I’m glad this kit exists as an option, but I have to question the advantage of a larger rear wheel on the eco tad. First, you’re lowering the bottom bracket in relation to the seat on a model where it’s already pretty low. IMHO, eco tad is a great bombproof model for touring or heavier riders. This kit would lower the weight limit. I suppose an advantage would be making the gearing taller, but a larger chainring could also do that with less effort and cost.

The kit lengthens the wheelbase which has a minor improvement on handling. The bigger wheel also rolls smoother than the smaller wheel in addition to raising the gearing. Thanks for watching.

@@UtahTrikesOnline I didn’t think of the longer wheelbase, that’s a good point. As a taller person, it’s tempting to try the extension but keep the 20” wheel. That would be an interesting experiment.

Now make a belt conversion using some idler pulleys.

Do they make belts long enough for recumbents? I think a chain idler and tweaking the location of the chain tubes would definitely make a difference.

@@joncrowley1818 the site has them listed by measuring the outter diameter of the loop. If you have adjustable dropout slots or idler pulleys the exact size isn't as critical.

We do have extension plates for most Sun tadpoles and Catrikes. We do have other options available for ICE, Azub and HP depending on the model. We do not have extensions for TerraTrike or Greenspeed.
