Option 1. To buy the Sunseeker EZ-3 HD for $1,600 plus tax ... or not. Leaving Sue without a ride.
Option 2. Keep looking for a better priced option that could include both of us having a recumbent we liked.
We both really liked the delta trike with under the seat steering like the EZ-3 HD.
An hour later we found a Sunseeker EZ-3 HD for sale on Craigslist. Locally. For $1,000. We contacted the seller and made arrangements to come check it out that day.
We drove out to the location and had a look. A quick road test found a couple of things that made us hesitate.
-It pulled to the left
-The left pedal kept hitting the steering arm
-The shifter for the three front gears was not working at all
-A touch of rust in a couple places along the brake cable tubes
We thanked them and departed for home to think about it. About 4 miles down the road the seller called and said he had fixed the issues I described.
So we headed back. The first two issues were resolved with some WD40 but the shifter still did not work correctly on the front gears.
The seller offered to drop $100 on the price and we figured we could either attempt to adjust it ourselves or bring it to a shop to get it looked at.
We paid and took the trike home.
