My son, Kenny started riding recumbents when he was 15 on a Vision R40, but did not enjoying riding with us much until we got a Greenspeed GTO for my sons to...
I bought a Greenspeed GT3 in November, 2007. My key requirement, like yours, was easy folding. The GT3 folds quickly (a couple of minutes) into my Toyota...
It felt good to get back on the GT3 today and actually be able to go somewhere other than the plowed path around our lake. The entire 10 mile paved off-road...
Today was cold (22 degrees at 7AM, rising to about 44 by 2PM) but clear and sunny, and the latest 2" snowfall is finally off all the roads, sidewalks and bike...
It only makes about an inch of difference, but in the Prius, that inch matters :) By the way, our Prius is a 2002 model, so the newer one may have a different...
The recent 20% off sale at REI included the CatEye SingleShot Plus integrated (no separate battery pack) rechareable headlight, the first time I've seen it...
Tonight was the night I finally tried cramming both our Greenspeed GT3 and our HP Velotechnik Scorpion fx into the back seat of our 2002 Toyota Prius....
I was wondering if anyone in the group has had experience with the 16" Kenda "Kwest" tires. I've used these on my roadbikes in the past and have been very...
Can't speak for the 16" Kenda's but our Sun EZ3-USX came with a 20" Kenda. When one got a flat, I was happy to replace it with a Marathon because the Kenda was...
I have a Greenspeed GTR and last year I installed three Schwalbe Marathon Plus. The main reasons for deciding on these was they are as close as you are going...
I have a Greenspeed GTR and currently have Greenspeed Scorcher Kevlar's installed. I have a year's riding on them on pavement and no flats so far. I am a bit...
Walt, Thank you for the insight. I hadn't realized that Greenspeed offered a kevlar version of the Scorcher. I'll have to look into that. Again, the wear...
At this point it seems a reasonable sacrifice (speed for staility). I'm no speed demon to start with, so they are something to consider. As I've said, I'm a...
I've also had the "thorn proof" tire tubes on my GTO, and have found them to weigh a ton and carrying a spare is a major concession as far as room. They just...
Perhaps this is old news to some here, but it was a new find for me this evening, a Greenspeed Owners Resource Page: http://129.79.22.9/greenspeed/index.html ...
Hey Gang, I am new to the board but have been riding recumbents for years. Test drove a greenspeed x5 and could not resist. Will be buying or ordering one at...
Congratulations. At first you may be convinced you have to have a headrest @~$120. Ride 200 miles first and you may find you aren't missing the headrest at...
Have GTO. 1. Flags - I use two of different shapes and colors. 2. Lights - bright, flashing, potential for day and nite. 3. Clipless pedals and shoes 4. Rear...
... I'm of the opposite view and consider the headrest essential on my GTR. This is especially true of longer rides. Otherwise I get sore neck muscles holding...
... I had a Greenspeed scorcher kevlar chopped right through the kevlar belt on BRAG, while doing 40 - 50mph down a long hill. The fun part was I'd left my...
Clipless pedals are an absolute must. If your foot slips off a trike pedal while moving there is a high chance of running over your lower leg and having one of...
Thanks for all of the great replies. I will try to address a few of them. As far as disc brakes go, I believe that they come standard on the X5, if they do...
I can't speak too highly of the Crank Brothers Pedals. I converted several years ago and my wife got her first set last week and thinks they're superior to her...
... The weight of the fenders is absolute trivia, if you notice that you need to ride more to get in shape. I have the original Sachs hydraulic disc brakes on...
I understand some electric motors for bicycles and tricycles can be used to assist (rather than replace) peddling. If so, that might provide a way for my wife...
Haven't done this but you should consider asking the Greenspeed people about this ( greenspeed.com.au ) .? They have a link to bionx on their web site, so this...
... To add just a bit to this, I found a Google reference to use of a BionX electric assist system on the Greenspeed site by a dealer, but it mentioned the...
I recommend joining the forum at www.atomiczombie.com Throw your question out in the general discussion forum and sit back! There are guys on that board who...
