If getting in and out is a bit of a hassle that handles are needed, you might consider a Greenspeed Magnum- the seat being adjustable for angle and height makes for a very easy trike to enter/exit. My big wheel model makes no seat noises after 1500km use. I'm 54 and 117kg, no disabilities so have no issue standing unassisted from the lowest seat height. It can go 100mm (4") higher for those who need it. Solid trike with 160kg rider limit, so tough for loading up touring. I too fitted a basket on the rack- a chest freezer basket and zip tied a rabobank sports bag in it for shopping and to keep my phone secure, not to mention tools and spare batteries etc.
We both use the handles to attach things to, plus I use them to get on and off the bike because of my arthritis. Good for you for fitting the basket on it!
These seam to work the best for Laurie try a bunch of options. The aggressive MB pedals tend to hold feet firmly in place and she hasn't had any issues with her feet slipping off. She is not a aggressive ride .
It's nice that the orientation of the controls keeps the cables away from the riders legs. I love my terratrike, but the brake and shifter cables face in and brush my legs sometimes.
@@lauriedevere4920 the cables are not too bad, but the hydraulic lines on my second one are right in there, one has actually kinked from hitting a leg, not sure who's.
I have the same Smokey Mountain bags in black. They are awesome. I ride a Catrike 569 (Orange) and route the straps behind the seat back cushion. Her pedals are nice but she really needs some kind of retention. My wife had TerraTrike heel retention straps on her pedals. Leg suck will not be pleasant should it happens. Nice overall setup. Where do the stand assist bars attach?

Nicely kitted out. I noticed no foot retention on the pedals. Should have something to prevent foot from slipping off.

@@OldFogeyLifeYour foot only has to slip off the pedal once to seriosly damage a leg/ankle/foot. Believe me, I was a paramedic!
This looks fun! Drowning in dead,one but will watch soon.
Lol that should say deadlines. Can’t type either.

We've done a Q & A which answers a lot of questions people have had

I'm glad that mine don't brush my legs. That would have put my off from buying it

We will make a video addressing this issue, because we've had questions about it, and also showing you where the stand assist bars are attached.
We did a Q & A which answers this question, among others. I'm sorry, I didn't mention the bags. I forgot, I'm sorry.
Do you know if the Catrike trail comes with 26 inch wheels
You can get a hold of Catrikes and ask them. I do believe they provide 26 inch wheels
could you show me how to add your air horn? also where did you get the peddles thanks this was a great video.
Okay. We are making a reply video this afternoon, so we'll address yours there, okay?
We did a Q & A which answers both of these.
