Subject: EZ-3 Owner Reviews???
I am looking to buy a Delta Trike
or a Quad but would consider a
CHEAP alternative like the EZ-3
if I was convinced it was worth the
money and could carry a substantial
amount of groceries in one trip.

As I recall, it has a dinky little basket
on it, and was wondering if anyone who
owns one has CUSTOMIZED it with a
bigger basket.

I own an EZ-1 and enjoy it for trips up
to 30 - 60 miles but need something to
go to the ket with. I would love to
be essentially car free soon and the EZ-3
seems it would be desirable if it holds enough
junk in the da trunk.

And no, I really don't want to pull a trailer
even though Wally World has one for $110
that might work.

I appreciate any helpful feedback.

I did not like the EZ-3. I sold mine on ebay after having it for a few
months. I particularly didn't like the fact that because the drive train
only turns one of the rear wheels, the trike had a great deal of pedal
steer.

Ask specific questions and I'll tell you more about my experience with it.

Don,

The EZ-3 is a fine trike. With a little tubing, bar ends etc., you might
be surprised at what you can do with it. Get it with the full fairing.
Forget the basket. Re-inforce the seat back and hang you a good backpack
in the rear.
