Hello all!
I'm interested in getting a Recumbent Trike and was looking at ICE Trikes. Does anyone here own one? Should I be considering any other brands? I'm UK based.
I have a few questions:
Without suspension will it be a rough ride? Is it worth paying extra for?
Are they comfortable from the get go or do they take a while to get used to?
Do they take more power to ride than a DF bike?
Are they really pain free for hundreds of miles?
Should I go for a larger back wheel or the same as the front two?
I'm considering drum brakes due to lower maintenance and weatherproofing, good idea?
Any downsides to a Recumbent in general or a Trike specifically?
Any recommendations on an ICE Trike model? I'm looking at either the Adventure or Sprint but failing to see much of a difference between them.
This would be a huge purchase for me so I don't want to make any mistakes, I gave up cycling on a DF bike a few summers ago due to discomfort. I have a bad back and could never get comfortable - let alone find a saddle that didn't destroy my backside!
Any help appreciated.
