It doesn't matter which model it is because all are very heavy. Specifications taken from the Bicycleman Alfred NY website.
EZ-3 and EZ-3 tri-classic 67 pounds
EZ3-AX (aluminum frame) 52 pounds
EZ-3 USX 65 pounds
It is somewhat of a challenge to ride anything this heavy up a decent hill much less lift it to put it in place on a rack or a roof. I tried bringing a friend's 50's vintage Schwinn one-speed tank bike home on a rack and decided it was too heavy to carry that way safely plus darned hard to lift to get it on a rack.
That's not to disparage the Sun trike. It's cheap, sturdy, readily available, has moderately decent components, and can serve well as a first trike for someone willing to put up with pedaling that much weight. It has a far better gear range than a lot of entry level trikes.
