Trike shop near Sydney or Canberra
Postby halloleo » Mon Jun 03, 2024 9:43 pm
So I'm looking for a shop where I can try some. I know about RSC Cycling in Cootamundra. The guy is very, very nice, but the shop is a bit fare away from Canberra (particularly with bike+public transport). Is there currently any shop in Sydney or closer to Canberra?
Many thanks for any pointers!

There's a secondhand ICE for sale in Newcastle. Looks to be well priced.

There's a group ride in Sydney on 22 June. Some of the riders might let you try their trikes.

Strange that Sydney is such a "trike-shop desert"...

When I bought my Giro 20 I got to try several bikes at Flying Furniture. When I bought the GT20 trike I bought one of the first ones made sight unseen but I figured it was a Greenspeed and so would be OK.
When I bought the Encore I had seen a couple of pics. I got it cos they made it for my size (well almost. The seat to pedal is OK, the hand to bar is not quite right)
When I bought the Speedmachine I basically went "name brand and the only underseat steering bike in the country and it is New Old Stock so discounted. Sold". it was in Qld so no chance of a ride.
You pays your money and you takes your chances.

Which is a horrible URL for the Trisled Come and Try including Sydney on Thu 12th Sep and Canberra Fri 13th.
You won't get an Azub there but their trikes might suit.
BTW you are unlikely to get a go on an Azub anywhere. The shops I talked to (I wanted a 2 wheeler) didn't want to deal with Eastern Europe.

Not only that, when a company imports and re-sells something, it is classed as the maufacturer under Aust Consumer Law and must assume all responsibility for product liability, warranty, service and spare parts supply for a significant period of time. A business has to think carefully about that for the sake of one or two sales.zebee wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2024 5:20 pmhttps://www.facebook.com/permalink.php? ... tn__=-UK-R
