  1. I currently have a 2 year old EZ-3 Trike with a Currie Power Assist, a
    2001 Rans Rocket and a Quadribent. The EZ-3 was for my wife. Now that I
    have the Quadribent, my wife doesn't use the EZ-3 but I have fallen in
    love with it and rarely use the Rocket. I am considering selling the
    Rocket and the EZ-3 (I don't use the Power Assist) and getting a
    different trike. I'm wondering if the difference between my current
    trike and the EZ-3 AX is substantial enough to warrant the price
    difference. I'm not interested in speed, just exercising my 67 year old
    bod on 10 to 20 mile (mostly) rail/trail rides. I also wonder if the
    EZ-3 USX would be a (more) comfortable ride. Or would you suggest
    something other than the EZ line? A tadpole? I don't want to spend more
    than $2000 and I like the high seating position of the EZ line vs the
    tadpole pics that I've seen. Just looking for advice!
    Thanks, Bob Kline

  2. Hi, Bob,
    I also own an EZ-3 and can't imagine why you would want another
    bike/trike. I'm 55 years old and quite overweight, which probably
    equalizes some difference between us and how we both wish to ride and
    how far. I just love my EZ-3 (no- I don't have the motor booster). Why
    not use your EZ-3 for your jaunts? I hope you aren't just "equipment
    happy." (Actually, I'm a little that way for musical instruments.)
    Whatever you do, Bob, just keep on doing...

  3. The EZ Tadpole should be out before x-mas. Might be just what you're looking
    for. A little more sporty, but a higher seat than most tadpoles.

    What motor booster?

  5. He's referring to a Currie electric assist that I put on the EZ-3 for my
    wife. I'm gonna sell the bike with the Currie as soon as the EZ-3
    Tadpole hits the market.

    Thanks for the info! We were/are looking at the crystalyte hub motors
    for my wifes EZ-3AL, and are always curious as to what other people
    have decided to use.
