Many trike owners start with a TerraTrike because of the comparative lower prices, large dealer base, and still quality trikes. The Rover is where I started. It is heavy 44+ pounds dependent on configuration), it's greatly customizable, and has a rider weight limit of
#400 . I's great as a starter trike. I bought my wife a TerraTrike Traveler, and put a 24" rear wheel and a NuVinci 380 hub, and she loves it! I have since moved to a Catrike 559. My next trike will have suspension, as these old bones don't like be jostled around.
