you a quick look at Inspired Cycle Engineering's new "budget" Tricen.
Still not cheap, and there's things like the Steins available for less,
but those wanting a recumbent trike while only having to hold up garages
and corner shops rather than banks now have a bit more choice...

They look good - using the same frame materials as the more expensive
models but with the equipment is at a lower end of the scale -
Sora/Acera 8spd etc.

This should make more riders take the plunge to the dark side.

It seems ICE now make an incredible 18 different models in their
'standard' range as well as making specials like the back to back tandem.
There's something for everyone.

The new ICE Q is like the XL, which is a nice trike. It looks much the same
frame and seat, so I expect for all purposes you've got most of the trike
for about just over half the price.

Of course, if you start adding extras, I expect things would get expensive.

Not thinking of buying another nike/trike Peter ? My limiting factor is space.

Not *much* less these days - we've had to put the prices up to cope with
increased raw material and import costs unfortunately. Start price on a
Road Shark is going to be around £1400....

Its interesting, and good to see some competition. I wonder if ICE and
Greenspeed are competing head to head more, based on quite direct comments
about steering technology on ICE's site. Both manufacturers now also
provide drum braked models in the sub-£2000 area. The competition is
perhaps a sign that trikes are becoming more popular and more accepted.

I feel happier telling people more about where I got mine, knowing there's
more chance they could afford the thing. People ask me about mine, and for
all I know they may be millionaires just doing a street cleaning type job
and living on a council estate, but I'm afraid I sometimes feel a bit
embarrassed by the price.

I know it took quite some saving up so it wasn't just a case of being
stupidly rich and going out and blowing that kind of money, and it is
cheaper than a second car, but it is a bit of a luxury. Good fun though,
and its getting well used. 3 weeks of cycling to work on it has really done
my hill climbing abilities wonders.
