Reviewed By Adulttricyclereview.com
Sun bicycle has been building quality adult tricycles for over forty
years and has become the largest seller of adult tricycles in the
world. I personally know Jack and Ben, the owners at Sun Bicycles, and
there are no harder working guys in the bike business. Sun Bicycle’s
philosophy has always been to offer good quality products at a low
price and then stand behind the product. Sun Bicycle has just recently
upgraded there industrial tricycle and changed the name from the Atlas
Deluxe to the Atlas Transit.
Frame:
The frame on the Sun Atlas Transit is MIG welded together in Taiwan and
has a 250 Lbs. capacity. The frame is easily put together by bolting
the rear section to the front by using four bolts. Sun offers the
trike in two colors, Yellow and Black.
Gearing: The stock set up of the Sun Atlas Transit
is a one speed freewheel. Most factory and industrial users will add
the coaster brake kit to the trike so the trike can be stopped by
pedaling a quarter turn backwards with the pedals. Sun also offers a
three speed and five speed coaster brake kit which is a nice addition
if you have to ride up a ramp or hill.
Braking:
The Sun Atlas Transit uses a “V” style front brake which is welded to
the fork of the trike. The “V” brake comes with oversize brake pads and
can stop the trike more than sufficiently. The braking will vary
depending on which wheel set you choose. The best stopping can be
achieved on the aluminum rim followed by the steel rim and then the mag
wheels.
Seat: Big, oversize and with springs, all of our
trike testers feel the stock seat is of good quality and more than
comfortable enough.
Ride: We like the ride on the Sun trikes. The
cranks are positioned a bit farther forward which gives the Atlas
Transit a more recreational feel and adds stability. While moving the
cranks farther forward helps stability, it also makes riding the trike
standing a bit more awkward. The Atlas Transit handing is precise and
predictable and all of our testers thought Sun has offered up a good
designed product.
Wheels: Sun offers lot of wheel choices for the
Atlas Transit. The stock set up is with Mag Wheel, you can also get
aluminum wheels which come with aluminum hubs and stainless steel
spokes or steel rims with heavy duty spokes. The mag wheels are molded
from a plastic like material which will not rust and should not get
out of true. A popular option is tire liner to help prevent flat tires
or solid tires.
Other Stuff:
Large rear basket, front fender and reflector set are included. Sun
also paints the handlebars, cranks and other parts to make the trike
very corrosion resistant.
Pros: The Atlas Transit
brings safety, durability and stability to everyone who rides this
well built trike. Features sealed crank, headset and rear axle
bearings, extra wide saddle with springs, heavy duty rear basket and
three different types of wheel to choose from. The frame is MIG welded
together and the construction is solid. The trike is very corrosion
resistant; paint is applied evenly and consistently to not only the
frame but the other parts as well.
Cons: Only a 250 Lbs weight limit
