No UK Catrike dealer?

Post by UpWrong »

What's up? Blank website https://wheelnv.co.uk/ and no record of a UK dealer on the Catrike web site.

The official Catrike website no longer lists a UK dealer.

The nearest are just north of Paris and Amsterdam

The dollar to euro to GBP transactions invovled in that route are likely to inflate the price somewhat. It's a shame when they've just launched the new full suspension Road AR model at a very competitve dollar price.

I met Ian at PoP last year, while riding my Catrike, and I got the distinct impression he was still in business then. I wonder if the initial WheelNV was wound up when he moved to Scotland?
Either way I am not surprised this has happened. Exchange rates, uncertainty, the state of the 'bent market have probably all combined to make it not worth the hassle. I wonder if someone else will take up the reigns, but between the home grown ICE and the Europeans like Azub, Hase, HP Velotechnik etc, Catrike would be fighting for a very small slice of a very small market. It's a shame as they are very nicely made trikes.

NEW CATRIKE COMPANY TRIKE SONG ??????
THAT SHOULD APPEAL TO ALL TRIKE RIDERS
Not composed and written and (but probably stolen) by .....Kevin D TEK
You will (should ) know this tune !
humm along whilst your riding and all of you sing the chorus
So here we go .........................
One two and three ........................................

Three wheels on my wagon
And I'm still rolling along
The Cherokees are chasing me
Arrows fly
Right on by
But I'm singing a happy song
I'm singing a higgity, haggity, hoggety, high
Pioneers, they never say die
A mile up the road there's a hidden cave
And we can watch those Cherokees
Go galloping by
"George, they're catching up to us!"
"Get back in the wagon woman!"
Two wheels on my wagon
And I'm still rolling along
Them Cherokees are after me
Flaming spears
Burn my ears
But I'm singing a happy song
I'm singing a higgity, haggity hoggety, high
Pioneers, they never say die
Half a mile up the road there's a hidden cave
And we can watch those Cherokees
Go galloping by
"Duh, Paw? Are you sure this is the right road?"
"Will you hush up? You and your maps!"
One wheel on my wagon
And I'm still rolling along
Them Cherokees after me
I'm all in flames
At the reins
But I'm singing a happy song
I'm singing a higgity, haggity hoggety, high
Pioneers, they never say die
Right around that turn there's a hidden cave
And we can watch those Cherokees
Go galloping by
"George? Should I get the bag of beads and trinkets?"
"Woman, I know what I'm doing!"
No wheels on my wagon
So I'm not rolling along
The Cherokees captured me
They look mad
Things look bad
But I'm singing a happy song
"C'mon all you Cherokees, sing along with me!"
Higgity, haggity hoggety, high
Pioneers, they never say die
Higgity, haggity hoggety, high
Pioneers, they never say die
Higgity, haggity hoggety, high
