: Mike, have you seen one of the Challenge trikes yet? *drools* I ride a Sun
: EZ-Speedster SX, but am looking at "upgrading" soon (probably to
: a home-built, due to financial restrictions, but I might buy another
: 'bent). I doubt I'll go to a trike, but they are becoming more and more
: attractive to me. Is yours a homebuilt? I don't recognize it.
: As for trikes with rear-wheel steering, I'm familiar with a handful of
: homebuilts and the Sidewinder. A review of a Sidewinder can be found at
: the link attached. I don't think it is very trailer-friendly though.
Hi David,
It's a nice design but I have a few doubts about it, mainly the direct steering.
I've used that type on a cart once and stopped. Unless the steering geometry is exactly right, it can become over sensitive to surface conditions.
It does look nice, though.
Can't see puting a trailer on one, that'd be like putting a trailer on a Porsche or a Lamborgini.
If you're interested in a home built trike design, check out this site http://www.ihpva.org/com/PracticalInnovations/index.html
Mine is built by SteinTrikes in Serbia. About the least expensive manufactured trike available in Europe. Here's their site, http://www.steintrikes.com/
I was thinking of the Sidewinder, just couldn't think of the name. No, I doubt they'd excel at trailer towing. Unless the 'trailer' was in front? (Nope, I'm nt going there.)
Sorry about the apparent digression from kayaks, everybody, but I tow my kayaks with my trike.
