Trident Trikes
 

Anyone try these? Some of their models appear to have decent components at a really decent price, especially considering that they include racks, lights, etc.

I'm hoping to try one out, but I probably won't get to check it out until October.

Really? Nobody?!

Bueller? Bueller?

You should try the forum at Bent Riders Online. Many more members and I'm quite sure a few have tested or owned a Trident.

There is a review of the Trident Stowaway on bentrideronline by Bryan Ball. His review seemed pretty positive - no real complaints about the trike and he was enthusiastic about finding a trike with this low a price. There have been no owner-initiated comments as there are for other trikes listed in the Buyer's Guide section. I did notice in looking at the specs on the trike that it does suffer from the same problem that any 20" drive wheel trike with standard road bike gearing has - a 92 gear inch upper limit. If you are an accomplished rider, that upper gear will soon seem to be rather inadequate. My first trike, a WW 3.4, had a 98 gear inch high gear and it wasn't very long after I bought it that I was wishing for higher gears.

That's one of the major frustrations I'm having with my Sun trike. I would love a higher gear right about now.

One clydesdale to another, Trident is a great company and their trikes are very well put together. I had a Stowaway 1 for a while and Tom at Trident was always a pleasure to work with. The trike was solidly built and the components were very good. I did add a chain guard to the rear idler and modified the computer mount for the sending unit but it was a great buy and I would recommend one to anybody. Trident has some innovations coming into the market that will just kill the competition so keep an eye on Tom and Trident.
