobile?
Hi Thomas. Since this video I’ve had a Bafang BBS002 fitted to the trike. I’ve done just over 1,000km with the motor, and I’m very impressed with the setup. Rough tracks aren’t a problem, and after some teething problems its been 100% reliable. The fat tyres and suspension provide ample protection on most tracks.
On 02.12 minutes. There is a trick to get you moving again: push with your hands on the front wheel forward. Of course you still need to pedal.
does this trike have pedal assist or is he doing it all on own? where does get a trike like this?
At the time of the video, the trike did not have peddle assist. However, I am having an electric motor fitted to it which has turned into quite a task. The trike is a FullFat which is available from www.icetrikes.co in the UK.
wow I would never call you disabled, so cool you can get out and do this and have fun and a sense of independence. Iwonder if it is possible to get one of these with pedal assist to getup those steep grades and allow youto go farther forlonger. you have some good friends there too.
I'm just on the verge of ordering a Bafaang 750w system with a 48v20ah battery to go on the Monster.
cool, why did you pick that particular motor? just curious, I have very little knowledge of these things.
Hi. Sorry for the delay in reply! Distractions.
First choice was to go for a mid-drive or a hub motor. The mid-drive would fair better as it's attached to the frame, so it gets the benefit of suspension. Initially I wanted the BBS-HD (1000w), but the concern has been to gear the trike down. The smallest chainring Bafang is a 42t. My biggest chainring is 40t, and I can comfortably peddle past 50km/h. 42t would not be small enough for off-road use. A 3rd party chainring adapter is available for the BBS-002 which can take a 32t chainring. This is much more appropriate for off-road. I should still be able to have my 40t chainring.
I also like the idea of having the motor work though the gears. You can get the extra torque you need by changing to a lower gear, and not ramp up power. The negative is you may wear out your drivetrain quicker! But I like the idea of the motor working in tandem with you.
You can also map the controller the way you want. Just make sure your know what you're doing, and don't tell the retailer!
Why 750w? Because 250w was only $100 cheaper. When spending this kind of money, why wouldn't you buy the more powerful motor? There's really no penalty for having a more powerful motor. Just keep it at a low setting, and it'll go all day. If for whatever unforeseen reason you need the full beans, its there!
28v20ah? Because I want to go all day.
I hope this helps you.
What model tire is that on the bike?
At the time of filming, all 3 tires were Maxxis Marathons. I Now have a VeeRubber Snowshoe XL on the rear.
Excellent video and soundtrack, Jason - really enjoyed it. If you go to 3wheelsgood page on fb there are some pics of mine hanging around on Bodmin moor. :)
+3wheelsgood Yep, saw those pics on the ICE Trikes page. Well done.
Can you make another video using a drone camera ???
Buenas. Podría enviarme el mail de la empresa? Me interesa adquirir el producto del vídeo. Gracias

if he had 20" wheels he could have aced all the climbs
2:50 it needs a push up hill???!
Wrong choice of tire. I've since put a Snow Shoe XL tire on the rear. Traction is an inherent problem with tadpole recumbents. Very difficult to overcome.
@@cyclingjase What kind of tires did you use for the video?
Мужик с церебральным, но он крут хотя бы поэтому что он крутит.
don't those fat tires slow you down ?
Yes and no. It's very slow to accelerate, and you really do need to work the gears to get any sort of performance out of it. But once it's up and rolling, it keeps rolling! You just need to keep up the cadence then.
What's interesting is I have another recumbent with 20x1.5" tires, and at 22kg, it's 5kg lighter than the Monster, but times over a distance are pretty much identical. No, I do not have an explanation for this...
It depends on the tyre pressure: 0.3 to 0.5 bar off road, 0.6 tot 1.0 bar on the road. With high pressure, they tyre ride just like ordinairy ATB tyres. That's why I carry an air pump.
