MODELS TO ACCOMMODATE ANY RIDING STYLE AND BUDGET!
More and more people each year are discovering how Triking is a fun, easy, emission-free way to keep fit. TerraTrikes offer a great view of the scenery and an immediate relief from the aches and pains of traditional bicycles.
They are great at replacing your car on short trips while laughing at gas prices. They are well respected in traffic due to their curious shape, and they are easy to transport on traditional bike racks or on a TerraTrike specific hitch rack. TerraTrikes have a comfort level and a cool factor that cannot be denied. Treat yourself to a test ride today, and be part of the solution.
No suggestions for a bottle holder. . . I have a camelback style canteen on the back of my seat. I cinched the shoulder straps as tight as they go, unbuckled the seat back mesh and rebuckled the seat mesh through the shoulder straps. Hindsight being what it is. . . I should have unbuckled the 2 shoulder straps on the camelback and fished them behind the seat mesh buckles. Just a suggestion in case you give up on the bottle carrier. Good luck.
It didn't work for me because I didn't have enough room between the handlebars and my legs but it might work for you.
I was on another trike site and saw someone carrying two bottles upright on the boom oft their bike. I could not see what was holding them but I would love to have the same set up. I have to almost stop and lean forward to reach my bottle on the front of my Rover.
The only place there are holes in the boom (at least on my Rover) is at the very front. I already have the device TT sells to make one bottle sit slanted. I would like the bottles closer to me.
Do you think double sided tape and a strap around the boom would hold this bottle holder upright on the boom?
I also got the TT bottle holder for the front of the boom, and I agree, it's a long reach! I recently installed Versa Bars due to my mobility issues, a water bottle cage can be put on the mounts on the bars and is very convenient and within reach.
I want to put my water bottle holder under my seat (Rambler). I am close, but I need something to clamp the cage to the seat frame (over the mesh fabric without puncturing it). I'll let you know WHEN I figure something out. I would also love any suggestions.
I passed on the Versa bars yesterday $89 I think. Didn't know it would be a long reach for the Mrs. Doubt she would want to drink and steer at same time. Maybe mount cages to the crash helmet and gravity feed into the mouth.
Problem solved. Zip ties, zip ties, zip ties! I fastened the water bottle cage to one of the cross bars under the seat. It faces sideways and slightly up. I should probably put one of the right side as well. Another time, perhaps.
