WELCOME TO THE COMFORT & EXCITEMENT OF RECUMBENT TRIKES!

Our mission at "RecumbentTrikes - Canada" is to introduce the comfort, excitement and FUN of recumbent triking to Canadians.
We are pleased & excited to be a Central Ontario dealer for C A TR I K E .
Catrike was named "Trike of the Year"; for the past SIX CONSECUTIVE YEARS (2003 to 2008! ) by recumbent enthusiasts at BentRiderOnline!
Latest Catrike to win was the economical Catrike Villager. It was chosen by a vote of recumbent riders. Easy to mount and dismount and showing typical Catrike quality, were given as reasons!

RED CATRIKE 700 IN ACTION (some mods) --- CATRIKE EXPEDITION IN ACTION --- CATRIKE 700 IN RAGBRAI TOUR

Over the 6 years of our involvement with Catrike we've seen them develop from probably the most economical, lightest trikes around, into some of the most highly refined, high performance, quality machines available. Catrike is backed by a limited lifetime frameset warranty.
Catrikes can hold their own in quality workmanship, and performance with some of the most expensive trikes available in the world... in our view. Don't take our word for it, investigate for yourself. E-mail us to arrange your own, extensive Catrike test ride.
Please browse our site & its links to learn all about this the wonderful world of recumbent trikes. Compare Catrike quality, weight, handling, performance and price with all other trikes. You might start with: Greenspeed Windcheetah, and Wizwheelz etc..

Some people with SPECIAL HEALTH NEEDS find that recumbent trikes provide unique, stable access to exercise, transportation and recreation which may no longer be available to them on regular bikes. Investigate for yourself. Test ride a Catrike!

Our thoughts and riding experiences with electric assist + E-cyling to Kingston.

Thoughts on Electric Assist - Personal Ups & Downs Cycling Orillia to Kingston
Compare performance, weight, prices of various electric motors.
Note that eZee motor is now available in rear wheel drive also, which means it will work with tadpole trikes such as Catrike.
This summer we will be trying it on our Bacchetta, 2 wheel recumbent. Will let you know if it is as good as it sounds after that.

CATRIKE EXPEDITION IN ACTION IN ORILLIA
Although the Expedition in this video is totally human powered, Expeditions are perhaps an ideal vehicle for electric assist.
They offer roominess, comfort, great handling and good speed.
