"Ok it's been bout a month since I had my Path 8 I still love it. had one problem with the shifter and that was fixed and now not bragging on it but so far so good."

"Last Tuesday I had the pleasure of purchasing a Terra Trike Path 8 on that Wednessay I rode 20 miles to Xenia Ohio. After that I just rode to Cedcerville Ohio. The next day was the Century ride for the Greene Trails Cycling Classic where I finished the 100 mile.s. I rode home sunday after noon and found that the Path 8 is too much fun to be legal. The only gripe I have is with the intertube on the left side I had to replace it after a week of riding because it either had a flaw or slow leak in it. Changing it was easier than changing my EZ 3 SX's 20 inch tubes. I love it wish I would have bought a Terratike 7 years ago instead of my EZ 3 SX."

"Purchased my Path 8 from Utah Tikes. I really like it but I'm getting old with and it was geared waaaaaaay to high for me. In addition I found the 8 speed Sturmy Archer to be a bit of c**p. Besides the annoyance of not being able to shift up or down while peddleing when I did shift up on some gears the gear ration felt to be down. 8th gear always felt lower than 7. Shifting into 1st gear was always difficult. I first replaced the front end with 32 tooth sprocket but still too tough on the hills. This winter I have replaced the Sturmy with a Nuvinci N360 and a Schlumpf 2 speed front (I don't like derailers.) I also added the Terra Trike Sport Idler kit, the new fenders and Big Apple tires all around. I couldn't get the rear fender to fit with the Big Apple (2 inch) tire so went back to the original real fender. I have added Crank Brothers Mallet clipless peddels. Now it is almost a $4,000 trike but should run great, give me the low gears I need and higher gears than I will ever use. Still snow on the ground but hope to be out testing it in the near future. My recommendation is that if all possible spend some time riding (I had about 20 minutes while traveling through Utah on vacation.) The only complaint I have with the Path was with the Sturmy Archer hub. If doing again I would have upgraded to a Nuvinci, Shimano Alfine, or Rohloff 14 speed."

"My Path is not a stock in any sense of the word. It contains a 3-speed internal hub and an 8-speed external gears along with pistol shifters instead of the stock turn knobs. I also added a 52 tooth (IIRC) front ring. Finally, I went with Schwalbe Marathon tires.

This Path configuration chews flats and downhills. I can quickly pedal to cruising speed. Uphills present the same issue that you will find with most tricycles.

I ride on streets and paths. My youngest child's Burley trailer easily hitches and unhitches to the Path. The Path feels sturdy. With the trailer, though, this tricycle feels heavy and slow.

I transport my tricycle by putting it in the back of my cuteute SUV. I can easily lift the Path in and out of the vehicle.

Finally, I really enjoy the design of the Path. The seat provides good support without forcing my back muscles to do the work. The position of the shifters and brake levers keep pressure off my wrists. However, you should expect to feel some foot pain, which seems common among many tricycles. Every 30 to 45 minutes, I unclip my feet and move my legs around. This action relieves the foot pain.

Enjoy the ride."

"I bought the 3-speed Path April 2008 and just replaced the stock tires with new stock tires. I ride almost every day averaging about 6 miles around town on bike paths winter and summer. It is my main mode of transportation. There is no weight on my arthritic wrists and it doesn't fly out from under me when I hit a patch of ice on a curve like my bicycle did."

"Coming off a Tour Easy recumbent, I found that this is something I should of had 15 years ago. I had no problem with hills locally, but after 10 miles the same hills got higher. On the other hand I'm 84. My Tour Easy got stripped and I now have a triple and 11/34 cassette. The hills are much lower now. The handling downhill is sound and requires light hand control. It came with horz bar ends, then I went vertical and I'm now back to the bar ends."
