Trident has been around a while but seem to fly below the radar. The only one I've seen wasn't in Texas, and it seemed like a blend of a KMX, Terratrike & Greenspeed. Had that "Made in Taiwan" look in the construction; not in a bad way, just things like skimpy welds (but with good penetration).

Being a Carolina boy I know the Lincolnton NC area has an abundance of very clever skilled craftsman; its also known for fine furniture using solid hardwood.

I talked quite a bit with the owners of Trident. Such nice people. A real Mom and Pop business. The thing that caught me was they seem to go a little extra. I didn't have a chance to ride the trikes, since I didn't ave a baby sitter for Sweet P at the Recumbent Cycle Con so I could test ride. No dealers for them anywhere near Texas. Just curious.

The seat is a bit high compared to my other trikes but not compared to any of the other straight spar bikes. Build and service have been wonderful. At its price point I don't think they can be beat. Great entry level bike. Continues to be a pleasant ride Richard Spike ll Terratrike 3.2 ICE XL

Thank you for that report Rickard. I wanted to ride them at the RCC in St. Charles, but didn't have a baby sitter for Sweet P so I could take off. I talked extensively to them, and I really liked the folks.

We are going to try like the devil to have some at the Heart of Texas Recumbent Rally and Rodeo to test ride. I a, working on it as I write!
