The Spike by Trident is the first, folding tadpole recumbent trike featuring a high-quality aircraft-grade chromoly steel frame, seven-speed Shimano components, and 100 PSI tires, all for under $1000.  The Trident Spike has the ability to be upgraded to a 21-speed tadpole recumbent trike later when your skill, interest and/or budget allow.  The higher seating position, approximately 15 inches,  of the Spike tadpole recumbent trike is sure to please many; and, without a doubt, the ability to fold this recumbent tadpole trike along with the $999.00 price tag make it a perfect choice for those not completely committed to purchasing a recumbent trike.
