2006 Ice Trice S Recumbant Trike, Super Light Folding Trike
The 2006 Ice Trice S is a super light folding trike built for comfortable urban riding and everyday commuting. It's a recumbent design, which means you sit back in a relaxed position rather than leaning forward over the bars like a conventional bike. The steel frame comes in a large size finished in vibrant orange, and the recumbent seating position takes the strain off your back and neck during longer rides. This is a unisex machine, so it suits riders of different builds and preferences.
The trike comes fitted with mudguards front and rear, which keep spray and dirt off your clothes and gear during wet weather riding. The seller has added several useful extras to this particular machine: an extra padded seat cover for added comfort, a rear view mirror so you can check what's coming up behind you, a water bottle adapter to keep hydration within reach, and additional front wheel mudguards for better coverage. These extras make the trike more practical for regular use without needing to source and fit accessories yourself.
Recumbent trikes handle differently to upright bikes. The low centre of gravity and three-point contact with the ground give you stability, particularly useful if you're new to cycling or prefer a more planted feel. There's no suspension fitted, which keeps the weight down and means you're relying on the frame and tyres to absorb bumps—typical for this style of trike. The recumbent position also means you get good visibility without twisting your neck, and your weight is distributed across the seat rather than concentrated on the saddle.
This trike is suited to riders looking for a comfortable, different approach to cycling, whether for short trips around town or longer recreational rides where comfort matters more than speed.
