Interested in locating:
http://www.apax.ca/;
have some balance issues
due to recent brain surgery
and wondered if this or
a SwingTrike, which I have
also not been able to locate
in the U.S., might be option(s).
Thanks for reply and assistance.
How much money you looking to spend here? If you could buy EITHER of those for less than $3500 I would be surprised.
And the APAX looks like it weighs about 150 lbs. Little wonder they have the guy riding it DOWN the stairs and not up.

I have never seen any commercially-produced leaning trike sold in the USA, at any price. Just press releases.
And nearly all of the home-built leaning trikes I've seen were not safe at high speeds or on rough ground due to poor design.
If you need a delta trike that is more-stable than a upright "granny" trike, Sun makes the Triclassic recumbent trike for about $850, but they are dealer-only sales and cannot sell mail-order at all. You need to get to a dealer in person.

All the other "good" delta trikes I know of (those built large enough for adults, meant for long-distance riding with full-range gearing,
and commonly available in the USA) cost $2500 or more.
RANS Trizard = $2600 (a lowrider, really)
Greenspeed Anura = $2700
Lightfoot Greenway = $2950 (rather heavy, ~70 lbs)
Hase Kettweisel = $3300
There are tadpole-style trikes too (two wheels in front), some cheaper options there but none less than the $850 Sun delta.
And tadpoles almost always sit much lower to the ground, making them much more difficult to get in & out of.
