Over the years, I’ve been watching Tesla Motors and other manufacturers start cranking out all electric vehicles. As someone that cares about the environment and the ecological damage Humans have pushed, I don’t really want an ICE (internal combustion engine) car. However, when considering the current recharging network and the cost of owning a BEV (battery electric vehicle), one must compromise somewhere.

Would I like to have a Tesla CyberTruck? Sure would! Do I need one, not really. In my research for a more eco-friendly vehicle, I found electric-bicycles, trikes, and quads. These look awesome. I’m still somewhat athletic and can run 10km before I fall to the ground. So, having a vehicle that requires some physical effort on my part doesn’t dissaude me. Besides, I should probably get outside and excercise more often.

While an electric bike is probably the cheapest and most convenient for people to travel, it has a number of disadvantages. It’s difficult to carry passengers and cargo. While I could go to the store for groceries in a bicycle, it limits what I can bring home. Quad-cycles are very much like a car, but muscle powered by your legs. The disadvantage of a quad is that like a car, they are heavy but can carry a lot more weight. A trike (or tricycle) is a compromise between a bicycle and a quad-cycle as the vehicle doesn’t weigh as much as a quad, but has comfort and easier maneuverability. Unfortunately, both the quad-cycles and trikes cost a lot more than your typical bicycle as they are not mass produced and require a lot of custom/ manual construction.

As I’m looking to relocate my family to Hokkaido, Japan, I need something that can go uphill in the snow. So, the compromise I have decided is to buy a used SUV gas vehicle with 4WD. Then in the non-snow months, use a trike with trailer for transporting the kids or groceries home. This has lead to my research on trikes and trailers. Below are some videos I found to help arrive at my decision.

What I learned a year after buying my first electric bike (RadRunner 1) 🔗

This is the future of urban mobility. This is the answer to all of our problems. This is The Drycycle. This EAPC (Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycle) is, as far as legislation is concerned, a bicycle - and may just be the solution to the issues caused in urban environments by heavy, polluting cars. In this video, Si challenges Hank to the ultimate city cycling challenge to see if the Drycycle really is the future.

Recumbent Bike 🔗

A recumbent bike, unlike a typical bicycle where you are almost standing up, is a type where you can sit backwards with your feet pointing to the front of the vehicle. One of the main advantages of this type of bike is the aerodynamic efficiency of it. You’re ususally lower to the ground and this creates less coefficient drag as you push yourself through the air.

I didn’t know it at the time, but I started my cycling experience on a recumbent trike when I was a kid. Now that I’m much older, I seem to be going back to those days.

Do You Really Need A Car? | Why E Bikes Could Be The Future Of Personal Transport 🔗

Everyone, even cyclists generally accept that cars are essential for everyday modern life. They can carry your shopping, you don’t get sweaty while driving them, and you can take your kids to school in them. But are they really that vital?

With the advancement of e-bikes, there are more and more solutions for replacing cars in your everyday life, from commuting, to going to the shops. We wanted to see if Si could actually go without his car, using a pedal assisted cargo bike and a more conventional e-bike. As it turns out, he wasn’t the only one to enjoy it, which left us wondering whether you really need a car at all?

Anny came along with me on this trip, and was my camera-woman, while I got to work building my trike from the ground up. The whole process took about 3 days, and was well worth it.

Taiwan, where your BIKE, TRIKE, QUAD was born! 🔗

Join me as I tour their museum and factory floor and get a sneak peek at the birthplace for what could be the cycle you are riding now!

Pacific Cycle founded itself on the niche of being the company that can make the technically difficult. They are focused, streamlined, and do what they do very well. People come to them from all over the world when they have been turned away from other more traditional factories that were intimidated by designed thought to be too aggressive.

What E-bike Manufacturers Don’t Want You To Know. Watch before buying an electric bike! 🔗

E-bikes are currently still in the “Wild West” state of being as prices and quality are not stable. I blame E-bike brands. They really are Middle men. They purchase bikes in bulk from a manufacturer in China and slap their logo on the frame and mark up the price 200-300%. INSANE.
Whats worse is when you try to get support for the bike from them. Often times the people that work for the company don’t know their own product (trust me) and the brand themselves often times have trouble keeping parts for their bikes on hand for support since the manufacturer sells to many other brands as well.

BEST OFF-ROADING TRIKE? Ti FLY X VS. ICE Full Fat - 2020 Trike Comparison 🔗

You asked. We answered. Which trike is the BEST off-roading trike on the market!!! Obviously there are lots of variables and both the ICE Full Fat and Azub Ti FLY X have their advantages and disadvantages when it comes to off road riding. The Ti FLY will tear down dirt or gravel paths AND is an absolute blast on the road. It’s agile and has very responsive handling, not to mention that full suspension is an absolute dream, BUT… Can it go everywhere? Not really. If you want a true all-terrain trike, the Full Fat will take you wherever you want to go, although it might take a little bit longer than it would on a Ti FLY X. Decide what kind of riding you want to do, and start from there!

DIRECT VS. INDIRECT STEERING - What Do I Choose?! - Is One Better Than The Other? 🔗

We get this question a LOT: Should I choose direct or indirect steering? Truth be told, this really is a question of preference. There are advantages and disadvantages to each, but your steering doesn’t really affect how your trike handles. Handling has more to do with things that are built into your trike (castor/camber, head tube inclination, etc). Our suggestion to you is to choose the trike and not the steering. Don’t let how your handlebars are set up be a total deal breaker.

Here are a few key points:
Indirect Steering is found on more premium trikes like ICE, HP Velo and Azub models, and it tends to provide a smoother ride since your hands are more removed from the wheels. This steering also feels a little more intuitive, but it’s lacking in adjustability compared to direct steering models.

Direct Steering is found on on trikes like Sunseeker, KMX and Catrike models and has more adjustability than indirect steer trikes. Riders who prefer direct steering have stated that they like the way they can “feel the road” and they feel like they have a little more control. You will feel vibration from the road a bit more with direct steering, but you will have more places to mount accessories.

Terra Cycle - Multi-Purpose Accessory Mount 🔗

Beautiful. Durable. Functional. If you don’t have one, the Multi-Purpose Accessory Mount is the best thing that hasn’t happened to your bike. But chances are this isn’t your first time here, because few people buy just one. We don’t necessarily condone it, but this lightweight mount is so strong, you can lift your bike by it. What’s amazing, though, is that with its dual pivoting legs that come in three sizes, it can mount anywhere. Seriously. Just go ahead and check out our Accessory Mount Photo Gallery to see some inventive combinations other customers have come up with.

Check out the mount here: https://t-cycle.com/collections/accessory-mounts/products/multipurpose-accessory-mount

Add one or two Extender Kits (http://t-cycle.com/-p-29.html) and you’ll suddenly find yourself with more room than you know what to do with! The triangulating legs cut out the shaking that flimsier mounts create, and allows for insane versatility.
Go ahead, buy just one. We’ll have another ready for you when you’re back for more.

Now… for this one I personally do not think i will keep it on the front, as shown in the video. I have a VELTOP that will use this trike real estate… but i wanted to show how most people use this component.

Terra Cycle - HPVT Scorpion SeatSide Mount Kit (Back of Seat) 🔗

One of the great things about triking is how nice it is to have everything right at hand as you roll along. With a SeatSide mount, you can have all sorts of things close at hand.

Our HP Velotechnik Scorpion SeatSide Mount lets you carry bags, water bottles, cameras, all sorts of things, right by your side. Snacks, phones, lip balm, you name it, now you can keep it all within reach while riding.

This mount attaches to the back of any ErgoMesh seat. The mount curves out and down to stay clear of the seat adjustment clamp and the rear rack, then it comes forward to your side. The seatside arm can be attached on either side, or (optionally) both if you wish.

They have side seat mounts for all sorts of scenarios. Just ask them. For me, i wanted to have bags on BOTH SIDES. most trikers will only want one side bag. I wanted to have access to my most used camera equipment and lenses…and i didn’t want to increase my overall width too much outside my wheelbase. When the setup arrived, it was compensating for the width a bit too much for my taste, so a few simple cuts and relocating the ends allowed me to get the bags to hug the seat a little more. Now i am streamlines and can get at all my stuff in Arkel’s waterproof durable bags!

Terra Cycle - Cockpit Mount/Vertical Attachment 🔗

The Cockpit Mount with Vertical Attachment allows you to position cockpit mounts anywhere and everywhere in your cockpit. With two Double-Ended Clamps, a 40mm Straight Link Tube, and a 5" x 9" Asymmetric T-Bar, forward/backward, left/right, and up/down transform from obstacles to options! Made for attachment to vertically oriented handlebars (like most trikes and USS recumbents), the Cockpit Mount with Vertical Attachment lets you put everything in the ideal position.

Note that Cockpit Mounts are designed for mounting accessories like computers, phones, lights, mirrors, and GPSs. They are not designed to be an exit assist grip. They are strong, but not that strong! If you need an exit assist grip, you will need something designed for that purpose.

I personally found that this mount allowed me to separate my ride computer and my phone in a way that was stable, but also separate enough that they didn’t get in each others way. I found it hard to have both my phone and my computer on the same plane… but this helped stagger them so both were equally visible.

Terra Cycle - Bottle Mount 🔗

This is a mixture of Terra Cycle parts that allowed me to clamp a bottle mount onto one of my upright stand up assists from HP Velotechnik. I wanted to have something up higher and upright that i could access easily on the road… and this fit the bill. My standup assist bars are a great base to build accessories onto, and I am glad i could hook this up!

Terra Cycle - Mini Cockpit T 🔗

Ever wish you could mount a mirror off to the side of your handlebar? Ever wish you could put your computer right at the top of your handlebar? Ever wish you had a hand rest on the end of your handlebar? Ever wish you had something to grip to give you a little extra boost to get on and off the seat? Well, sometimes wishes come true! This mini T-bar plugs in and clamps on to the end of your handlebar and lets you do all those things and more!

I personally found this helpful as a replacement to the hand shifter bar end, which was sort of flimsy and plastic. This replaced the cap with something durable, and usable. I had also bought 2 wrist rests from HP Velotechnik, and was a little dissatisfied with putting them under the brake lever. these ends allowed me to put them above the handles, raising my arm and elbow into a more comfortable riding position when I was in a cruising speed. I’m excited to put them to hard use on the road!

We test every CARLA personally for its stability and the functioning of the overrun brakes before we deliver it to our customers. The CARLA shown in the video was tested with a load of 120kg. Even with this heavy cargo load you can stop within seconds and the trailer does not push your bike away.

CARLA can be combined with any bike, ebike or cargo bike. With an eCARLA you can easily transport heavy cargo and deliver it comfortable and secure. CARLA CARGO is the modern and green solution for the last mile delivery in urban logistics.

Assembling My Custom Zarges Trailer 🔗

After watching Matt from the Jayoe Nation show off his Absolutely beautiful Aidoo Trailer, I had a shot at making my own from scratch. Below is a video of his Aidoo https://youtu.be/xg1Wzsz00dM?t=10m2s

The Base of the Trailer is a Hotmover trike that I cut and modified to fit the Zarges.

The Hitch is the tried and tested yak bob fork. No reason to reinvent the wheel here. Yak Bob has a great product, So I added it to my build.

The Tongue of the trailer is my own design welded together by Dogwoodcycleworx.

The Main Body of the trailer is the Zarges 40567 aluminum box. Light weight and sturdy. This is the perfect combo.

I will be installing hydraulic breaks at a later date.

Model K470. ITs Huge for a bike Trailer. But surprisingly light weight.
Part Number: Zarges Case 40567
Overall Dimensions: 39.4" x 19.7" x 16.1"

https://zargesusa.com/products/cases/standard/k470/

The frame is modified from a recumbent trike that I parted out for the suspension on the trailer. I’m currently working on a hitch for the trailer to attaché to a standard cargo bike.

Gear Review | Burley Coho XC Bikepacking Trailer 🔗

In this video, I’m reviewing the Burley Coho XC bike packing trailer, which I recently tried on my first-ever bikepacking trip.

Like many of you, I spend more of my time backpacking than biking but having this trailer made it really easy to enjoy the best of both worlds. I could carry all the gear I needed for an overnight camping trip, while at the same time, I could take advantage of the great single-track mountain biking trails in my area, and the added range that biking offers backcountry travellers.

Have you ever tried (or considered trying) bikepacking? Let me know in the comment section below!
