Some Consideration Before Buying Recumbent Trike
By : Maxeka Lumuda
Enjoy the winter with a recumbent trike, this is unforgettable moment of my winter last year. I have tried using many conventional bikes since I was graduated from senior high school but I have not done much time in the winter riding those bikes. Actually I want to ride different bike that is more comfortable during the winter, and I want to ride something different that has good quality of tire and wheel. Finally I found recumbent trike that is more stable and safer to ride in the winter, even though harder to push on the snow.
Recumbent trike has three wheels and is designed for disabilities rider. That’s why you can ride the kind of bike through the snow in the winter. But, before you buy recumbent trike there are several things you should know. In this article, you will find something useful to help you choosing the recumbent trike.
The first thing you should consider is the wheelbase.
There are two kinds of wheelbases, long and short wheelbase. Long wheelbase is providing stable riding performance, but short wheelbase is easier to be ridden around the traffic during winter. This is important to choose the right wheelbase type according to your necessity. If you want to ride more stable recumbent trike, you can choose the long wheelbase type. But if you want to ride easier recumbent trike you can choose short one. This great bike model is offering stable transportation through the snow, so you may choose the long or short wheelbase type.
The second thing you should consider before buying recumbent trike is the handlebars
There are two types of handlebar location that you can choose; under the seat and front handlebar. Handlebar that is under the seat is more comfortable as you can hang your hands by your side. Meanwhile, recumbent trike with front handlebar is more common to use by most riders. So, choose the handlebar according to your necessity and interest. It is up to you, I will not recommend one of them because each people has different interest.
Next consideration is the type of the recumbent trike
Talking about recumbent trike, basically there are two types available now in the market such as tadpole and delta. Tadpole recumbent trike has two wheels in the front and one in the rear. Tadpole recumbent trike is designed with good aerodynamic feature in order to provide better performance. Meanwhile, the delta recumbent trike design has one front wheel and two wheels in the rear. Even though two of them are different, but both of them are easy to get off and on with shorter turning radius. So, which recumbent trike you will chose, it’s your own decision.
Recumbent trike offers you an ease of use during winter that you will not find in another bike. Recumbent trike is a special bike that you can ride through the snow safer and more stable. If you want to cross the traffic with a bike, then you should ride recumbent trike.
