 TerraTrike Path 8

WizWheelz TerraTrike Path
The newest member of the TerraTrike family, The TerraTrike Path is priced at just under $1000. With the main focus being to get more trikes to more people, WizWheelz has undoubtedly created a winner here. While interest in recumbent trikes has been growing steadily, the cost of ownership has scared some away. The lower price and ease of use will make it much easier to get the TerraTrike Path into the hands of potential riders. Share your comments below: My Path came yesterday - I couldn't believe how fast it came! My husband (the bike expert and electrical engineer) went over it pronounced it very good quality and ready to ride! He got on and took off down the driveway. Hey, that's MY anniversary present! "This is cool." Being a foot taller than me, he looked a wee bit uncomfortable with the short boom you recommended for my 5'1 self. Guess I will get him one for his birthday next month! I rode mine twice yesterday, couldn't stay off. Let's see - this thing is smooth, easy to figure out, and very nice to ride even on our dirt roads. I have not ridden a bike in any form in over 20 years and this was awesome. I have arthritis in my neck, knees and spine and got nothing more than a slight knee twinge pedaling uphill. Best part is I am not really sore today! As soon as I am done with this email, I'm headed back out to ride! So tell your customers, this 55 year old arthritic lady living at 7500+ feet can ride this bike and just plain loves it! Thank you so much for your help with picking the right bike and thank you for the amazingly fast shipping! If you want, I'll get a picture and send you that, too. Thanks again! You guys rock! A very happy customer, 06/10/2009 12:20:48 AM If more gearing was wanted at a later date, can a front derailer/chainrings be added to this trike? Posted by WFO66 07/14/2009 12:20:40 PM Our Path 8 DL models does allow this. The standard Path 8 would require a new chain, thinner drive sprocket, and more substancial tensioner at the least. I notice that you offer the option of the 27T Schlumph HSD in the detailed specs. With the std. 22T / 25T rear cog on the Path / Path 8 that gives front/rear sprocket ratios of 1.23 and 1.08 respectively. Do the SA 3 & 8 speed hubs that are standard on the Path & Path 8 have a better torque limit than the 2:1 (front : rear) sprocket ratio required by the optional Nuvinci CVP and the Nexus-8 hubs? Posted by Trebuchet F2K 07/21/2009 02:01:40 PM SA does not provide their input torque limit, but I believe it is less than the Nuvinci. How does the 8 speed do on hills? Posted by Tink 02/10/2010 11:44:38 AM The 8-speed is the minimum to get up most of the hills here. If you have a lot of hills to contend with I would recommend a trike with more gears. can i upgrade to 26 inch wheel to my newly purchased path 8 which has no chain tensioner like old version. Posted by pema 04/26/2010 01:08:28 AM No, there is currently no 26-inch extension kit for the Path series of trikes. I like the Path 8, but would like the gearing range lowered a bit. It appears that if I swapped the front sprocket from 46T to 34T the range would be 25-78 gear inches. This would allow me to ride some of the steeper hills in town. I realize you have a Path Plus option w/ a Nexus hub that does this for a few hundred dollars more, however it seems like a pretty simple fix by swapping the front sprocket. Is that a possibility? Is the front sprocket a standard bolt pattern? Posted by Gman 07/03/2010 11:03:11 PM Yes, if you are just looking to lower the gear range changing the front chainring will do that. There currently is not a 26-inch extension for the Path. Are there any plans to design one? Posted by Kevin 07/27/2010 06:43:36 AM There are no plans to create a 26-inch extension for the Path. |

The TerraTrike Path is built on a proven platform and shares many elements in common with WizWheelz's most popular models. WizWheelz was very careful about making the Path very affordable, while not making any compromises in quality. The TerraTrike Path has a chromoly steel frame painted in a brilliant "Sunset Gold" color. And just like the 
The most noteable feature of the Path is its internal three-speed hub transmission. Changing gears is very easy, with only one shifter on the trike (shifter can be mounted on the right or left side). This is accomplished by having a single chainring at the front of the trike, and a 3-speed Sturmey-Archer Internal Hub transmission in the rear. For casual cruisers, beginners, and those not needing to deal with a wide variation of terrain, three-speeds makes it easy to enjoy the ride instead of focusing on which gear you are in. The internal gearing solves the issue of only being able to shift while pedaling.
With an internal gear hub, you can shift at any time whether stopped or coasting. And, there is no need to worry about getting stuck in the wrong gear due to improper shifting technique. With a simpler chainline the chain stays where its supposed to. Also, the front 46-tooth chainring comes with a chainguard on both sides of the chain. This means that you won't need to worry about getting your pants, foot, or leg rubbed by an exposed chainring.
Even with the price being only $999, no sacrifices in quality were made. The TerraTrike Path is still equipped with independant dual disk brakes. The left and right brakes are both operated by brake handles on each side of the handlebar and feature Unique YJ-849 Calipers with 160mm Rotors and Promax brake levers. To ensure your Trike won't roll away, The Path comes with a Velcro parking brake that simply attaches around the exsisting brake lever and keeps it engaged. The natural flex of the chromoly steel frame and the 20" x 1.75" CST 40-PSI tires both help to make the Path a very comfortable ride. Also, like many of the other TerraTrikes, the Path has linkage Steering, a breathable mesh seat, and adjustable handlebars. This TerraTrike is equipped with high quality and durable components like lightweight aluminum wheels, and an RPM alloy crankset. The Path comes stock with platform pedals. Truly, TerraTrike has considered all aspects of the casual rider's needs when designing the Path.
