TerraTrike no longer makes recumbent trikes with indirect steering like the Cruiser or Tour models.
If you are interested in a trike with indirect steering take a look at the HP Velo Gekko or Ice Adventure
The WizWheelz Cruiser is the most economical TerraTrike with a good gear range for hills. They kept it ~$500 less expensive than the Tour by using less expensive components but the same frame-seat-handlebar setup.

The Shimano Altus derailleurs and Gripshift shifters work well, though I personally prefer the Tour’s Bar-Con shift levers. Many riders find twist grips on a USS recumbent are awkward and some find them a strain. Designed for a mountain bike where you twist them with your index and middle fingers, they are a bit stiff to work with your pinky and ring fingers, like you do with them set up on USS handlebars.
The Disk brake calipers on the Cruiser are difficult to adjust; you fiddle with them trying to eliminate mushy feel and constant drag. When carefully adjusted they work pretty well.
Overall the Cruiser rides well and is a very good value.
