Catrike Trail E-Cat with accessories
We have equipped a Catrike Trail with drivetrain and accessory upgrades. Here are the changes and why we made them.
- Shimano Alfine-8 internal-gearing drivetrain. This drivetrain gives the Trail the following benefits:
- Can be shifted at a standstill in case the rider comes to a stop without remembering to shift down.
- Better derailleur clearance from the ground.
- Better chain clearance from large tires.
- Easier to tune the shifting.
- The ECat controls are mounted on an in-house accessory mount which provides a mount-point for the left-side mirror.
- The left-side mirror-mount is moved to the right side where it gets another in-house accessory mount that provides a mounting point for a phone-mount and another (right-side) mirror.
- A RackTime rear rack intended for the front of a touring bicycle is mounted on the back. The Racktime rack easily and quickly accepts a Racktime basket to carry sundries.
- An in-house rack-stay mount goes strategically on the Trail to stabilize the rack cleanly and strongly. The stay-mount is made of weather-resistant, carbon-fiber infused plastic for strength and durability.
- Low-tech, but effective heel-catching pedals.
- Durable, flat-resistant Schwalbe Marathon Plus tire reduces the chance of flats on the rear wheel which requires a wrench to release the Alfine-8 gear-hub.
Don't wait! Until December 8th, all in-stock Catrike ECat recumbent trikes are on sale at $600-$850 discounts.
