Video from our Manufacturer Visits

Mark Swanson and Mike Wilkerson are our hosts as we visit the St. Petersburg home of Bacchetta Cycles. We have a look around the shop and hear about the CA 3.0, the Pelso Brevet and their new trike the CT 2.0. Finally, I take a test ride on the sweet new all carbon trike that was Swedish designed and now modified for the American market. Videography by Tray Bourgoyne.

Owner Tom Flohr leads us on a tour of the historic building now housing Trident Trikes (http://tridenttrikes.com/). We get to test ride a couple of trikes on the trail and through the streets of Lincolnton, North Carolina completing a great visit of Trident Trikes. Videography by Marilyn Solomon.

Our cameras were given special access to the factory floor at Catrike in Orlando, Florida. General manager Mark Egeland walked us through the highly efficient trike manufacturing process step by step as we learned about all the remarkable machines, engineering and craftsmen responsible for building your next trike. We think this tour of the award winning small business will be as fascinating to watch as it was to make. Videography by Tray Bourgoyne.
