craftyhunnypie Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 What a fab trike Helly! Wow that basket is big enough to put a dog in or even a baby!!! I'd be tempted in the summer months to load a picnic basket in that basket and find a quiet spot all to myself. I love the colour of it too! It's a beast!

Helly Welly Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 That is soooooo coooooool. You must cutomise it. I thought it was hard naming chooks but now you've got to name the super trike. Look out Formula 1 here she comes. vrooooooooooooooooooom The trike has already been named. The old one was called Claude, this one is called Monty. And before you ask, i have no idea why, it's just the name that popped into my head when i looked at it Tessa, the battery is housed under the basket so it doesn't affect the stability at all.

Olly Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Wow that basket is big enough to put a dog in or even a baby!!! ... or a chicken! It looks gorgeous - how lovely for you to be able to whizz past people, and go whereever you want. I do love it when a plan works out!

little chickadee Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 wow that's brilliant. I'm so pleased for you. My Hubbie thinks one of these might be a better Idea for me than the one I've got, as I could just sit on it for a while if I was tired. Will pm you for details to investigate.

little chickadee Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I'm just off to Peterborough to look at the other Demo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helly Welly Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 ooohhh how exciting, good luck, i hope you like it No one will be safe on the roads now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little chickadee Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Reserved it - it's brilliant!! Got totally lost on the way there though because my brother has my sat nav. It's a 5 speed silver one It just makes so much more sense than my other electric bike because I can sit down when I'm stationary and it has the option of being totally powered by the battery, which my other one doesn't. I'm picking it up next wednesday with the trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

little chickadee Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 We now have my Tryke and seeing as I've been instructed to name it......................... he is called Wilbur (we've just finished reading Charlottes Web with my 6 yr old!) I've only been down the road on it so far, but will be exploring more over the hols. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 What a great photo! Your DS looks quite at home snuggled up in there. How lovely for you to be able to go out and about, and for him to rest his legs. You could get a lot of chickens in a basket that size! Sorry, did I say chickens? I meant shopping, of course.

The Dogmother Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Brilliant photo LC - and he's not a tiny lad either, so it must be a huge basket. I'd love to cycle along with a basket full of hens - wouldn't that look just great? It's so good that you can get around under your own steam now and without collapsing under the strain How long does the charge last? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little chickadee Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I'm not sure yet re the charge Claret - it still seemed to have plenty of battery left after a long trip. All the pedestrians were exhausted!! You're right he's not a small lad - the basket is HUGE!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Hmmm, I wonder whether you could trickle charge the battery from a smallish solar panel - Phil would know, i'll ask him. Sorry, my eco-firendly mind wokring overtime and wondering if it's possible.. The Green Shop sell a car battery trickle charger and I bet the battery on your lovely trike is the same.... Hmmmm Does the trike have a bell? "triing, triiing!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little chickadee Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Ah - I understand the link you tried to send me about the charger now - I thought it was intended for someone else The trike does indeed have a bell - not terribly loud though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
