Since you think getting in and out will be a problem, I would
suggest the pocket/expedition would better suit you. The Speed and 700 are laid
back more and would be more difficult to exit. Not sure about which would be
more comfortable, that would be a personal preference only you can answer. I
have put in many miles on Speeds and now the 700 and they are really
comfortable for me. I have ridden long distances and many hours with no
problems. The laid back position gets more of the weight off the rear end and
onto the back. That could be good or bad for you, only you can answer that. If any
way possible I would try them all before I bought one.
Just my 2 cents worth.

Hey guys, thanks for the
great place to visit.
Been riding for years, broke
my back a few months ago, looks like I may not be riding a df ever again.
I am thinking about getting an expedition as part of my rehab, and use so I
have something to ride for the future.
I am interested in seat
height as sometimes it is hard to get in and out. I am also interested in
speed and good handling. The only tadpole I have been able to sit in is a
sun ez-tad at the local bike shop. I live in southern Il so it is over a
hundred miles for me to visit a catrike dealer. I plan on visiting one
this weekend, but I have my choice of the dealer with the speed and 700 in
stock, or the dealer with the [pocket and expedition in stock. They are
in different directions so I have to pick one.
Wondering what your thoughts
are on the different models, and how you think one might fit into my
life. Also, the sun has an awesome padded seat. How are the seats
on the cats for comfort?? I love to ride and want to be able to go long
distances again. Have not been on a bike since oct. the withdrawal
is killing me.
Thanks in advance for all
the help.
