This is my second ride on Daunell's Sun EZ-3 USX HD Trike. This route generally contains hills that are more gradual than Saturday's ride. There is the last hill that is the same hill as Saturday's ride and is the steepest of them all. This ride is also twice as long.
Things I noticed this ride:
1) The wandering I felt was almost solely due to my getting used to the steering mechanism - along with the fact that the handlebars are adjusted for Daunell and not for me (i.e., I have to read a little). This causes a lot of the wander in my steering, which only happens when I reach for the water bottle;
2) There was not any noticeable pull to the left from the single rear wheel drive (my interpretation is that the hills were not steep enough, though I didn't even feel it on the steepest hill where I noticed it on my last ride. The difference is that I was just riding and not trying to ride fast);
3) Many of the complaints I had from my last ride are greatly diminished with more experience on this trike. Some of the change is due to getting used to it. Others is due to just riding and not trying to be fast.
With this ride being about just making the distance and not worrying about my speed, I still averaged a higher speed. Granted, the hills were less steep, but that also means the downhills were less steep. My last ride I hit over 38 MPH for a max speed going down hill. On this one, it is in the 20s. Today's ride was more reasonable and more representative of the general ride that will happen - though the uphill on my last ride is a hill I would take every day on my commute. However, It would be just as I was starting out and I would be taking it easy and not trying to race it.
In summary, the more I ride this trike, the more I like it. It is not a racer, but it is a comfortable general purpose human powered machine. I still would prefer the Hase Kettwiesel over this, but that is more a performance machine and costs about three and a half times as much.
