  1. 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 market 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.

    The Sun EZ-3 is a delta trike.

  3. 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.

    Thanks for the cool link on resources.
    I already read the Bentrider review and
    have set on one once when they first
    came out but never rode one.

    I am definitely going to consider it.

  6. 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.
