Why do I always have to like the MOST expensive one???? 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️. That seat alone had me sold! Lol 😂

@RideandShineBicycling 10 месяцев назад

Yes, so comfy and foldable, but I little heavy for me.

@chrisdoutre101 10 месяцев назад

Excellent video. That explanation was crystal clear. One feature that I noticed on the Scorpion is that it appears to include a "chain gobbler". That means that the boom length can be adjusted quite a bit without having to add or remove chain links. I have a non-electric Catrike Villager ($3000) and I really love it, but it's really a one-person trike. If you have to adjust the boom length more than an inch or so, you have to add or remove chain links. I believe it's possible to add an after-market "chain gobbler" to some trikes.

@RideandShineBicycling 10 месяцев назад

Wow! Thanks. You have a keen eye. I don't know much about adjusting a boom length. Sounds like we should do a video.

@PhyllisBoone-sn8oi 9 месяцев назад

I noted the Terra Trike EVO also had a chain gobbler installed.

@markfeldman6509 Месяц назад

Catrike has a chain tensioner available for around 150 that can be added to,any of its models to allow or boom adjustment and rider height without having to mess with chain alteration. Check it out on their website.

@kurtp5379 9 месяцев назад

I bought an EVO in March and am enjoying it. I don't see myself ever upgrading to a 12 thousand dollar model though.

@RideandShineBicycling 9 месяцев назад

Yes, but it is fun to think about it. 😄 Thanks for your comment.

@MikeBrown-dk7or 2 месяца назад

Even at 5K, they are out of reach for most people. That includes me. A step thru e-bike with a Bosch motor is 2.5K which also seems too expensive. But it's battery probably won't blow up.

@RideandShineBicycling 2 месяца назад

Yeah, those e-bikes can be seriously expensive, but safety first, right? Maybe we'll find a good deal one day!

@Hansaman58 10 месяцев назад

Great bike shop too!

@RideandShineBicycling 10 месяцев назад

We think so too!

@gregsettle9725 10 месяцев назад

If you compare high-end trikes with other forms of outdoor recreation such as a Jet Ski you'll discover the expensive trike is about on par with midrange Jet Skis' according to my research. The trike, however, is generally speaking rideable year-round and provides a greater degree of exercise, in my opinion.

@RideandShineBicycling 10 месяцев назад

Excellent comparison!

@nighthiker8872 3 месяца назад

You could have air ride! that could also, left up the seat.

@RideandShineBicycling 3 месяца назад

Thank you for the suggestion!

@nighthiker8872 3 месяца назад

Test 18-wheeler trucker air ride seat, small tank would work. As in height.

@garyseckel295 10 месяцев назад

My similar high price "Hase" includes 2WD, Rohloff gearbox. Easiest by far, side-saddle on/off! Even if to/from a wheelchair! Run dog offroad, or.., pull a Wee One on snow on bicycle path! Once Rohloff, never again cassette! Most suspension under your torso and any cargo, and NOT under your knees! LOL! Single steer tire best for 95++% of all riders! 25-inch seat height "Hase Lepus" here. Store vertically upright in your house/garage too. "Hase" does offer folding models too.

@RideandShineBicycling 10 месяцев назад

All those great added accessories. I love all the options.

@torinsall 10 месяцев назад

My dream trike is one of the folding Hase electrics ...

@rdkuless 10 месяцев назад

Catrikes do not make good Etrikes.. the frame flexes to much from side to side.. and coming down a hill on a curve that flex can make the catrike unstable (shimmy) making you feel like it could tip.. and the HP also have a tendency to tip/roll. After about 10k miles on two brands of trike: catrike and AZUB.. i would definitely choose the AZUB or ICE trike for E-assist machine.. The frames are very stiff and give you the needed stability on turns and rough roads. I chose the T-tris and added a Bafang BBSHD, and 2 batteries with t-cycle battery mounts. it is the perfect combination.

@RideandShineBicycling 10 месяцев назад

Very interesting. I haven't ridden an AZUB or an ICE trike. Thanks for the information.

@TheLionsDen72 9 месяцев назад

So what Catrike was it that you tried? I'm curious about the flex you are referring too.

@rdkuless 9 месяцев назад

@@TheLionsDen72 I have ridden the Pocket, and 700.. i owned a Expedition for 2.5 years with many scary descents (around 4k miles)... i now own an AZUB T-Tris and love the stiff/stable frame.. I had BBS02 on the Expedition ... i now have the BBSHD on the AZUB... I enjoy both, and feel more stable on the AZUB. Better frame.

@TheLionsDen72 9 месяцев назад

I have an Exped as well. A 2017. I have hit speeds of just under 50mph on a few downhills, not any issues. I have taken some c9rners at high speeds also and no issues with the frame. I have found that the wheel tends to potatochip at high speed cornering. They seem to be much stiffer now since they have changed to thru axles on the big wheel models.

@rdkuless 9 месяцев назад

@@TheLionsDen72 I live in pothole portland.. the land of bad pavement.. i experienced really unstable shimmy on descents on steep downhill that require turning.. I took it to the mechanic to have the toe in adjusted, but that didn't work... I do not experience that on the AZUB.... Glad you are having good feeling about the performance.. :). Cheers

@markdonley2397 7 месяцев назад

The owner was very nice and helpful but I had to rewatch the video and pause it to find out what shop he had. A link in the description would be nice for him. Or maybe I missed it?

@RideandShineBicycling 7 месяцев назад

You are right. Tim from Bikes@Vienna has been extremely helpful in creating our videos. www.bikesatvienna.com Thanks for the suggestion.

@mikeb.3917 10 месяцев назад

The Brompton of trikes!

@RideandShineBicycling 10 месяцев назад

Too funny..I wonder if there is a $12,000 Brompton?...maybe with a lot of accessories.😆

@StandForFreedom1776 10 месяцев назад

lol. He is a sales person. IT's easy to compare a YUGO to a Lexus because the differences are so great. I like to see him compare it to say a CATRIKE. For 12K I should by a car. HP is well over priced and the differences do not make up the difference.

@RideandShineBicycling 10 месяцев назад

I think it really depends on your needs. It is certainly pricey. But the HP has the ability to add accessories for special needs, such as adaptive foot holders, hand rests, or walking stick locks (medical aid accessories for physical rehabilitation and therapy)

@StandForFreedom1776 10 месяцев назад

@@RideandShineBicycling they all can be fitted with everything you said just not straight from the MFG. Aftermarket parts are for every recumbent trike. Don't get me wrong, I would love to own an HP but the cost to manufacture the components vs the amount of profit they make is ridiculous. Catrike and ice both can be fitted with accessories to help disabled people or people like me with back neck and knee issues. Both also have a high sitting seat and if I remember correctly catrike or ice you can pick the style seat you want. With HP you are paying also for shipping and duty tax from Germany.

@RideandShineBicycling 10 месяцев назад

That is good information! But with everything you do pay higher for the convenience. Thanks. @@StandForFreedom1776

@jjwalter5897 3 месяца назад

The number of gears is irrelevant. What are the ratios between the high and low gears?

@RideandShineBicycling 3 месяца назад

That Scorpion Plus e-trike has a gear range of 27 to 83 gear-inches, and the Terratrike has a range of 30 to 98 gear-inches.

@TheLionsDen72 9 месяцев назад

They are comparing apples to oranges here. The HP is an over-engineered trike made in Germany. There is a considerable portion of cost just in tarrifs and shipping it here to the states. Dont get me wrong, it is a nice trike, but so etimes, over-engineered can equal over complicated. Im not a fan of the Terratrike but the fact that it costs less doesnt make it less valuable. Comparing these two against each othere is very misleading. Recumbent trikes at the tier 1, top tier lvl should always be looked at for purpose not necessarily price. Doesnt matt if it cost $120 or $12,000, 8f it doesnt fit you properly, it becomes a big paperweight and a waste of money. As a recumbent rider, I always say to get what feels right to your body. Trike are about comfort and staying active.

@RideandShineBicycling 9 месяцев назад

You are right about looking for a trike that fits and feels right for you. This should be the number 1 concern. But It is fun to know the differences and what you can get for various prices.

@roywilkie9577 21 день назад

I'm waiting for the day that everyone on ebikes & etrikes realizes they're just riding mopeds. maybe then the human powered vehicle will make a comeback.

@RideandShineBicycling 21 день назад

That is an interesting perspective. We totally get what you mean! E-bikes are cool, but nothing beats the classic feel of a good ol’ pedal bike. (At least we think so) 🚴‍♂️
