Building your own TerraTrike stand

If you like to tinker, tweak, tune up, and mess with your trike having a stand is invaluable. Some friends have given us the details on how they built their stand.

Modifying the ATC-2000 camera for better audio and video

Schwalbe Stelvio Racing Tires

The Schwalbe Stelvio tire is the only tire that Schwalbe lists in both the Racing and Recumbent sections of their website. Ashley takes the Stelvios on the road and reports his findings.

Schwalbe Marathon Plus Tires

If you are looking for some tires that are faster than the stock CST rubber, and you need something nearly bullet proof, then the Marathon Plus tires may do the trick.


Affixing a video camera to your trike

There's nothing quite like going on an exhilirating ride than to be able to watch it over, and over again. Having someone record you while riding can be fun, but actually having a camera on the trike is even better!


Mirror Modification

When you're low to the ground you want to make sure that you are aware of your surroundings. The stock mirror is helpful, but we can make it better.


WizWheelz TerraTrike Cruiser

Could this be the greatest trike value available today. Me thinks yes! Here are my thoughts after putting thousands of miles on my own cruiser.


Trike away the pounds

The only way to shed pounds is if you're having so much fun, it doesn't feel like exercise. Read about how I accomplished this with a recumbent trike and turn your daily commute into a cardio workout.
