I bought my wife a used Terra Trike Cruiser (to help with her strength and conditioning after a cancer battle that left her in a wheelchair) for a fraction of the cost of a new trike that I assumed was only a few years old but it was in such good shape that I had no idea it was discontinued 12 years ago! Sure, it needed a little mechanical love at first but she LOVES it and LOVES getting out for some fresh air and a little independence riding paved trails at some local parks. She's up to 3 miles now which is pretty impressive considering she can barely walk 10 feet! Some folks can be a little snobby towards Terra Trikes but not everyone needs a $7000 hardcore touring machine, especially when dealing with a river of medical bills coming in!

Huh. I like the difference between the words you taught. Seems a lot clearer

I purchased a Terra Trike Rambler and added a motor. Being disabled, I was desperate to be able to get back outside and go on trails & that was the best option for me. I had to add the head rest, wrist & feet straps and mirrors. The one thing I wish I had thought about was suspension. I thought, I'll be on mostly paved paths so it wasn't necessary to spend so much more. I was wrong. We're saving up and 1 day I'll have the bike I need for my needs. Right now, I'm still enjoying the Rambler vs being stuck inside.

I bought a Terratrike Trail 2 about 2.5 years ago and love it.

Looking for a trike to use for hunting have a walking disabily

I have a question about buying used. At my auto shop I use, I can bring a car in and for $100 they will run a diagnostic on it and tell me if it is in good shape. Do trike shops do that too? This would be my first trike and I am wary of forking over money with out some expert looking at it. (This is FB marketplace.)

I still ride my Greenspeed GT1 every day, everything works well so why would I upgrade? 16” wheels mean that the Tyers wear out faster but Ido up to six thousand klms per year I’m disabled and 70 years old. Cheers all, stay safe out there!

I bought a new Trident Stowaway 2 ($1, 900) and had nothing but breakdowns from the beginning. I never abused to trike nor road it in the rain. I'd list the problems, but they're too numerous. Let's just say they range from 24+ broken spokes to catastrophic cracks in the frame. So, I bought a $6, 000 Triot with Rohloff hub and other great features. I started having problems right away, including all the ball bearings on the left side of the front crank disintegrating. I returned it after 3 months. I must have a trike curse because these are good brands, and I'm not aware of anyone who's had the extensive issues I've had. I REALLY miss having a trike, but I won't risk paying for another. 😞

I have a terra trike. I love it so much that I bought the battery option. It's great for my back and legs.

Unfortunately I can't afford $1000 let alone $1500+ and for $3000 I might as well buy an ebike.

Have you known anyone to up-size the rear wheel on the Terra Trike Maverick? I am considering purchasing one. I am 6'3" and weigh 265.

Bruh there was a cycle with single wheel with pedals in front and 2 steering wheels
At the back in the thumbnail what was that abomination?
