Entry-level Folding Suspension Recumbent Trike

M-009 Entry-Level Folding Suspension Recumbent Trike | Comfort, Portability & Performance

This Trike Is For You If…

• You want a full-comfort trike at the lowest price we make
• You ride from your front door — storage is your need, not transport
• Home space is tight: you want it to fold upright and park in a corner
• It's your first trike and you want the recumbent life without the premium price

Consider Another Model If…

• You need it in a car — even a big one → the [M009FD] lies flat in larger trunks and back seats
• You'll fold it often and don't want to remove the seat every time → the [M009FD] folds with the seat on
• You're traveling — RV, road trips, flying → that's the [M320]

M009 vs. the Other Folders — in 30 Secondshttps://youtube.com/shorts/YEFaqX97blA?si=uIsLJ2OEke_L6sI7

• M009 (this trike): the budget choice — folds upright for home storage, 4 minutes, 35 kg. Built to store, not to travel.
• M009FD (+$400): the easiest fold — nothing comes off, flat in 2 minutes; travels in larger trunks and back seats. Heavier (40 kg).
• M320 ($2,999): the travel trike — two-level fold down to 90 × 52 × 53 cm at 19 kg, rolls like luggage.

Key Features & Why You’ll Love It

• Precision Shimano Drivetrain: A wide-range Shimano 3x8 drivetrain (24 speeds) provides effortless shifting and the perfect gear for both steep inclines and fast flats.

• Superior Braking Power: Features Avid BB5 mechanical disc brakes on the front and a Promax V-brake on the rear for reliable, all-weather stopping performance.

  The Fold: Built to Store

  The M009's vertical fold does one job well: it gets a full-size trike out of your way. Seat off first, then the frame folds upright in about four minutes — no tools [待确认]. Folded, it stands on its own at 125 × 88 × 80 cm: the corner of the garage, the end of the hallway, beside the RV at the campsite. What it doesn't do is cars — at 35 kg and this footprint, it's not a trunk trike, and we won't pretend otherwise. If your trike needs to travel, the M009FD and M320 below do that job.

   

Folding Steps:

Remove the seat.
Loosen the two screws on the folding bracket.
Fold the trike directly.

FAQ

Q: M009 vs. M009FD — is the $400 difference worth it?

A: If you'll fold it weekly or need it in a car: yes. The M009FD folds with the seat on (nothing to remove), folds twice as fast (2 min vs 4), lies flat instead of standing, and travels in larger trunks and back seats. If it lives in your garage and you ride from home, save the $400 — the ride is the same.

Q:M009 vs. M320 — both fold, what's the real difference?

A:Purpose. The M009 folds for home storage: 125 × 88 × 80 cm, 35 kg, stands upright in a corner — not for cars. The M320 folds for travel: down to 90 × 52 × 53 cm at 19 kg, with caster wheels so it rolls like luggage. Store it → M009. Travel with it → M320.

Q:Can I transport the M009 in my car?

A:We don't recommend it — 35 kg and a 125 × 88 cm folded footprint make it a poor trunk trike, and the fold hardware is designed for storage duty, not daily loading. That's not a defect; it's why it costs $1,400 less than the M320

Q:Does it have a parking brake?

A:Yes — standard, like every TrikExplor trike.

Q:How hard is assembly?

A:To ensure safe shipping, the trike is partially disassembled and secured in a reinforced crate. However, we provide comprehensive instructions and all the necessary free accessories to get you on the road quickly.
