Lightfoot Cycles TCX Trike Cargo Extension Retrofit

Lightfoot Cycles is a recumbent, trike, and utility bike manufacturer, along with a few other specialty adaptive versions for people with disabilities. It is clear that this Montana based company is in touch with the bike industry – unlike some utility bike manufacturers, Lightfoot is using disc brakes and modern componentry. The TCX Trike Cargo Extension is of particular interest, a customizable retrofit that adds a flatbed or boxed trike rear end to an existing 26″ mountain bike frame. A simple frame and one-wheel drive powertrain runs about $750 and goes from there with options like a two-wheel drive transmission, ultra low gears, enclosed boxes, custom widths etc. This honestly brings a true cargo bike into the realm of affordability for many, and for the right use could be an invaluable tool.
