Suggestions for Catrike All Road rack and accessories?
My new Catrike All Road etrike makes it possible for me to ride again (I have leg strength/balance issues due to stroke). LOVE IT! Have gone for several 8-10 mile rides with no issues, very comfortable.
It fits in the back of my 2012 Nissan Murano, very hard for husband to lift, and I can’t lift it without help. It won’t fit in back of husband’s Ford Escape.
Any ramp suggestions? I could lift the back wheel when rolling it up/down. There are several options on Amazon.
Is there a rack option that would work on his Escape? In a year or two, he’ll be looking for a new car, and I may end up with the Escape. His rack MAY have an option for a trike adapter. My current rack also may have a compatible adapter.
Would a cargo platform work? Trike is at least 72” deployed, doesn’t fold. I tried out the folders (Dumont, etc) but they were very hard to get out of as they’re lower. I wasn’t into the Villager or Max.
Any other accessory suggestions? I need to make a scabbard for my cane, will probably use some neoprene that I already have. Will move one of my bike bells over, as I don’t think I’ll ride my fitness bike outdoors again, due to my fall risk. I was already real good at toppling over at slow/no speed before the stroke.
Will probably get a set of assist bars, Utah Trikes had something compatible that’s about half the cost of the stock Catrike handles.
