I helped an older woman (she's in her 80's and I am 70) move her residence from a home with a garage to an apartment. Without the garage, she had nowhere to keep her Villager so she gave it to me! This was over a year ago and I love riding this trike where I live in Florida! I recently modified the trike by adding a 1000w Bafang mid drive and a Rohloff 500 14 speedhub to the Villager assuring that I can pedal as far away from the house I as want and when I get tired, I can always get back home with the assist. I ride about 75 - 100 miles per week and always between 2am and 4am so I don't have to compete with any other vehicles on the local highways. You guys at Utah trikes are great and next time I go skiing in Park City I'll be stopping by for a visit!
I have a Dumont. Love it. Recommend Catrike to anyone looking for recumbent trike. Utah Trikes is my first choice for accessories. Nice video. Full of information and fun to watch.
I bought one of the earliest villager’s. My serial number is 646. Still riding it today so I would respectfully say it’s not just for beginners. It’s a great trike and a couple years ago had electric assist added to it. It’s a great trike. I really appreciate your video’s, nice job.
I can also speak about the Villager, but not as a trike. Utah Trikes built an eQuad on the V trike frame for me; 26" full fat wheels/tires, a differential, and a Rohloff speed hub. This hard tail is very stable and goes nearly everywhere, year around. We are in the middle of winter now, with 4' of snow at ground level. The quad easily handles fresh snow of 4-6" on the flat and on hills. Packed snow and ice is really fun:) I have energy capacity of 66 Ah available from four batteries when needed for extended range.
We love my villagers, we ride them everywhere, I ride mine more than any bicycle I ever rode. My balance has never been good, and I love riding, so this gives me the chance to ride without falling off.
My Villager has the eCat motor and a Rolhoff Speedhub. I recently put Schwalbe Billy Bonkers tires on to replace the stock tire. The trike is much more supple and can handle various terrains.
I have a catrike villager com a little disabled I had a stroke and my left arm doesn’t v work so all my shifter and brakes are on right side brakes work left and right brake so I stop straight
Hello, good afternoon, I hope you are very well. I am from Colombia. I am interested in one of these, please, what is the value of this means of transportation? thank you God bless you
I was looking at buying a recumberant since I'm disbled and really onlt have balance problems.. but the price of these things just dousnt match my expectations of what is essentially 2 normal $300 bikes turned into 1 recumberant. my trade is metal working and welding so... I figure I'll build one for 1/4 the price.. I mean... $1200 for a bicycle.. gimme a break, I could buy an electric on for that and jus add trainer wheels :-\
They may cost a bit but worth it I think. I wish I still had mine. I'm not sure witch one I had back in 2012 mine had a 26" wheel in back and 20" in front. I could go up any hill I wanted to go easy.

I bought a Villager almost a year ago. Very strong frame and great ergonomics!

Great job on this video! Thanks for showing off the Villager!

Definitely! The Villager is a great trike for beginners and experienced riders. It sounds like you've definitely gotten your money's worth!
Hello and many thanks for your informations and experience. Have a good continuation. 😉👍
Love my Villager!

All I can comfortably use any more is my Villager. 87, 5 to 10 miles a day.

They really are high dollar. I agree.

Just get to the price.
Stop waving your hands.
