I appreciate your video! Which is your preference… On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rank the: Catrike 559 Ecat Terratrike EVO. Also, do you find clips are being over promoted by dealers, for safety? I’ve never used them on a two wheel bike, but dealers are pushing them aggressively for trikes. I understand the risk, but have you personally experienced a need for them?
After riding this one terratrike I would not recommend. Other models may be better. If a 559 is a contender for you I would rate it high. Pedals I started with slings. Then moved to clips. Now I ride platforms. My feet feel better with these. I’ve not felt unsafe .
Which do you think is a better recumbent trike, the Catrike 559 (designed and produces in the U.S) or the HPV Gekko Comfort (designed in Germany and produces in Taiwan). Thanks so much!
I have a friend with a gecko. I don’t think the gecko folds but could be wrong. The Catrike has direct steering. I do like the Catrike 559 but haven’t reviewed the gecko. I wouldn’t be giving you the proper advice. If you can try both at a shop do so. My shop does not carry hp. I think they should
@TrikeWithMikeTX I think either the fx's or the fs' s could be folded. I am planning to go and test ride them. The 559 is $3,750, and the Gekko fx's sport or comfort is around 4K (both without a motor or suspension). Thank you for your comment!
@@stevennguyen4613 both those are close enough in price that i wouldnt consider the price when buying. This is an investment in yourself. which one feels better for you during a ride. Try to take them on a 5 or mor mile test ride if they let you. test fit in your vehicle also.
@TrikeWithMikeTX One with direct steering and the other with indirect. Hopefully, the shop will allow for a longer test rides. Thank you for the useful suggestions.
