Catrike Folding TRAIL trike just released!

Looks pretty darn sweet:

Introducing the new Catrike Folding Trail. With convenient folding features it is easy to store and transport. With a padded seat it is luxuriously comfortable. Best of all it performs like a Catrike.

I expect to be trying this trike this weekend. Excited! We'll see if it folds down enough to get into our car....

Fingers crossed for you Dave! And have fun with the test ride...

The Catrike folding Trail does indeed fold, but folding said trike is good for basically one thing: storage. The back wheel folds down between the two front wheels, and it sticks out. Which means folding the bike actually makes it harder to get into your SUV because instead of "rolling" the trike in, you have to lift it in, and then lift-scooch, lift-scooch to wedge it in, with all the weight on the rear tire that is tucked under the bike. And you can't flip it over and roll it in, because the gear shifters then take all the weight of the bike.

Yes, it folds for easier storage in your garage, but that is the only benefit I saw with this folding technology. Pass for this rider.

Rats..... Dave, did you test a Greenspeed GT1? It folds, but is still "rollable"....
