Performer JC26X Recumbent Trike 27S FRP

This is a great tadpole style trike for the price. I enjoy how it rides, and the assembly was easy. I do advise that if you assemble it yourself that you still have it tuned up by a qualified bicycle mechanic. Once you have the derailleurs properly set and the wheels trued the ride is even better. I can't wait to do my first road trip with this trike to various camping sites so that I can start racking up the miles on it!

This is my first trike. When the package arrived I was concerned that such an item might arrive damaged. The package arrifved on time, undamaged, and when I unpacked, I was happy with the care taken to secure the trike so there was no damage. Assembly is not very hard, although the manual is not really the best. In it's current configuration the Cargo carrier does need to be slighly expanded and bent to fit over the rear fender and dropped into place with rubbing. I redrilled mine so I could lower it completely flat. During the process I contacted Rob at RBR, who was very helpful and helped me identify the issue and continued to work with me on a fix. We were able to supply a video to the manufactuer so that changes could be made in the future. Regardless the Trike is good quality and in my opinion the best one I could find for the money even with the slight modifications. Rob at RBR was so helpful I have even purchased a Sun canopy for it and cannot wait till next week to start on that assembly. If you are looking for a Trike and a company that will stand behind it's product and customer satisifaction I recommend RBR. I will contact them for any future needs I have.

The JC26X is Lightweight and has an awesome paint job. Do Use the professional assembly option. And expect to make tweaks your self after you ride it. All accessories shown were bought from Amazon as well. It's great trike for the price! Get you one!

I just recently received and assembled this trike in Diamond Silver color. Since this color choice was not currently available from the Amazon listing I went directly through RBR. The full assembly only took three hours and was very easy and straight forward. Before installing the chain I set the trike on a stand and set the travel distance limits on both the front and rear derailleurs. After installing the chain I tested shifting through all gears while on the stand. This turned out to be helpful as once the chain was installed no further adjustments were required and it shifted perfectly though each gear on the first ride. I will be installing one piece foam grips instead of the included tape wrap. Although the instructions call for using a tape measure to align the front wheels my package came with an adjustable two piece telescopic and locking tube device to perform this with and it is both easier and more accurate than using a tape measure. I'm just now beginning to accessorize the trike and I have found what I believe are the perfect mirrors for it right here on Amazon.I highly recommend you get a pair of these mirrors and mount them directly under the brake lever mounts. They are easy to mount with the no-scratch rubber belt mounting system and they stay put. Simply install adjust and tighten the pivot adjustment screws once you have them set to your liking. They are small enough to clear everything and very well made.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0722T6RNM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1The rear of the seat has a bottle cage mount on each side so I used a pair of these cages.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00R6GRWGQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1There is also a place on the vertical pole on the crank boom to mount a bottle cage but I'll be using this area to mount a custom fabricated front light mount.All things considered, this is a lot of trike for a bargain price. I did a lot of research before buying and it would cost at least double to get even close to all the features this trike comes standard with. This trike is the best deal on a recumbent tadpole trike out there. Most trikes at much higher prices do not have the molded fiberglass bucket seat or rear suspension and most others offer front fenders as an option at a higher cost. If you are looking for a feature rich trike at an affordable price look no further. The seller, RBR is always willing to help with any questions or problems you may have.I expect shipping time is a variable based on several things but mine arrived 13 days after purchase which is simply amazing for something coming from Taiwan and not produced until after the order is placed.

This Trike is an excellent product, however, I strongly recomend that the Acera rear derailleur be immediately replaced upon purchase for a Shimano Deore SL-M590 one. The Acera misses gears and is inaccurate in shifting, not to mention extremely noisy. Once this replacement is made this Trikeeps becomes 5 star !!!!!!
