Quote from FlyingLaZBoy on Apr 3rd, 2009, 4:47pm:Having had an EZ3-USX, I can identify... just watch those high-speed turns!!! <grin> Do you have a Camelback to put on the back of the seat, for tool, water, etc? I would also still recommend using SPDs or some sort of "clipless" pedal -- Terrie almost hurt herself badly, early on, when her foot slipped off on a 20mph downhill...
Enjoy! How are you transporting it, on what vehicle?
All good ideas, tnx. I put my trusty old SPDs on yesterday, it is less straining over a long ride for me clipped in. I don't have to keep relocating my feet which grows old after a while. I am temp. using my Camelback until I get a sunlite bag next month. Cornering as you say is a bit spartin
, with the wheelbase at only 30" unlike the tadpole with its safer 40 something. But I can't keep fighting a 40" or so wheelbase in and out of my apartment, the delta rolls in and out with no problems.
I also plan to buy a nice faring next month, there is a short one tinted for around $170 I like, in the meantime if it looks like a real windy day, I have a small one that covers the handlebar zone made out of good old colorplast
I will put back in service.
As for transport, I'm working on that, I will have to rely on my friend and neighbor Bikedoc if we both are going the same direction. I have plans to find a small long bed truck like my old Toyota, but all things in time. I sure enjoyed even the windy ride yesterday, not having to worry how slow I go up a hill is quite liberating.
Say I saw a new us EZ3 delta at Bicycles,Inc, it did not have the suspension like Terri's did, and another that had a seat much like the Actionbent's. Easy Racer is coming up with some nice bents for the lower prices.
