Be nice to add a Cornish flag to go with the Stars & Stripes.....another place that has difficulty with the English.

Almost no ground clearance! Road use only.

@infinitewisdom4u They do make them for this trike. My neck isn't bothered at all with the seat at max recline, but others might find it useful!

I have just completed my first 200km on my Q-26, my first trike. The seat was very hard but I have cushioned it now and it is fine. At the moment it is quite a bit slower than my regular bike but so much easier to ride. In the morning after a long ride there are no aches and pains anywhere. I am so pleased I bought one, i just need to train more now.

@steveindenmark Yep, there seems to be a give and take with all the different styles of bikes. Regular upright bikes do seem typically faster than trikes by about three MPH, but the trikes are definitely more comfortable and much better for taking in the sights. I think you'll find that if you keep training you'll get much faster on the trike than you are now, as those specific muscles build up.

When you ride do you get neck strain?
It seems like you have to hold your head away from the seat. I have noticed this with all recumbants.
If the back of the seat went a little higher you could put a head rest on it.
Does it come standard with 3 fenders?

Hi,
Nope, I don't get neck strain, but you can buy a head rest for most trikes and the seat on this one is adjustable so you can raise it up if needed. A rear fender is standard and you can purchase front fenders if you're going to ride in the rain.
