hi all.
been thinking about getting a tadpole recumbent for a while now.
all the ones that i have looked at up to now have been very very expensive.
most of them are over $3000 AU.
i have found a dealer not too far away from me that has the 2011 Trident Trike Stowaway 2
recumbent for a decent price ($1,7650 AU) and i have a few questions for those that ride recumbents
before i jump in and buy one.
how do they go with bollards that are found on many cycle ways ? including those nasty inverted "U" shaped ones ?
is it possible to convert them to a hydraulic brake system ?
the one i am looking at comes fitted with Avid BB7's.
how would it do with an ezee 550W geared hub electric conversion at a later date ?
i wouldn't be motorising it at first. that will come later down the line.
have never ridden a recumbent, so ill try to organise a test ride before i buy.
thanks in advance.
Jason.
