TerraTrike is a brand of recumbent tadpole tricycles manufactured by WizWheelz Inc. TerraTrike is based in Grand Rapids, Michigan USA.[1][2] TerraTrike's 2013 product line consists of 5 models: Rover, Rambler, Tour II, Sportster, Tandem Pro.[3] Each model has 3 to 5 different component levels to meet each riders needs. HistoryJack Wiswell and Wayne Oom first discussed the concept of an adult tricycle, that Jack had doodled on a napkin, at a Christmas party in 1995. Along with former partner Peter Dolan each invested $1,000 from their savings to get things rolling.[4] Their first trike was released in March 1997.[5] In 2005 they hired Mike Kessenich as Production Manager to handle the complexity of their production needs.[6] Their marketing needs were met in 2007 after hiring Jeff Yonker who pushed the business into social media and numerous other non-cycling publications.[7] ModelsRover - The Rover is TerraTrikes entry level model and is made of Hi-ten steel. It was the first of its kind with a higher seat, ease of operation and a low cost. It uses an internal hub and comes in a 3 speed, 8 speed or auto shifting variable speed. It won Bentriders "Trike of the Year"[8] in 2011 when it was introduced and claims to have "introduced more people to triking than any other recumbent trike on the market".[9] In 2013 an automatic shifting model using a NuVinci 360 drive named the Rover Auto NuVinci was introduced at their annual Dealer Day expo.[10]Rambler - The Rambler was introduced in spring of 2011 and is a more featured version of the Rover. It is made from chromoly steel and comes in an 8 speed internal hub, a 24 or a 27 speed version.[11]Traveler - On October 23, 2013 TerraTrike released their new folding model named the Traveler at their annual Dealer Day expo.[10]Tour II - The Tour II is the combination of the Tour and the popular Cruiser models. It is made from chromoly steel and features linkage steering, a lower profile and heavy duty components designed around the touring rider.[12]Sportster - The Sportster model is the lightweight, high performance model in TerraTrikes lineup. It is made from lightweight anodized aluminium and top of the line components.[13]Tandem Pro - The Tandem Pro is a 2 person, tandem trike. It made of chromoly steel, features direct steering, 27 speeds, a quick coupler for transporting and an optional independent pedaling system.[14]Achievements
