CHEAP TRIKE! AFFORDABLE UPGRADES! - Sunseeker Eco Tad SX and Modified UTCustom Annihilator ECO24

The Eco Tad is a great trike for a lot of reasons. It's durable, it has a high seat and best of all, it's one of the most affordable recumbent trikes on the market. We use it as a platform for our Electro Tad, Eco Quad AND for the UTCustom Annihilator ECO 24. The ECO 24 has bigger wheels and better gearing than the stock Eco Tad and even with all it's upgrades, it's still a reasonably priced trike. It's also a great option for an electric upgrade!

Utah Trikes builds custom recumbent and electric tricycles.

Never understood the pricing of bikes. $3, 000 and you can get a Honda Ruckus or Grom and many other varieties of motorized scooter/motorcycle. So why so much for a pedal bike? I will never get it.

I really like your video’s! One comment, how about giving price points for the base, then the price for the upgrades. I keep wondering how much that finished UT Killer 24 ended up costing. I was ready to buy an HP fx20. Now I’m thinking the higher seat and stability would be better for a 70 year old going on 21.
Why the horizontal bars vs vertical? And what is the difference between direct steering and indirect? How do you shift gears, where are the levers located?
Darn it, I keep changing my mind every time I watch another one of your videos. I’ll never buy one if you keep doing these. Just pick one for me and send it before I’m riding a casket! My birthday is in 12 days. Is it true I get 50% off on your birthday. Just kidding. Great job on these young lady. Your a natural. Thank you.

Thank you. I'm a disabled vet looking into this as an option for me to get outside and lose some weight. My back issues make a regular bike not a great option. Being on a budget makes a trike not realistic. Great video

Bought this for my wife 76th birthday she love riding it

[timwoody]

Hah! Not a pedal powered go kart. I say it’s like riding my recliner. 😁

I would love a folding eco-Tad annihilator! I am a grandma that loves to ride but have had a hip & knee replacement! I need a sturdy bike that is easy to get on and off of and one that folds so I can transport in my Chevy Tahoe. Or.... is there a hitch rack that would hold a three wheeler on the back of my vehicle, then it does not need to fold! I am alone now and need to have a system that is manageable so that I can be independent! What do you advise Kate?

[timothywcain]

Again, I commend you all on all the content you are creating - great job!

[timwoody]

I really liked the demonstration of using and adjusting the trike.

[richardnwilson]

Love your videos Thanks! One constructive criticism which is minor. When you show the bikes rotating They spin too fast to really see anything. It would be a lot better if they spun at about half that speed.

Wow man beautiful trike!!! I'm Nestor from Argentina 👏👏👏👍

I am an Aussie living in Western Australia. We have 1 shop in the whole of the state that handles recumbent trikes. We need some competition here as recumbent trikes have taken off like wildfire. There are NONE AVAILABLE IN THE WHOLE STATE!!! There is 1 second hand trike I’m looking at tomorrow! That’s correct ONE second hand trike. You guys need to have some presence in the state. Cheers. Chris.

Oh yeah 😎. So? A straight frame with NO bends? Looks like front wheels are "Hollowhub"? Interested in maybe 🤔 a Bamboo Frame? DIY? Need front wheel/axle setups maybe use Sun Light Hollowhub wheels 24 inch 🤔 Disc brakes?

As someone with severe osteoarthritis I am going to be buying a recumbent trike and your videos have helped me in my decision. Especially the getting on and off.

[SolarizeYourLife]

I don't understand why you don't just go for a 12 speed cassette....what about dynamo options on the bikes?!? And if you go to a wider tire, having an id 30 mm rims would be awesome...

[dustingaersmith]

Yeah I’m impressed with the big wheels and electric power assist,

[johnsorenson]

Well I am on A budget so all these three wheel four wheel bicycles and electric one's all costs why to much. So I will build my own someway somehow. Because no bank will not give any one A loan for A bicycle.

[digger]

for the Trike UTCustom Annihilator ECO 24 you show in this video, how much is the total price and how much more if the optional battery/electro assist is added?

[donflatt]

I like the information you provide. I wish your shop was in Prince George Canada!

[shepatown]

That has more versatility than my Greenspeed GTO.

[davidbrandenburg]

thats what I need to get back and forth to the store, dam doctors don't let me drive anymore and can't walk well enough to use the bus.
