Near Taichung Taiwan is the Performer factory. They produce innovative and custom trikes and bikes for clients all over the world. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner and his crew, and take an in depth look at how he makes his creations from start to finish. Afterwards we grab an amazing lunch at a local Taiwanese restaurant.

@georgea4500 6 лет назад

Brian,,, I ride one around town and I hope that with more off them on the road the bike lanes will accommodate some extra room for trikes and not just bikes, though, I do mostly fit inside them.

Fantastic Visit to the Manufacture of the bike I ride. I have to tell you Mat, you have some great skills in interviewing people. You remind me of Huell Howser, a guy that interviewed people up and down California back-in-the-day. But just wanted to say, VERY NICE JOB, and you even went out to eat with the Boss,, very unexpected! JaYoe!!!!

@onetootre 6 лет назад

Great episode. If I was a recumbent rider, I would definitely get one from his company. Everyone seems happy to be working there, and the owner is so proud of his factory and quality of his product. Jayoe!!!

@dmcc2400 6 лет назад

First off I want to say, sorry Matt. I started spot skipping the video and the spots I had skipped to were so cool I had to go back to the beginning and completely watch the video. I am glad I did. The video was awesome and the people were inspiring. It made me want to buy a bike from them. I always enjoy when you come across some wonderful people and the way they put things together. I am like you in taking things apart, but my world was taking technology apart. Thanks, again.

@Loverboy_Bernice1977 2 года назад

@georgea4500 6 лет назад

Hi Tony,,,, I too ride a jc70 and love everything about them.... I was worried at first if it could handle my weight on the road, but it did great! I have lost about 20 pounds and hope to keep riding it for a very long time. I use it for just about every short trip from my house that I can think of. Love to park right to the door of the store and not have to worry about parking or GAS!!!

@c.spencer2338 6 лет назад

My old Performer trike was made here! Great trike for the price! I think I saw my current Cargo bike Frame (Larry Vs. Harry)? It looks simular to the reise and mueller cargo bike frame.

@tommieholton2824 6 лет назад

Very interesting video. When I was looking for my trike, Performer was in my last two choices. I bought a Catrike and love it. The main reason I didn't go with Performer was the proprietary parts can be difficult to get in the USA. I love the look and from the research I did, quality was very good also. Catrike is made in Orlando, Florida and the factory is on the small side like Performer. Maybe when you finally get here, you can look them up also. The owner has an interesting story. He moved here from, I think Brazil, to open his factory and make recumbents.

@FloridaManPat 6 лет назад

One day I shall have one ...

@timothywcain 6 лет назад

Great video Matt! I have a HP Scorpion FS26 too and a Catrike, but there is nothing in the trike market that even comes close to the value of Performer, they are well made, but literally half the price of the competition. It's cool to see they are nice people too.

@kevinhornbuckle 6 лет назад

Thank you for the info.

@georgea4500 6 лет назад

You know Timothy, I sometimes wonder when I will be ridding an HP trike. I had to buy something to get started last year and I settled for the best prize on the market and it was a Performer. Loved the designed and it had everything I needed. Now after riding this bike for over 900 miles I don't think I ever be riding anything else. Totally love riding my Performer!

@kevinhornbuckle 6 лет назад

+GEORGE A What model did you buy?

@georgea4500 6 лет назад

I purchased a jc-26 X 27 speed and I paid $1635 from Upzy. I recommend them because everyone else wanted to charge me shipping that was in the hundreds and Upzy did not charge me anything for shipping!

@tvman54 2 года назад

@@georgea4500 wow the prices have really jumped. I just ordered the same trike except it folds for 2600. I also bought it from Upzy. Free shipping no sales tax and I caught their 5% off Spring sale.

I don’t remember subbing to you but good stuff. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

@idarborlaug 6 лет назад

Would be great to have a review of the performer trikes. Prices were interesting compared to hp and ice trikes.

@rogerunderhill4267 5 лет назад

I took my first ever ride on a recumbent there about 4 years ago. Lovely people for sure and great bikes. At the time they weren’t making the design I wanted but they’re almost there now. They now have a folding front wheel drive highracer. It looks fantastic. I was hoping for titanium but I don’t think that’s suitable for a folder however a fwd titanium would make me open my wallet. Damn I think I’m going to buy it anyway... ;)

The standard two wheel market in Asia is way over-saturated, it's understandable that their biggest market is trikes and custom units. Wish I could afford to order one from them!... ;P

@suecc1234 6 лет назад

Loving your factory visits Matt. George was a sweetie, very proud & enthusiastic about his bikes & trikes. Seemed like a very nice man to work for, happy staff make happy bikes & trikes. Finally, the plant you were eating looked like Aloe vera, or was it a cactus after all? JY.

@JaYoeNation 6 лет назад

it was stone lotus...

@suecc1234 6 лет назад

Can buy it as a potted house plant here in UK so pricey way to try it, you did make it seem really, really tasty though Matt. Might start grazing round the plant centres!

@Pushyhog 5 лет назад

Tell us the man who started/founded performer and what nation heis from. I have riden one, incredible ride. If i was buying it would be Performer.

@bobcatt2294 Год назад

Are they now powder coating?

@SolarizeYourLife Год назад

Do they have any suspension???

@JaYoeNation Год назад

they had some rear suspension models...not sure today.. i know they were intending to develop a full suspension trike

hey matt i like that video but i think i pass on that stuff Ja Yoe matt

@bobcatt2294 Год назад

Unfortunately there is no full suspension.

@ravenone6255 6 лет назад

Have you looked at Cattrike made in America brand. I'm wondering what make one trike better than another

@timothywcain 6 лет назад

I have an HP, a Catrike and a Terratrike. The Terratrike is cheaper but decent, the HP and Catrike are both really great rides. I'm helping a couple friends pick out their trikes and I recommended Performer to both of them; when you look at value - quality and price together, they stomp everybody out there.

@ravenone6255 6 лет назад

Timothy Cain here's what this guy at a trike shop told me about performer. It's made in China, not quality trike, and it's hard to gets parts to it and that's why they don't sell it at their shop. They use to ten years ago he also added Made in China?

@timothywcain 6 лет назад

There are not too many distributors in the USA and he's not one of them. Go ask a Ford dealer about Chevy, do you think they are going to push something they don't sell? Finally, you saw from the video they are made in Taiwan (province of China yes, but not like the mainland). Other than Catrike, I can pretty much guarantee you most of the trike framesets he sells come from Taiwan, so that argument is weak. Do some more research and you will see they are well regarded by people who have bought them, or don't, lol, I don't get a commission.

@jazzybluesyyoo6914 6 лет назад

Even saxophone made in Taiwan is pretty dominant in their category since weatern manufacturers are no more making them .especially Usa saxophone manufacturers have set its products set in Taiwan and China. tought them from the beginning to end on the how to make the saxophone to be purchasable value so on so far.the saxophone named "Cannonball"used to be made in usa is now made in Taiwan . it is really high end saxophone. you might know that Matt .

@jazzybluesyyoo6914 6 лет назад

@Leopold the sound quality in both sax is so different. i much prefer the Cannonball though

@kayssdavlatov8519 2 года назад

how much does a trike cost

@JaYoeNation 2 года назад

Depends. There is a wide range. 1500 - 10,000 usd.

@whitepawrolls 5 лет назад

Well got my bike (a Goal 20/26) and have to say if I had bought this locally I probably would have returned it. First its VERY heavy for it being aluminum. Then the front tire rubs on the fork its so tight. Its like they swapped tires without checking clearances. I went back and forth with their rep trying to get it fixed, but finally gave up, and bought a different fork. Then the steer tube was so long that even if I pulled it all the way back to me it was at eye level on my short bar setup. Ended up getting an adjustable from Bacchetta along with one of their aluminum forks. Top it all off they even sent me the wrong color. Have to say after all the good reviews I saw I can't beleve they dropped the ball like this. Oh well..

@JaYoeNation 5 лет назад

oooh no! im sorry you had such a bad experience...

@darquesand 5 лет назад

@TheFlamingEyeball 6 лет назад

Great vid again. It's so cool that you get to go to these places. I actually got to ride a Performer low racer about 3 weeks ago: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UfYAtQRR414.html. It has me considering buying one! Although I love my Catrike 700 and Quest velomobile.

@JaYoeNation 6 лет назад

@TheFlamingEyeball 6 лет назад

the JaYoe Nation try now, looks like the ")" was the problem. JaYoe!

@waynesbutler7834 6 лет назад

I agree with your love of the Catrike brand . I have the 700 and the Pocket . Most of the components are made here but the rest of their trikes are proudly USA made and have won awards because of it . Your choice of Velos is good too.

@TheFlamingEyeball 6 лет назад

I had catrike 700, much rather have the performer trike. I have riden one.

@carlchristensen584 4 года назад

@jeff61177 6 лет назад

@JaYoeNation 6 лет назад

Hahahah. Naw. I’m an HP guy... for now

@jansoderman8550 6 лет назад

ICE Vtx+....the top of line

@timothywcain 6 лет назад

It's a great trike, but it's built for speed, I would not say it's top of the line for a world tour.

@georgea4500 6 лет назад

I agree with Timothy. If you are taking on a few small long trips a month and a bunch of around the neighborhood trips, the Performer will not disappoint. I llove the seat because it molds nicely to your back and gives you the support you need on a ride. I believe its the FRP for Fiberglass Reinforced Polymer.

@timothywcain 6 лет назад

I was referring to the ICE VTX+, it's not really a touring trike. I think properly spec'ed out the Performer JC26 XT would be a good touring machine.

@ceeme03 6 лет назад

@yosemitesioux 5 лет назад

Received a Performer trike 4 weeks ago. Still haven't got it on the road yet. A bad weld on the frame, problems with the tie rods, and now a defective front derailleur have set me back. The company faces behind the scenes - Christine and Vanessa - aren't as warm and friendly as George in this video. Awful customer service. No wonder they need dealers as a buffer to their incompetence.

@andrewc0128 5 лет назад

6:55 He is welding titanium without using argon? IS HE OUT OF HIS FUCKING MIND? I'd immediately cancel my order on that bike if I saw this video.
