Greetings From Washington and Question

Greetings, I'm new to this forum and my wife and I are about to purchase two recumbent trikes.

Does anyone have any recommendation between a 5.5.9 and a Dumont? My wife and I are looking to get two for riding along the Olympic Discovery Trail, over 100 miles on a paved trail, and also many different surfaces. Any suggestions between the two?

Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Welcome to Bike Forums.

As this is the Introductions forum you aren't likely to get your question seen by those who can help you. Please repost your inquiry in our Recumbent Bikes forum. https://www.bikeforums.net/recumbent/

Welcome! The recumbent forum people will be glad to help. I own a trike but it’s an ICE so not qualified to answer but the people in the bent forum will.
