I am new to triking, have ridden on two wheels for the last 30 years. Bought a gorgeous Valkyrie Interstate trike over the week end but am very disappointed. I maybe was expecting too much. I rode this thing home for 900 miles and was scared to death that I was going to wreck the thing. The steering is extremely hard at low speeds and when I hit a bump at low speeds the handlebars want to jump completely out of my hands. I had previously owned a Valkyrie Interstate bike so was familiar with it in two wheel form. I had a local trike shop check it out and they stated that it was operating normaly for a trike but did have "heavy" steering. I am having them add an ez steer kit to see if this will help. The front tire needs replaced as it is worn with slight cupping on the right side. The tire is on order and should be replaced later this week.
I just don't know if the ez steer will correct my issues. Anyone with experience with this type of bike I would greatly appreciate any and all feedback you can provide. If this ez steer does not correct my issues then I am going to sell the trike and like I said maybe I am expecting too much from a trike but want to feel comfortable driving through town with one hand and not have to have a "death grip" on the handle bars at all times.:no:
