    I can you about the srounging around and trying to go the "cheap" route. Sometimes it gets turned around and ends up biting you in the ass. I bought a 11 year old Sun EZ3 HD delta type semi-recumbent trike on a consignment sale from a LBS. I e-mailed Sun to find out the date it was made. It...

    Liberty Trike interests us for its RV-transportable. Any thoughts?

    I bought a Liberty Trike for my wife a year ago. No problems, but the back half is a little heavier than 25 lbs unless you take out the battery first. Which is not hard. The little 8amp hr battery comes up a little short in range. So I bought a 36v15ah battery on Amazon ($274.00) It is 4"...
