Catrike recumbent trikes at RBR 

Thanks Paul. I'm looking forward to doing another one as soon as the folding Catrike Trail sees the light of day. Plus, I've lost weight since recording that video, so it'd be nice to have 30 fewer pounds of me on RU-vid. :)

Lol.....I'm 274lbs and hope that getting my fat but back on a trike will get me down to my fighting weight of 195. Sigh

Yes thank you. We've changed the retail model away from a walk-in, retail, stocking shop to limiting to 2 brands and selling online. Take care and be safe. - Rob / RBR

ZiggZagg11 It is definitely NOT current. The challenge is having all the models available at once. I'm surprised Catrike has never done this.

Thanks! Unfortunately, we're phasing out our sales of Catrikes, so I doubt I'll have access to newer models.

what did you get. i got a 700. why is the expedition more versatile. nice trike in isolation, but to look at its like a slightly less sporty looking 700 (its hard to tel them apart at a glance). however given the similarity, i cant see why its more versatile.

The current Pocket has all 20" wheels. But ... you should see if you can get in and out with a trike like the Pocket. It's not as hard as you would think. The seat can't get too high because that would raise your center of gravity and make you more "tippy". If you are primarily non-road riding like paths and "rails-to-trails", there are trikes with all 24" that work well and you are higher but you'll be a bit slower and less sharp turns with speed.

I promise if Catrike sends me a 5.5.9, I'll do a video of it. :) Thanks for the kind words on my work!

I put the CK in CatriKe. And now it's obvious why I don't make a living as a comedian. :(

Utah Trikes sells a pair of extensions that I think will fit the Villager. I put them on my Trail and I like it better with the 26" wheel.

I get that a lot.

Maybe he gets " I didn't know Travis Prebble did stand up" alot too.

Now that would be special. :)

Travis Prebble you should get Louis C.K to come down for a free trike ;)

Daffy Dill the new Catrike 700 (this is an older video) will be close if not better but with 3 wheels there’s one more wheel of ground touch resistance. Two wheel road version recumbents can/are faster.

Absolutely! You'll want to ride in moderation during your recovery (avoid hills, try to keep in lower gearing so you're pushing so hard on the pedals), but there are any number of recumbent trike riders who have continued to do so after knee replacements.

To bring the front lower to the ground for better high speed stability and improved aerodynamics.

So the only reason a rear 700c wheel is desirable is for gearing?! I thought larger wheels meant lower rolling resistance, but it's true that RR doesn't increase with speed like air resistance. The part of a car that contributes most to its Cd is the rear, almost a third of it. So I'm surprised they don't go for a smaller rear wheel with appropriate compensatory gearing. Shouldn't really high gearing be easy? How each part of a car contributes to its total drag may surprise you. According to "Build Your Own Electric Car" by Brant & Leitman, in a typical 1970s car by %: body--rear = 33.3% = Cd 0.14 wheel wells = 21.4% = Cd 0.09 body--under = 14.3% = Cd 0.06 !!!! body--front = 11.9% !!!! = Cd 0.05 projections and indentations = 7.1% = Cd 0.03 engine compartment = 6.0% = Cd 0.025 body--skin friction = 6.0% = Cd 0.025 Total = 100% of a Cd of 0.42

Bryan Baker it is called base drag

Yes, trikes can be electrified by with a third party rear hub motor kit, but by themselves from Catrike, sorry no. Also, this video was made in 2012 so the prices are old. Go to there web site at www.catrike.com/ for their current offerings and prices. - Rob / RBR

Not that I know of. Your best bet is to contact Catrike directly. Maybe they can help. Good luck.

Really?!? That’s what you got out of the video? Then... thank you for your input. BTW - We park them next to our Harleys. :)

id have thought riding a motorbike you'd be too used to being called nuts yourself to ever call anyone else nuts about what they do.

U right buy a motorcycle and play for insurance and plates every year or monthly . Fuck that . Buy cycle ride for free .no payments for insurance. Everything u do there in the u.s .a. it's fucking money.money. Money.

Not as sad as your need to leave that comment. These are most definitely not kid bikes, but if they were, I'd recommend one to match your childish attitude.

not sad! not for kids, for stroke patients like me who can no longer ride 2 wheelers for example, they are great for sight seeing and photography, you are relaxed looking up not staring downward like a 10 speed, try one you will like it i bet

LOL :-) Awesome :-) lol
