Good evening all!! I am new to this site and also to trikes in general. I am also a recent lower right leg amputee and have some questions regarding trikes. I lost my lower right leg back in February so I felt the need to sell my my two wheel touring bike due to balance issues and lack of reverse for putting it in the garage. So I guess I am looking for any helpful advice as I begin to look for a trike. I know I need to do some test riding of different bikes to see what will fit me best but I am wondering what some of you all ride and any pros or cons etc.
I am a fairly tall guy at 6'5" and with my prosthetic leg position is kind of important as I have trouble bending my leg back very much. Any thoughts on traditional trikes vs something like a Can Am Spyder or Stallion? Also in terms of trike kits are there any brands that are better than others or any to stay away from? I really want something that will be reliable and not broke down all the time. Thanks in advance for your help and info. I don't want this to become a brand bashing thread I just want to now from you guys that have trike experience what works good for you. I am open to any brand as I just want something that will work best with my disability.:wave4:
