Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely not, the learning curve is really easy. They are very stable, simple to steer, and the brakes are safe and strong. Since you don't have to balance it frees up your attention to operate the controls. 

 Standard Trident accessories include (except Spike, E Spike, Titan and E Titan) three fenders, an aluminum rear rack, a rear light, an accessory mount (ie front light), a Mirrycle mirror, parking brakes, water bottle cage, and a safety flag. 

Other brands have a full range of accessories available.

 It depends. Trident doesn't charge an extra premium for their folding trikes. AZUB is more expensive, but their hinge is a machinists 'work of art'. HP Velo is more, but they have one of the slickest folds on the market. ICE only offers folding models. TerraTrike charges more. 

 No. I have several customers up to 275 lbs  and I experienced zero failures. Folding trike limits: A TerraTrike Traveler will handle up to 300 lbs. AZUB trikes are rated for 275 lbs, ICE Adventure HD 330 lbs, and HP Velo are 286 lbs. 

 Trident is the 'Hyundai' of the recumbent trike world. They're robust, comfortable, handle well, and are well engineered with solid components. The fact that they fold, come with decent accys all for a value price, is just icing on the cake. See my Stowaway page for more information. 

If Trident is the Hyundai of the recumbent world then AZUB would be the 'Audi' of the recumbent world. They're for the discerning customer that simply wants a highly engineered hand-crafted product, wants to tour, wants a customized drivetrain, or wants advanced suspension. 

 A Gekko 26 is a sporty choice for the taller heavier rider or for those that don’t need a folding trike 

 Great over all mid-range trikes!
