Sun EZ-3 USX Recumbent Tricycle

 

Sun EZ 3 Recumbent Tricycle

Sun USX Delta Recumbent Tricycle Built for Comfort - Not Speed

 

The EZ-3 USX has the stability, comfort and control of a recumbent trike. It is by far the least expensive (and heaviest at 65 lb) USS trike I know of. Some riders find the under-the-seat steering offers a more relaxing arm position. The USX can be adjusted to fit riders from about 5’ to about 6’3”. Its 21 speeds allow most riders to (slowly) climb most paved hills. Beware the 3 speed recumbent trikes if you ever want to climb hills. The 3 speeds just aren’t enough to get a heavy trike up a hill. Several of our customers just love their USX trikes, but they don’t typically ride over 10-20 miles a day and certainly don’t do races.

The USX, like the EZ-3 AX has a lower seat than the Sun EZ-3, and the rear wheels are cambered giving a low center of gravity to increase stability when cornering. Three 20-inch wheels mean only one size tire and tube so you can get matching replacements easily. Its three-wheel brakes stop this trike well.

The EZ-3 USX isn't for an enthusiast or daredevil, it’s too heavy for the first and the second would tip it over. The EZ-3 USX is for casual riders, perfect for sunny days on the bike path and tooling around the neighborhood running errands while getting in shape.

The USX frame has a hinge in the middle with a spring on it. This feature makes it foldable and gives some suspension.

As a folding trike it is poor, it does not get very small. Tools are required to fold it and it does not fold up small enough to fit into the trunk or back seat of a mid-sized sedan. It is the least foldable of the foldable trikes. Want easy folding? See the Greenspeed GT3 or Trice trikes. They fold better and are much lighter to lift but cost 3 to 4 times as much as the EZ-3 USX.

The USX has suspension, but the suspension does not do much to absorb bumps, especially for taller riders who sit right over the rear wheels. Looking for a suspended (with suspension) trike? Check out the Hase, Lepus or Trice trikes. They have much better suspension and are lighter but cost 3 to 4 times as much.

I have been pretty critical of the Sun USX here, I just want to point out that it is not a performance, suspended (with suspension) folding trike. It is a comfy fun and relaxing trike that is easy to get used to. As I said previously, several of our customers just love their USX trikes, but they don’t typically ride over 10-20 miles a day and certainly don’t do races.
