Greenspeed Magnum and BW

The Greenspeed Magnum and Magnum BW are trikes designed by Ian Simms, founder of GreenSpeed.  He designed these trikes after visiting a few US trike dealers, including Bicycle Man LLC.  The Magnums reflect what he learned from his visit. He found the American market likes higher, wider seats. The Magnum seats are 16” wide and Read More…

HP Velotechnik Gekko FX

We have carried the Gekko fx 20 and Gekko fx 26 for years now and have been too busy selling them to do a review! Here is a long-term review of the many good things and a few not so good things that have come up over the years. If you came in and said, Read More…

Azub T-Tris

When I first saw the Azub T-Tris I thought it looked like a HP Velotechnik clone. Certainly not a bad thing to resemble but nothing eye catching. It just didn’t stand out to me so I kind of ignored it. In the fall of 2013, Honza Galla of Azub stopped by the shop and got Read More…

Catrike Eola

In 2019 Catrike introduced their most economical recumbent trike, the Eola. In 2021 they discontinued it. Much like their earlier Trail design the Eola is a tadpole trike with a simplified version of Catrike’s space frame and 20-inch wheels all around. This helps them keep the price and weight down. The frame is very light Read More…

Catrike Villager Recumbent Trike

“Villager” is a good name for this affordable, versatile Catrike. Urban/suburban riders will find its higher seat, upright seat back and tall ground clearance handy in traffic. The Villager’s 12.5” seat height makes it one of the highest tadpole trikes on the market, right up there with the Ice “Adventure” and ideal for riders looking for a casual fitness or adaptive trike.

HP Velotechnik Gekko and Gekko FX

The HP Velotechnik Gekko fx is the Honda Civic of tadpole trikes.  There are undoubtedly better and much more expensive machines but this is good enough for most of us. The Gekko line falls in the medium seat height class of 13″ high.  That, combined with the “V” shaped cross members and extra long seat Read More…

Catrike Trail Recumbent Trike

The Trail is a Catrike built for riders on a budget. It brings Catrike back to the price point they started at in 2000, considerably lower once you factor in inflation. Like all Catrikes the Trail is still made in the US. Read More…

Terratrike Rambler

One of the hardest things to do when writing a recumbent trike review is limit what you are comparing the trike to.  It wouldn’t be fair to complain that an under $1800 trike doesn’t work as well as a trike costing $3000.  Which brings me to the Terratrike Rambler. The Rambler is a great trike Read More…

Ice Sprint Recumbent Trike

The Ice Sprint was the answer for riders who wanted to go a little faster but not be as reclined as the Vortex. The Sprint is available with 20 or 26 inch rear wheels and can be rigid, suspension on the rear wheel or suspension on all three wheels. Read More…
