Anybody here ride them? Appreciate any pointers about what to get. Thinking about getting one, but have never ridden one. Any opinions on the Terratrike Cruiser or Path?

Try a tadpole, two wheels in front, one behind. Outlawed in bicycle racing in 1932, all of the human powered vehicle records are held by tadpoles, or at least that's the rumor. In any case they cover a lot of ground in a comfortable manor.

wfh--The trikes I asked about are all tadpoles--as you stated two wheels in front---they call one wheel in front deltas.

Oop’s, I apologize for not checking out what a Terratrike was before commenting on trikes. I purchased a EZ tadpole sx several years ago for an ageing father to get some exercise. That didn’t work out but as a result I have learned a little about tadpoles. First of all they are fun. You ride in a reclined position watching the geese fly and everything around you rather than front wheel and a short stretch of road ahead as you often do on a two wheeled conventional bike. The one I have is heavy (48 pounds) which one would think would make it uncompetitive with a good $2500 road bike. Not true, you are not going to fly up the hills, but on the level and downhill you will walk away from them. The one real negative is that on our country roads they have in last couple of years cut rumble strips four feet up from the shoulder. Really not bike friendly and I have found myself taking an old mountain bike on some of my favorite runs.

In our stable is a Trice QNT optioned out to about $3600. Worth every penny in terms of enjoyment gained from the purchase.
I made a try at mountain biking again this summer and paid the price - my shoulders just won't let me ride upright bikes at all. The pain from daily riding came on very slowly and I toughed it out for a month because I was having so much fun on the trail. By the time I listened to my body and stopped it was too late. It's 5 months later and my shoulders are still hurting though it is slowly subsiding.

If you can handle looking like a complete nerd trikes are some awesome, relaxing fun and great excercise as well. The lower end Teratrike models don't cost much but aren't very refined either. Buy once, cry once is my motto for bikes. We have a shop here in Utah called Utah trikes. If you don't have any local stocking trike shops nearby give ashley a call. He sells tons of trikes via his online site and is very knowedgable.

Nomo4me--Thanks for the reply. I knew there was a shop in Payson Ut. I have daughters in the Roy Ut area and would love a visit with them and a side trip to Payson. The terra trike I had in mind is about $2000. There is a guy that we graduated same high school same year that is avid triker. His name is Freddy Pink and he posts his stories on various trike sites. He said he only knew one guy with terra trike and he didn't give it very good review. My local bike shop doesnt have trikes but can get Sun and I didn't hear good about them. There is a guy in Refugio,Tx about 400 miles away that makes Scarab (sp?)trikes that sent me an email. I do ride a bike nearly everyday but it is in town and I'm not sure how well a trike would do in town?

Your main decision will be seat geometry - how high off the ground do you want to be and how reclined do you want to be.
Performance trikes are very laid back and low slung for good aerodynamics but are difficult to get in and out of. The QNT is a discontinued model now but if I were buying again I'd want one just like it. Very comfortable and very nimble. It's lightweight and can be accelerated quickly.

I'd not buy Sun myself. Ashley sells a ton of Teratrike and knows the line well. If I were you I'd call him, tell him you've got some money burning in your pocket and talk with him about your build, budget and how you want to ride.
He'll get you set up ok, but he never discounts. I was ok with that as most high-end trike dealers sell at full retail. Buy once cry once - I've done it the other way too many times and finally learned.
As to riding in town: you will be lower than the bumper on a Prius. Nuff said.

Is Ashley the shop in Payson Ut?

Yes, he is the owner. One add-on I absolutely love is the $500+ schlumpf mountain drive geared front crank. Kick a center button with either heel and you switch from granny gear to high end gears. I rarley have to use the rear gears.
Let us know how it works out.

Nomo4me--No I don't have money burning a hole in my pocket. If I did maybe this would be an easy decision. Having difficulty figuring out if letting loose of that much would be something I considered worth it. If I do that, then I probably have to do a complete kitchen upgrade for my wife.

LOL, understand that. I don't have much cash either, I just spend stupid sometimes.
