EZ-3 Recumbent Tricycle
The EZ-3 is very
comfortable with a large cushy seat. It is a good trike for someone who
needs exercise and local transportation but doesn't think they have the
strength or co-ordination to ride a two wheeled traditional bike or
recumbent. It is slow and heavy but stable at lower speeds.
The EZ-3’s seat
is high enough to make getting on and off easy. We have had customers
with medical conditions such as Parkinson's and severe arthritis that
thought they wouldn't be able to ride who found the EZ-3 a joy. One
rider's condition forces him to walk with a walker but he was able to
enjoy the EZ-3 on his first ride. It's low speed handling is very easy
to get used to. It is easy to get on to and off of, even for some riders
who have trouble walking. One of the nice things about a trike is low
speed stability. You can climb as slowly as you like and not fall over,
and you can stop for a rest without getting off. We can give it custom
low gears to make it climb any paved hill.
It is heavy at
67 lb and not the bike for someone who wants to go fast, even on
descents. After taking a sixteen-mile ride on one I have to report it is
even more comfy and not as slow as I had expected. Over 20 mph it's
high-speed handling is poor-to-unsafe. Its high-speed emergency handling
is terrible. The front rim brake and rear disk brake work well, you
shouldn't have any trouble keeping your speed down. The rear brake pulls
the bike slightly to the right.

NOTE: Sun does not allow us to ship their bikes to customers
in the US. If you live too far away from us to come test ride and cannot
find a Sun dealer in your area we could ship the Sun recumbent of your
choice to most any bike shop near you for assembly. We usually can
arrange to pay the shop for the assembly.
