Anyone who says that every Tadpole Recumbent Trike is pretty much the same hasnt ridden every trike. Each brand has its own feel. And each model, or model class within the brands, usually has its own feel.
The Villager has a seat height of 12.5, which is higher than other standard recumbent tadpole trikes. At first, I thought this might make the trike unstable at high speeds.
The standard color of the Villager is white, but can be painted any of the available Catrike optional colors for $99-$149 depending on which custom color you choose. The Villager supports a rider weight of up to 275lbs. It has a comfortable mesh seat that has a reclined angle of 50 degrees and a width of 14". It will accept an X-Seam range of 39" to 46", or with an optional extra long boom up to 53". The angles of the villager frame place your feet almost directly in front of you, rather than slightly elevated like the other Catrike models. I also felt that the seat angle and higher riding height really seems to minimize the road vibrations I felt as a rider, making the experience a very comfortable one. The Villager has 20 tires all around, giving you the advantage of only having to carry one size spare tube. The steering of the Villager is excellent as is the turning radius. If youre looking for a Recumbent Trike thats easy to get in and out of and want to keep the superior stability of a tadpole trike, the Catrike Villager from Big Cat HPV is a very good choice.
