Catrike Folding Trail
The comfort and portability of a padded seat on a fully adjustable, foldable frame. Featuring three 20-inch wheels and a low center of gravity, it is the most compact Catrike when folded.
Features
- Compact Folding Frame
- Three 20-Inch Wheels
- 30-Speed Drivetrain
- Schwalbe Marathon Racer tires
Seat position (seat height, width and recline): moderate. Similar to 559 and Dumont.
Editorial: the Trail has historically been our next-best-seller (behind the Villager). It’s a bit lower in the seat -which -like the 559- is a goldilocks fit for folks of a little less stature. When Janet and Mel are traveling and need the perfect trike to put on an airplane, we’re riding Trails. You can see some packed and padded for air travel on our website

VIDEO PLAYLIST
DUMONT
A mechanic’s ride through Ladds Addition and Colonial Heights.
Our little kitty’s a dreamboat!!
The Dumont’s sport suspension eliminates the rough ride of chip seal and rails-to-trails while providing a tight grip on the road!
Tight hairpins and s-curves fly by effortlessly!
A boom-mounted full-frame digital camera gives the best view ever of the Dumont’s superb front suspension at work.
Now, we don’t want to give the Dumont’s Monarch Rockshox rear air suspension the short-shrift, so we better get cracking on a video of it!!
An early ride down Tabor demonstrating the front suspension smoothing the ride while giving just a little more steering stability.
That last bit of potholed trail -starting at about the 2 minute mark- shows the Dumont really earning its stripes!
