Mike, I'm diabetic also, and am picking up my USX this coming Saturday. So far, my biggest problem is peripheral neuropathy, especially having pain in my feet....
Hello All, I took my EZ-3 USX in for a tuneup yesterday to Dan's Competition, Mt. Vernon, Indiana. They have a brand new one in the silver and black color...
To minimize foot pain and maximize safety, you may want to consider adding clip-in pedals and cycling shoes to your new bike. Of the available choices, I...
Jim, I am getting pedals with toe clips - need to check with the dealer to find out what kind they are putting on. Cycling shoes may be a problem, as I need...
I have wide feet too, and of the available choices, the Pearl Izumi tennis shoe-like models of cycling shoes fit me best, for that reason. Shimano used to make...
I got it yesterday, and have not ridden it yet - still want to buy a safety flag. Recumbent trikes are so low to the ground that I would not ride without the...
The USX is not as low slung as a tadpole but, whatever makes you feel comfortable. I found that clipping (2) LED flashers on the seatback work well as an...
I ordered a batteryless LED dynamo and light set, which will take a couple of weeks to get (airmail from England). In the meantime, it looks like I will use...
I have the batteryless LEDs on my USX and will soon put them on my wife's Wizwheelz. They are quite bright, but there is no substitute for alertness. I also...
I've been thinking that getting a trike is a sign that I am entering my second childhood. I can wait for the diaper-wearing stage! Steve - feeling the raages...
I too recommend cycling shoes, but if your foot doctor doesn't want you wearing cycling shoes there is another option. If you do a Google search for Lightfoot...
Mike, I test my blood sugar twice a day, and am working on tightening my control - I was diagnosed about 2 years ago. My podiatrist had custom orthotics made...
When my USX was set up, the clamp that holds the derraileur to the frame was not tight enough, and it quickly went out of adjustment. Is it fairly easy to...
Depends on how hard it is to get the bike back to the dealer for them to adjust, I expect. Temporarily, you can manually push the chain onto the chainwheel you...
I know that Sun was coming out with a new USX sometime this year; does anyone know when or if it has already? The reason I ask is today I finally went to the...
I can easily take it to the dealer - I drive an Expedition, and it has gobs of roomminside with the seats folded. I'd rather know how to adjust it myself,...
it's come up a couple of times in other forums about the availability of the new usx. it is the moderator's understanding that models should be appearing at...
Hi Steve, The front derailleur isn't that difficult to adjust. I was a bike mechanic back in the day. First, move the shifter to put slack in the cable. Loosen...
Mike, I will try it. Should that not work, it will be easy enough to take the bike back to the dealer for adjustment. Steve ... bike mechanic back in the day....
All, I mounted a wireless bike computer today, and have received the LED light / dynamo generator set. The computer was easy enough to install, since the USX...
I installed a 3/4" PVC rack to my seatback using tubing clamps. I have L.E.D. lights, my dynamo rear light and an IGo Ipod Stereo mount attached to the top...
Very useful rack! Thanks for posting the photos. Sue _____ From: ez3usx@yahoogroups.com [mailto:ez3usx@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Terry Klein Sent:...
Great idea - looks like the materials would be inexpensive as well! Thanks for posting the photos. ... have ... attached to ... down the ... Behalf Of ... a ...
All, I'm having some difficulty finding a safety flag locally. With LED lighting, is it necessary to have a flag as well? Worst case, I can use the flag that...
I fly an American flag on an aluminum pole, tie-wrapped to my frame. The best thing to have is mirrors on both sides of your trike. All this stuff is only an...
I will be installing two bar-end mirrors, scavenged from my motorcycle, which is sitting in the garage. Steve ... frame. The best thing to have is mirrors on...
Last year I avoided a crash on a local recreation trail with an in-line skater who only saw me because of my flag, tall plants obscured the rest of the trike....
I bought my safety flag at Wal-Mart for less than $10. I attached it to the frame with tie wraps. I also hang an American flag off of the seat frame....
