Inspired Cycle Engineering Recumbents
With 22 years of recumbent-building experience, the guys at ICE (or "ICE-men", as they are wont to call themselves) produce some truly well-rounded and well-executed trikes.
All standard models come with rear suspension, and can be folded for ease of transport. In addition, a number of added conveniences come as standard; for example, mounting points for bottle dynamo generators, and built-in Rohloff compatibility.

2008 Trice T
A Design with Pedigree The Trice T is a sedate and refined touring trike from ICE. Its frame is based on the ever popular Trice Explorer. The Trice T shares the same high seat as the Trice Explorer making it easy 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 unbeatable value for money.
What is this trike about?
T stands for Tour and this trike is an excellent choice for cruising along your favorite trails. The T maneuvers easily and the rear suspension is fantastically comfortable 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.
