Not sure that I'm all that bothered about three wheel drive - two seems to work pretty well anyway in most conditions, but it would be fun to try in snow... and the extra drive chain can presumably be removed easily enough if it adds too much noise/drag/weight for normal riding.

I'm inclined to agree with you about the desirability of the 'third wheel' drive. On the other hand, I'm a lightweight, and have found I can lose traction powering up slight inclines and loose surfaces, even with non-slick tires. I wonder if the 3 wheel drive would be of use for light riders? Peter B. ----- Would you like to to post a message or a reply? Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
