    TerraTrike Sportster Reviewed on November 9, 2015



    The Terratrike Sportster is TerraTrike flagship trike. Made in the



    USA, the Sportster delivers for people looking to go fast yet is not a



    trike that is super low to the ground. The Sportster has a seat height



    of 15 ¼ inches which would be considered high for a go fast trike. The



    Sportster is light, only 30 lbs. for the SL version and 36 lbs. for the



    Base and 37 lbs. for the GT Version. TerraTrike made the frame in the



    the USA out of 6000 series heat treated aluminum which is how they were



    able to get the trike weight down so low. I am happy to say that



    TerraTrike has made a great trike even greater for 2016 with their new



    steering system. Terratrike will be going away from the two bushings



    used on the Kingpin and replacing the bushings with a lower bearing and a



    delrine upper bushing. We got invited to attend the TerraTrike open



    house for their trike dealers. The event is very well run and I can’t



    say enough good things on how the the TerraTrike team treats their



    dealers. We got to see all the new 2016 models and got to ride all the



    new models, as well. I was the the most impressed by the new Sportster,



    with 24 inch front wheels and a 26 inch rear wheel. I knew the bigger



    wheel would ride a little smoother and I was anxious to try the



    Sportster with the 20 inch front wheels vs the Sportster with the 24



    inch front wheels. I also thought the larger front wheels were going to



    be a problem and would limit the ability to turn sharp or rub the seat



    or my leg, but none of that happened. The test area that Terratrike had



    set up was perfect, it had smooth pavement, bumpy pavement, turns,



    straight-aways, some up hill sections and down hill sections. I got the



    opportunity to ride every model of Terratrike, back to back.




    Frame: The frame on the Sportster is a non folding



    aluminum, TIG welded together and comes with a 250 lbs capacity. The



    frame is actually made in the USA and painted in the USA. I am happy to



    see TerraTrike make the trikes here rather than Taiwan, like the other



    trike models.




    Paint: Terratrike will be offering some new matte



    finishes on the Sportster for 2016. I personally liked the new matte



    green they showed at dealer days. The paint looked to be a powder coat



    which is very durable and it looked to be applied evenly and



    consistently.




    Drive Train: You can get the Sportster with three



    different component offerings. First, is the Sportster eight speed



    internal hub trike, where all the gears are inside the hub of the rear



    wheel. Second, is the Sportster GT which is a 27 speed drivetrain with a



    front and rear derailleur. Third, is the Sportster SL which comes with



    Carbon cranks and SRAM top of the line components.




    Brakes: TerraTrike stuck with their ProMax mechanical



    disc brakes on the Sportster. The PorMax brakes do a fine job stopping



    the Sportster. The Sportster GT and SL brakes get upgraded to their Avid



    BB7’s. The Avid BB7 brakes are my favorite non hydraulic disc brake.



    They just work so well. They are very easy to adjust and you can get



    replacement brake pads at just about any bike shop. The brake levers



    have a parking lock where there is a button on the brake lever that you



    can push and lock the brake in the on position.




    Seat: The seat fabric on the Sportster has been



    upgraded for 2016. The Sportster seat fabric is very breathable and now



    comes with some side padding. The seat fabric is held in place by simple



    nylon adjustable straps that are buckled behind the seat frame. The



    Sportster seat angle is very adjustable. It can be adjusted from 40 to



    70 degrees so know you can find that perfect seating position. The seat



    can be slid easily along the main tube of the frame for the ultimate, in



    adjust-ability. Being able to adjust the seat independent from the boom



    is a nice feature. The rider now has the ability to position themselves



    closer or farther away from the handlebars, if they choose.




    Ride: Typically, I would have to say that I am not a



    huge fan of aluminum frames on non suspended trikes. Aluminum frames



    typically just have a stiffer ride than Chro-Moly frames. I will have to



    say the the Sportster frame is one of the softest riding aluminum



    frames on the market. At Terratrike demo days, I kept going back and



    forth between the Sportster GT, Sportster 24 and Rambler 24. They all



    rode well. For someone not wanting to go to a suspended trike, I think



    the 24 inch wheels may be the ticket. The larger wheel rolls over bumps



    better than smaller wheels, carry their speed better, and just give a



    smoother ride. On the negative side, the 24 inch wheels are not as



    strong as the 20 inch wheels. Their 24 inch wheels raise the rider’s



    center of gravity up, making the trike slightly less stable. If you are a



    casual rider, it does not make a difference on the extra height. If you



    want to ride the trike around corners like you just stolid it, you will



    want the smaller 20 wheels. The new steering on the 2016 Sporster is



    much lighter than the two bushing set up on the 2015 models and older,



    which is a nice improvement.




    Accessories: Terratrike is one of the best companies



    when it comes to accessories. Terratrike will be including their new



    Heal Sling on all trikes moving forward in 2016. One of the worst things



    that can happen while riding your trike, is to have your foot slip off



    the pedal which can cause an accident. In my opinion, just about



    everyone should be riding with clipless pedals and cycling shoes.



    Clipless pedals and shoes are safer and simply more comfortable than



    wearing your standard street shoes. For the people who can not be talked



    into the clipless pedals and shoes, there is the new Heal Sling.



    Terratrike also had a long list of well made accessories like racks,



    neck rests, mudguards, seat pads and mounts for lights and computers.




    In Conclusions: If you are looking for light, sleek, and fast, the Sporster might be just the right trike for you.




    Pros: Light, sleek, fast and made in the USA. Quick handling nice workmanship and paint.




    Cons: Stiffer ride than a chro-moly frame.
