Inexpensive recumbent trike
The subject line might be somewhat inaccurate. My son, age 12, has seen
several recumbent trikes when we happened to ride with other recumbent riders. Unfortunately, my search, primarily using the Internet, has not produced one that is within my budget. Is the EZ-3 just about the only trike option at what I consider entry level price? I've checked various sites for used trikes and they would still strain the wallet. Thanks for comments and suggestions. |

Check out 'bentrider online at http://www.bentrideronline.com, and more specifically the "Stop the Presses" section, with an ongoing report from Interbike. It appears that Sun will be producing a recumbent trike that will sell for around $1,000. It's a tadpole design, as opposed to the delta of the EZ-3. -- Larry Varney Cold Spring, KY http://home.fuse.net/larryvarney |

There is a front drive and front steer recumbent 'trike' that is popular
with his age group on our beaches here in South Carolina. "Freddie Wall" wrote in message ... The subject line might be somewhat inaccurate.

"Jeff Wills" skrev Try: http://www.trailmate.com/funCycleSeries.cfm I'll second that one. We had a few demomodels of a similar type at the danish championships and it was quite fun to see all the riders hop on these kids trikes and tear around the parkinglot with a big grin on their faces. Kids loved them too. Mikael |

Thanks for all the suggestions. Since my son appears to becoming involved
with BMX more so that road riding, I think I shall contact the KMX Karts. The other two suggestions, Trailmate and Sun Cycles, look good as well. One of the two recumbents we own is the EZ1. I know it is considered a beginner's recumbent but we have been pleased with it and the BikeE CT. Once again, thanks to all for such quick responses. Mikael Seierup wrote in message ...

There's also the Tricruiser:
http://www.americruiser.com/ The original model, at $799, has (in my opinion) an inadequate brake. However, there is now an option for front disks, which would remove that objection. Perhaps it's not really suitable for a kid, I don't know, but it is the least expensive full-sized tadpole trike that I am aware of (kmx carts seem built for kids).
