MODERN
3.6 / Tour Dec 04

Note: The TerraTrike 3.6 was renamed the TerraTrike Tour in January of 2006.

With the 3.6 we've improved the handling yet again giving it a more stable feel at all speeds. It has a stronger frame and for the first time, full assembly comes standard. We've added many quality refinements and best of all, it has a $300 lower pricetag. Here are the details:

  • a cast lug at the intersection of the main tube and outriggers makes the frame incredibly strong
  • cast hubmounts are stronger and look much more sculpted than our old square welded hubmounts
  • an improved kingpin design
  • much better looking, higher quality welds all around
  • a downward bend in the seat frame where the bottom edge used to rub against some rider's thighs
  • ndividual straps and buckles secure the seat mesh instead of a single cord with eyelets(it used to tie like a shoe) - this allows for micro-adjustment of the seat - our most comfortable seat ever
  • an improved seat mounting design which eliminates having to position those pesky washers between the frame and the seat bracket - adjusting your seat position and angle is easy
  • a more stable feel to the steering and handling at all speeds
  • our finest, most consistant powder coat ever
  • all fasteners are now stainless steel
  • the decals are sandwiched between the sparkle red powder coat and the clear coat so the edges are invisible and they won't peel
  • a textured black anodized finish on the seat, handlebar and
    both the upper and lower seat stays which looks great and resists paint scratches
  • fully assembled and shipped in a custom engineered box
  • very competitive dealer pricing (first time in our 9 year history that we've opened up to dealers)
  • customers can order through their local dealer or direct from us using our new secure online ordering system
  • compared to the 3.5 this new version is a much more
    refined, professional looking trike with a better feel and a very aggressive price
  • A retail price drop of $300; the 3.5 was $2199; higher sales volume has led to a better trike at a better price
