Wot if I cross out HPVelotechnik on the frame with a crayon and write iCE?

Hmm ……….Only if you can answer this starter question ????
What is the rolling resistance of modern "Wagon Wheels" compared to the earlier and larger "Wagon Wheels "

At what temperature, the adhesion of the chocolate changes with the ambient temperature......which in turn affects rolling resistance

I would say the Sprint is now lighter because they have put a more padded seat cover on the adventure as standard. And I really must get that dirt out from under my nails

The melting point of chocolate is typically between 86 and 90 degrees

Example ...last week I left a demo trike out all day on tarmac and the Kojak tyres started to look like chocolate !!!

The new seat pads are made from marshmallows to reduce weight and enhance comfort .

Still waiting to hear about your "New" trike ......go on go on go on ....you know you miss three wheels .....Perhaps an AZUB ???

Wider handlebars on the adventure, more material. So Im going for the adventure being heavier.

Only comparing the standard Adventure with the Sprint and these share the same bars (not including the HD Adventure ) .
But well done and good thinking

We’ve had someone nominate all three answers now...

I have to say it was scary riding my Spa Tourer into work yesterday in the rain. It's a long way to fall I can't see any advantages of the AZUBs over the ICE trikes. They are wider and heavier. The Ti-Fly is pretty but not exactly aerodynamic. Tempted by another Catrike but the pound is at an all time low against the dollar ....

Easy.
Phone ICE and ASK THEM!

Will you get a single line answer or perhaps offered free range Cornish cream eggs

According to ICE the adventure is lighter than the sprint with as near identical build specs as you can get.

NOT by much though.

Can I have my choc's now?

On second thoughts donate them to some local kids to save me getting fatter.
