We had ICE come to the shop today with a selection of toys for folk to try, including the beast. A number of people asked why anyone would want a full fat trike. I thought for a while and all I could really say was that if you had to ask the question, you would never understand the answer
The full fat is absolutley bonkers. What better reason to want one? It was a hoot to ride. This example is fitted with a Rohloff X1 14 speed tin of gears so was nice and smooth. Ascending was a bit of a struggle to start with but I soon got into it. Riding around the park, looking for lumpy bits had me wishing I had time to get into the woods to really play. Sadly, the ICE boys needed to get back to Falmouth.
I am now in big trouble as I really wants one my preciousssssssss.
