First off the Industrialbicycle side: Everything went well from the website, to shipping, to how well the trike was packaged. Now on to the Trike itself.



This is my first Trike, Recumbent, and fat tire experience. I live near the coast in the Pacific Northwest so access to lots of good sand. It took me a few hours to unpackage, set up, and ready the trike for use. Then a few more rides to refine all the adjustments. Once everything was dialed in very comfortable ride. Both on and offroad it is a blast, no end to the questions from other cyclists or random people. If I had any complaints the only minor one being that even when folded it barely fits in the back of my FJ Cruiser (26" tires) but that is no ones fault. I love this thing.

First, Industrial bike was very prompt on my many questions, with great answers. As for the trike, love it, love it, love it! I only have the 7spd, which is not enough gears for me, I'd opt for an upgrade next time. It takes a little time to get use to it. I've been riding for about a year now. Tires are wearing rather quick. I will be adding an electric motor. This should help with the 7 gears I got. Quality is enough to pass but the price reflects that. I'm just use to my Cannondale Fat CAAD, rather high end bike. All in all, I'm very pleased with everything.

<p>I just purchased my Trident Terrain with the 26" wheel for riding trails through the woods and dirt roads by my home. My wife thought I was crazy for wanting a second trike just for riding dirt. The fat tires are the way to go if you want to ride dirt roads and trails through the woods. I run my tire at 10 PSI and it is just perfect for rolling over small rocks and tree root. I would highly recommend the 26" wheels over the 20" wheels because the bigger wheels will roll over rocks and bumps better than the smaller wheel version. The fat tire go through mud better than my old mountain bike and I do not have to worry about slipping and wiping out on a trike. I did make one upgrade which is the twenty-one speed kit so I can have both a lower and higher gear range. There is no rear fender available from Trident so I manufactured my own rear fender. The rear fender is important for spring riding in Michigan because the dirt roads are wet an muddy. The seat is comfortable and fit my back and butt well enough. What I really liked was the price, my road trike is three times the price of the Terrain so the Terrain looks like a bargain. I am happy that Trident kept the cost down which makes me feel better because I love going out and playing in the dirt with my trike.</p>

This is my first recumbent trike so far I like it a lot it is very comfortable to ride.

There was only one little issue with the trike when I received it there was some shipping damage on one of the wheels. I will say that the trike was drop shipped from the factory, Industrial Bicycles did not see this trike at all. Industrial Bicycles is working with the manufacturer and myself to get this resolved in a timely manor. Before purchasing this trike I had several questions that needed answered. The team at Industrial Bicycle was very helpful and understanding with me and answered all my questions.

I receently bought a Terrain with 26 inch wheels so I could explore more of the dirt roads and two tracks around my house. I opted for the 21 speed option and couldnt be happier with my decision. I was not expecting much in terms of quality due to the low price tag but rest assured, this thing is awsome. It will go anywhere that you care to pedal it.
