So...I've just joined this forum, bought my Greenspeed GT3 just over a week ago, rode it 100K couple of days ago...but dang, I can't figure out how to fit it into my Honda Civic Hybrid's trunk or back seat.
I had done some test riding at my local recumbent shop over a year ago, and I now think it was a Trice that I managed to squeeze in there--I bought this barely-used GT3, hauled it home in my old Volvo Station Wagon that I hope to get rid of, but now am looking into getting a Draftmaster or roof rack for the Civic.
Or maybe there's a way to get the GT3 in...how hard is it to take off the wheels (drum brake) and put them back on? If it can fit a Saturn's trunk, there's a chance I can get it in the Civic. So...Retro Grouch--what do you do besides the basic fold, please?

I had pretty much discarded the idea of owning a trike due to the transportation issue. Then, at the Rans recumbent rally, a dealer from colorado showed me a folding ICE trike. I was impressed. After returning home, we drove my wife's Saturn to a local dealer and said: "If you can show her how she can fit the trike into her car and assemble it so she can ride, we'll buy it." It took awhile but the owner figured out how to do it and we drove home with a Greenspeed GT3 in the trunk. The Greenspeed cost a bit more than she wanted to spend but we didn't have to buy a rack and receiver.
