I've been looking for a long time to find something I can ride on the nature trail close to my house. I'm 55, fat, lazy, and a weakling. I also have a balance disorder that won't allow me to use a two-wheeled velocipede. I've purchased and returned several vehicles that looked like great fun and great exercise, but were too hard to pedal or otherwise make them move. I was quite discouraged. Other recumbent trikes caught my eye, but they were too pricey.
I took delivery of the Mobo Triton Pro in early February, and it sat in its box in my foyer while winter continued to rage on. We finally had relief from it just this past week. My son assembled my trike (the Youtube video is very helpful!) yesterday and it went back to the foyer to wait out the rain. :-P
Today the sun finally peeked out between the clouds and the temperature was perfect! So I took the trike out to my driveway for its maiden voyage. OH MY GOODNESS, I'm so excited and happy! It rides smoothly, the seat is comfortable, I can pedal just fine, and the trike manages the slight slope of my driveway very well. Steering became intuitive quickly (I'm a klutz) and the brakes work great. The turn radius is really wide, which might bother some, but I should be fine on the trail, which is pretty straight and level. the trike doesn't pedal in reverse, but I learned a 3-point turn which let me turn around at the base of the driveway and pedal back up to the street. I just put my feet on the ground as needed and pushed myself backward. No problemo!
I made probably ten laps that way, to get the feel of pedaling and steering, and I can't wait to take it out on the trail! I can tell already it's going to be so much fun and get me in shape this summer! I was panting when I sat down after just the short time I'd been riding, and my thighs and shoulders are a bit achy LOL!
I had been concerned that I wouldn't get much of a workout in my upper body, but I can tell steering and breaking are going to get my arms working quite a bit, too.
I can't rave about the Mobo Triton Pro enough! It's going to get this sedentary old lady in shape and keep her active into her "golden" years! I highly recommend this vehicle for anyone, but particularly those of us getting older and wanting to get, or stay, active and have fun doing it!
