CarbonTrike Is Stunning In Every Way
Peoria, AZ
What I Like: High cruising speed, low trike weight, comfort
What I Dislike: nothing
How I Ride: long, low and fast
I’ve owned a CarbonTrikes recumbent for four years, purchased directly from CarbonTrikes in Sweden. It has been everything I hoped and more. I have been riding bikes for years, and decided that I would add a recumbent trike to the mix for two, main reasons: first, I’m getting older and falls are an increasing concern (I’m 60; as Clint Eastwood said, “A man’s got to know his limitations”); also, I like to ride long distances (centuries) and want to be comfortable.
My review is based on 4 years owning and riding the CarbonTrike. It is incredibly stable even at high speeds and in corners. I’ve never had an accident and have gone 40+ mph on it (40+ mph on a low slung recumbent feels hellaciously fast). It also is incredibly comfortable. I rode it 110 miles a few weeks ago without back, shoulder, wrist or seat pain I might experience on an upright on a long ride. Several days later I rode my upright bike 60 miles and thought, “This is a tougher ride than the 110 on the recumbent.” The build quality has been exceptional with zero issues. It is tough: years ago, I accidentally hit a 2×4 in the roadway at speed, and when I checked the recumbent afterwards, it was undamaged (but I never want to do that again, ugh).
I’m glad to see the CarbonTrikes guys greatly expanding the number of people who can experience their superior product, as they partner with Bacchetta.

What I Like: Lightweight., innovative , new, it's awesome guys cocongratulations! Great way to think out of the box.
What I Dislike: No Suspension, for me seat height to low need it 22" high no fault of your bike
How I Ride: Not at all as my shwinn trike is to dangerous to ride and IM too sore. I want to exercise and ride trails outside and cruising on back roads. Gets me out of house.
I’m intrigued and interested. I’m 64 yrs Old and a Florida Retired disabled (Park Patrol)LEO. My trike Burgman 650 is up for sale and I’ve been looking at recumbant trikes as my only and next transportation. I’ve owned 64 vehicles and 16 motorcycles. I have to use a Walker to walk but can still do 70rpms and 16 mph on my recumbent exercise trike in the house. Before pneumonia that almost killed me 3 yrs ago I was doing 80rpm and 18mph. Last year I fell and broke my hip on my right leg side. I was riding an old schwinn 3 speed trike at 18 to 20mph. I road my aluminum cannondale bike 25 to 32 when I was able to go fast. I’m a gearhead and speed junkie(the road kind lol ) and I sold my VTX 1800 Trike because I had pneumonia for 2 months didnt know why I couldn’t ride it and sold it for burgman and couldn’t get my right leg over and ride this after I fell and broke right hip last February. I was in motor vehicle accident (rearended in 93) worked my last 2 yrs as LEO and didnt know I had a broken neck. I have been disabled ever since and my shrinx on my spinal colum is the size of pea causing my nerves to die and weakness in right leg. Its extremely difficult to get my right leg in toe clip on my ex. Bike. I live in Zepheryhills where there are hills and I wanted to put the lightest fastest mid motor behind seat or where were able to attempt to go 60 mph when I was too tired to pedal and to be sure I can get home. Looking for bike and transportation 2 in 1. I was planning on putting full led lights on front and rear that flash and a large flag with light. I don’t know if this will work with your carbon bike. I’ve been looking at full suspension fat tire trike, planned to put dot road slicks on, as my seat hieght needs to be 22″ high to get on and off it. It may be crazy to do this or not even possible or affordable, your trike about blows my entire budget. Just running this by you. Your trike will revolutionize and shake up the market and industry. I’ll call you next week to possibly collaborate on a project together. Dj
