The Catrike Pocket Tadpole Recumbent Trike

 

Catrike Pocket


Pocket 08

The pocket is a compact Catrike designed to give compact riders, under 5’8” ideal weight distribution. Its narrow track makes it the easiest Catrike to get through a door or to ride between the “no cars here” posts on a bike path. The Pocket’s narrow track and shorter overall length make it the most easily transported Catrike too. And at 29 lb it’s also the lightest Catrike. I’m 6’2” so it doesn’t handle my length very well and I can’t tell you how it handles from first hand experience but I’d guess it is a bit less stable at high speeds due to its smaller size. It has a 20” rear wheel for good tire selection and a decent high gear. The two 18” front tires allow a good turning radius and compact narrow track but limit your tire choices.

I don’t like the twist shifters much on any USS (Under Seat Steering) recumbent. The twist shift is designed for a mountain bike where it is operated by your stronger index and middle fingers. On a USS recumbent bike or trike with vertical handlebars you must shift with your less robust pinky and ring fingers. On a direct steer trike it can take some practice to just twist shift without turning. We have had several customers who find their hand strength is not up to the task. Not to worry, we can install Shimano Dura Ace bar end shifters and a Shimano LX rear derailleur on a new Catrike Trail, Pocket for $145.

So, what type of rider is the Pocket for? Riders under 5’8” looking for a lighter, smaller trike for a reasonable price.
