I'd also be very wary of riding that trike with those pedals on it, some form of foot retention system is needed to prevent your foot slipping off and you then running over your leg. Either a heel-strap or cleats.
Rohloff and a triple chainring! You must have a gear for everything and some to spare, an absolute luxury set up.I utilised my existing treat wheel with rohloff hub. The derailleur is there simply for chain tension as a result of the front derailleur and triple chain ring.
I already had the rohloff hub off my off road touring bike. Plus I got the trike after being left partially paralysed when a disc failed in my back and the nhs failed to react in time because I was the wrong age etc...Rohloff and a triple chainring!

Someone also said the chain tubes were missing, they aren't. The trike is now home but my permanent van garage failed on it's first trip, (pneumatic rear suspension) so they've loaned me a Kangoo which only fits the Ice in folded. The only thing I can confirm is the chain tubes are there, Sturmey Archer front brakes with the actuating levers facing inwards. If it doesn't rain tomorrow I'll have a photo session.
Not my pictures & seller admitted they were original pics from when he bought it, I think the full tubes are there according to the manual, will confirm when I can get it out of the van.Chain Tubes ???
You may not have the full set ....at the rear you should find two flexi rubber tubes approx 4" long top and bottom
Just in the folding hinge zone
From the rubber tube links a final pair of hard nylon tubes run rearwards to protect the rear stays towards the rear mech and cogs
Perhaps a picture showing the full driven side will reveal whats what .
SA facing inwards >>> the lever arms always face inwards except your picture shows them upside down which is quite wrong
But can be sorted in 4 mins and using two allen keys .....no doubt your trike expert will know exactly what to do
Despite a wet & windy Sunday morning, I couldn't wait to try the trike, mainly to justify the expense & commitment to triking. We moved the loan van to a more suitable spot on our car park, laid a spare boot floor rubber mat down (ex Picasso), put the van ramp down & carried out the folded Ice Adventure & placed it on the mat. Unfortunately the previous owner had ravaged the hubs on the front wheels with his single handed assembly on tarmac. I then set the handle bars & positioned the seat to what I remembered reading in the assembly instructions. A quick photo session which will probably answer the queries posed by others, then off I set up our car park with my wife on the camera. Unfortunately, the first two video attempts were with the wrong setting on the camera, then, third time does it, which is shown at the beginning of the attached AV, which incidentally is on Vimeo as my last Youtube upload was such poor quality.

What is wrong with the pedals?So checklist
Proper pedals or pre book a seat at A & E
Add the missing chain tube at the rear or simply ignore and risk sawing through the rear frame whilst riding or during folding
Attend to the SA brakes before you venture onto public roads or claim everybody else is completely wrong
Find some mudguards or close your mouth on corners in the rain
So ensure the trike is safety checked by an expert and then you enjoy your cycling ADVENTURES !![]()
What is wrong with the pedals? apart from no toe clips? I assume the missing chain tube is historic & didn't notice any contact with the frame during my trial. Check my post post re chain length adjuster. I've already said mudguards are at the top of my wish list, but I won't be paying Ice prices. Local bike shop tomorrow. SA brakes need more inspection, which will be done before any serious triking. Is there anything you do like or is it sour grapes that I didn't buy from you?So checklist

Will check that with the assembly manual, rain stopped play!!!At front end the cable run is wrong
The guide noodle should pass through the boom tube lower or bottom side then exit via the top hole
Otherwise choose to ignore and you will have poor shifting and the gear cable will wear and fail sooner or later![]()
