One of the hottest trends in the market- both 2 and 3 wheelers- has been Fat Tires. And who wouldn’t want one? They are a blast to ride on rough roads, trails and sand. In all honesty though for most of us, it’s not going to be your only ride. In addition, because of the nature of what you will be riding a Fat Trike on- your Fat Tire trike is likely to take more of a beating than your shiny pampered road trike.
With this in mind we set out to design a Fat Trike that would meet certain criteria:
Affordable: Again- this is not likely to be your only Trike, is going to take more of a beating than your other Trike, going to ride in Mud, Snow, Sand etc- so you don’t want to invest a fortune in it.
Foldable: Since our premise is that it will be sharing space in your garage with your rides, and the fact that Fat Tire Trikes are just BIG- it would be nice if it took up a little less space.
Unsuspended: There are 2 schools of thought on this obviously, and of the Fat Tire Trikes in production now, ICE & Sun, use suspension, Azub, and we do not. Here is our reasoning- First they are Fat Tires (duh) ! You are running these at approximately 10PSI- this gives you all the suspension you need. Secondly suspension- especially nice suspension- adds a lot of cost, weight, and complexity.
Fun: Fat Tire Trikes are great fun to ride, but if you have ridden all the brands- you will definitely realize some steer and ride way better than others. Great handling and comfort is a must
