Why a 26" rear wheel ?
Big back wheels on Trice have been around since 1990 and have always had a dedicated following. The more conventional MTB wheel size integrates easily with industry standard cycle components giving an economic route to a good range of gears. Ride quality over a non-suspended small wheeled trike is improved. Rolling resistance of larger wheels is generally agreed to be better though we have not proven this ourselves. One thing is for sure, It certainly looks fast!
The other big advantage is the lower starting price for the Trice T 26 due to the simplified non-suspended and non-folding rear frame. Cost is also reduced when it comes to adding a rear carrier for luggage capacity as the rack we offer for the 26 is a simple standard unit designed for use on diamond frame bikes.
What is this trike about?
The Trice T is a sedate and refined touring trike from ICE. It has a higher seat than the Trice Q making it a little easier to get on and off. Carefully chosen components and meticulous attention to detail in the construction of the part steel, part aluminium frame makes this trike fantastic value for money.
T stands for Tour and this trike is an excellent choice for cruising along your favorite trails. The T maneuvers easily and the big 26" rear wheel rolls well even on uneven pavement. It is very unlikely you will have ever ridden in such comfort and this machine will put a smile on your face every time you ride it.
How comfortable is it?
The super-breathable mesh seat has lumbar and shoulder support to provide day-long comfort. This seat gives great support to your back and the angle adjustment of the seat ensures your neck and spine will not feel the strain of a long days cycling. Long rides are much more enjoyable if you are comfortable, and lunch at that beautiful view point is much nicer if you already have somewhere to sit.
Big ground clearance with aero performance
If you are looking for a machine with the T’s specifications, but with a hard shell seat, the Standard ICE hard shell can be fitted to the Trice T. This seat has even more angle adjustment so you can ride sat up or very reclined.
Narrow Track Option.
The Trice T is also available with a narrow track option. This model has a front track 4" (10cm) narrower than the standard track which can really help if you regularly need to squeeze through narrow gaps or want to store the trike in a smaller space.
The narrow track option does reduce the stability of the trike so this option is not recommended where high stability is the priority. It is still possible to ride fast through corners but a little more body leaning will be required.
The narrow track also reduces the maximum cockpit width between the
handle bars and so is not recommended for heavier riders. On the other hand, if you are a smaller person, a steady rider and prefer the higher seat then this could be your ideal choice. We even offer short cranks and the FF bracket which moves the seat forward in relation to the cross axle for very short legged riders - see Rider size page
How do I store it or transport it?
Though the 26" rear frame does not fold, the seat can still be quickly removed, as can the rear wheel and rear mudguard if fitted. The additional QR kit can also be fitted to give tool-less removal of the front wheels, front mudguards, sliding of the front boom and folding down of the handle bars. The result is a trike that can still be made to fit inside most cars with the rear seats folded.
The rear frame section is removable and so for the more serious trip the trike can be fully split down for the most compact package.

A great range of accessories are also available from ICE for the Trice T, so you can select from the list of extras to enhance your machine. The Trice T is available to order direct from ICE if you wish or from one of our listed dealers.
