Trailmate Meteor Trike

I bought this 3-spd for about half price on CraigsList. It got me out of the house and made me challenge the rolling hills where I live. I chug up for 30 minutes in low, then turn around and speed downhill back to home, coasting all the way. I highly recommend. No butt or back pressure. Just legs and thighs.

Made in the USA was a big deal for me. I looked up how long Traimate has been in business and I was shocked to see they started in 1977. I also looked at their Better Businesss Bureau rating and it was A+. I purchased my Meteor in the twenty one speed version. My trike was shipped to me fully assembled and all I had to do was just adjust the seat for my leg length and adjust the handlebars. The pricing on the Meteor is below what some of the other similar trikes are on the market. Other brands are imported from some land of cheap labor. I have been happy with my Meteor, the only thing I am not thrilled about is the shape of the handlebars. I would have preferred to have my hands more straight across like a traditional bike handlebar rather than my hands more straight up and down.

I love this trike. I can ride all over and not worry about losing my balance. Due to back issues, I needed a seat with back support and this one is great. It is so comfortable! It is also low enough that it is easy to get on it even with knee issues. This trike makes exercising so much fun!!

<p>I have a number of medical issues including Parkinson's. I use the Meteor about 4-6 times a week doing between 4-12 miles each time. The Trike provides exercise and weight control and has improved my general physical condition and balance. I have a red 3 speed and have added safety equipment, water bottle and basket. I choose the Meteor because the seating is comfortable and at a good height for a minimal spinal stress dismounting. I am 5'11 and weight 235lbs and it fly's, I have been pulled over for speeding. I also meet a lot of interested girls.</p>
