Power Grips?

[Patrick]

I have a Sun Easysport model CS recumbent bicycle. Saw a note about
Power Grips in one of these posts the other day, has anyone used these
on the peddles on this model bicycle or does anyone know if they can be
installed on these peddles? The other option would be to replace the
original peddles with the Power Grips installed, hoping I don't have to
go to that expense. Thanks for any information you can offer concerning
this question....

I have tried similar things. Ihave not tried this particular item.
But I don't like to have my feet locked in to the pedals. But that's
just a personal observation.

I have Power Grips on three recumbents, a Tour Easy, BikeE and a Vision.
I am sure they will work well on a Sun. They simply bolt on any
standard rat trap pedals. No need to buy the petals with the Power
Grips already installed unless you don't already have the standard rat
trap petals. Make sure you get the XL size if your shoes are size 12 or
bigger. See :

The Power Grips fit onto the basic Wellgo "cage" platform pedals that
came stock on RANS bicycles in the late 1990s.

The Power Grips work well on a low BB recumbent, such as the Easysport,
in my experience.
