eBay recumbent trike: thoughts needed please

[mrandmrspoves]

In the meantime something like this off Amazon may be worth you carrying. Certainly baled me out a couple of times year before last. I would only regard it as a get you home solution......but on a cold Winter's day not having to repair at the roadside was a blessing.

Kevin has just emailed me to say the trike is built.

now it just has to get from Little Thetford to me....

I can start to get a little excited now. I may soon be able to get more than 500m from my house!

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

Kevin has confirmed that he is personally delivering the trike to me on Wednesday...
Lets hope the weather is OK.

He wants to set the bike up for me and get me going so to speak!
But I know what you mean. I was surprised as well!

A nice day out of the shop for him, fuel through the books plus great PR for the company (cos you'll be telling everyone who asks about the trike, not just us on here). Win, Win, Win all round.
Good customer service from him though

I've read reports that Kevin is often 'unavailable' for a few days at a time - well, here's the answer - top-rate customer service !

This is fab news, @SatNavSaysStraightOn !! He sounds like a top bloke, I was thinking of buying a bent from him later in the year myself. By the sounds of it I had better let him know when I'm thinking of coming!

General jubilation for you!

 

[andytheflyer]

You'll have to post some pics - would not want to ride past you and not recognize the trike!

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

It has arrived!

A ride will happen this afternoon along with some photos, but right now I am needing to lie down again and let my back ease a touch...

Also to whomever it was, please read this...

Couldn't you just fall asleep in it?

Couldn't you just fall asleep in it?

Eventually perhaps but there is a lot of setting up and tweaking to be done, not to mention the need for me to learn to sit in it with my back. I honestly don't know how long I will be able to sit in it at first so there is a lot of learning to be done, bit even if I can only manage 10 minutes at the current reclined angle, that should get me more than 400m from home which is all I can walk at the moment. Lots of learning to be done!

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

Right, I'm off out to try it on a maiden, but probably very short first journey!

 

[Ganymede]

This is so exciting!! Looking forward to hearing about your maiden voyage. I'm sure it will not be totally without problems but that's what tweaks are for!
