Obviously I don't own a trike "yet", but from everything I've read, packing over a 26" wheel is a somewhat different experience :) . The folding system is very interesting: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pquttcGyndSTe6g.html , but three big wheels is also a bigger folder trike if you don't remove the wheels..

Matt it is absolutely okay to be all over the place with your passion. Some people never venture out on any of their plans, but you have inspired many to go with the flow! There’s no right or wrong way to express what you love! We are happy to live vicariously through you! Keep doing what you love and keep documenting your life! What ever you decide to do, I know you will use the best parts of who you are. JaYoe! ❤️

Interesting you lost a lot of subs and views after you stopped shilling for China! Did shilling make you feel dirty? You are now enjoying the USA and freedom most Chinese will never have. I think you lost a bit of your soul ..... because you sacrificed it for China ... sad

Matt you are just glowing with happiness. So happy for you

You seem so excited you almost had trouble speaking! This is a dream-come true! What a perfect partnership!

Happy and sad news.Great you will be getting a trike , so sad you will be retiring the Tiger Duck.Looking forward to your documenting the build in Europe. It will be reminiscent some older stuff (nostalgia).

So exciting! I followed you since you started your first tour. You attracted me because I ride a Terra trike! So happy to see more trike content!!!!

Don’t worry I take care of your old trike and make sure it life continues

Congratulations, great news. Janet and Mel are good people. We bought our Catrikes from them just over a year ago. Looking forward to seeing your next adventures.

You will love the new AZUB. We currently have 4. Two Ti-Fly X, Ti-Fly 26 and a Ti-Fly 20.

Matt, I have two AZUB trikes, a Tricon 26, and a Ti-Fly X. I have taken the Ti-Fly X on a mountain bike skills course, and I have ridden it over jumps - what a hoot! The Ti-Fly X is BIG , but it allows you to do things like ford small streams that you could never do sitting closer to the ground. The folks at AZUB are a great group of people who you will love. Have fun.

T. Duck 3.0 sounds good

Congrats Matt!! Welcome to the Ti-Fly Family!!

Your joy in this is a joy to watch. Mazel tov!

so glad you're getting your trike back and starting to ride again.

Great to hear! Look forward to more cycling content.

I have a AZUB Tricon 26 and absolutely love it. You definitely won’t be disappointed with your AZUB. The Ti-Fly so jealous.

That is Awesome ! Back in the saddle again.

Sounds great!

I own a Azub Ti-Fly 20" - it is pretty nice - I have ridden off road with those 20" Smart Sams on some wild trails and decommissioned logging roads without an issue as the trike sit high unlike my other trike. My other trike is an ICE Sprint RS with 20". Both trikes have Rohloffs with 2 chain rings. You shouldn't run a Mountain Drive with Rohloff as your system will run outside the Rohloff Specs. I met a guy touring on a Cat Trike a few years back with a High Speed Drive (I thought a Speed Drive would be more than sufficient) with a Rohloff. Oh that Azub front suspension is sweet. I have yet to tour on the Azub but my ICE Sprint has a lot of klicks on three continent. I looking an extensive tour this summer through my hood, British Columbia, just to put the Ti-Fly through its' paces. They use to make a soft padded packing case for the Azub which I picked up with my trike in 2019.

I think the idea is great. The Azub suspension looks great. I ride a Trident trike with a with a TSDZ2 assist. I am 87 years young and say to you GO FOR IT !!!

Matt.. congratulations on getting to build your new AZUB Ti-Fly X... In my opinion, AZUB is the best quality.. They have a stiffer frame and that makes them more reliable on the road..I have tried most of the brands out there and I love my AZUB T-Tri 26.. and AZUB will back you all the way.

I can't wait !!! missed Jayoe Nation.

Best news ever! I'm curious though when you'll ride the trike. Will you drive the van to a new country, take the trike down and explore around on the trike, then return to the van? Then drive to the next city/county?

@JaYoeNation

yup! thats the plan... forgo the long slogs and just do the fun stuff... although i did enjoy the long slogs

Great news! JaYoe!

glad to hear the good news will be exciting to see all the van and trike come together I've always have enjoyed your travels.

Look in to something call big leaf canopies there brilliant for trikes

Lots of cool memories with v2...time to let it go and embark on the new Evolution of your riding experience. Go all in with the Azub and don't look back.

Great news about your scorpion and the Ti fly it needs a different name and you have done some great work and upgrades to your van good journey and stay safe

If the war ruins the Europe tour, come tour Australia. You could drop in and visit different recumbent manufacturers and trike dealers around the country and maybe even make an appearance at a pedal prix! Make the local news programs, getting trikes and other recumbents more attention in the general population. Australia needs more people on recumbents and you can help make that happen. Will be looking forward to seeing you on tour again, wherever you go- maybe in person while I'm on my Magnum big wheel in South Aust. Good luck!

Talk to Azub about "European delivery". Just like the auto makers do! Buy the trike over there, ride for a given amount of time. (2 weeks to 3 months) Return to a predetermined spot with the factory. You fly home and they ship the trike to the dealer that you bought the trike from. Money paid in advance and still shipped by the company! If it works great for BMW, Mercedes and Volvo ,,, why not Azub?

Wow!! What an incredible opportunity!!! I've test ridden the Ti fly....unbelievable trike....rides like a Cadillac...congratulations. I think you need a brand new name for this best of the best trikes 😆👍

So much fun, I also have a ty-fly with a tri-con for my wife. I wasn’t trying to be stingy but she is 100 lbs with me at 250. The ty-fly is made well beyond my limitations!

Just home from a visit to portland, rode the bulk of the Columbia river old hwy. The whole of banks Vernonia rail trail. We ride Azub’s. I am on an assisted ti-fly 26, my sisters is a ti-fly x, and my nephew rides a Azub fat, both with steps 8000. My 26 uses a pinion, and both other trike D12. Nice trikes all. But I must say the X is a great balance between the two.Good folks at Azub and have personally met them in portland when I picked up two of the trikes. And again in Bend, with the first one.maybe I will see you out there!

Oh Matt! I was worried that you forgot about trike touring. Can’t wait to watch all of your touring vids.

Back in the saddle again! Looking forward to all of it.

Wonderful news Matt. Great to hear things are moving in a good direction. With the shift of recent events in the world, I say it’s time to retire the old name and go with the new. A great way to pay homage and still be fresh I believe would be something like the “Turtle Dragon”. It is fitting for the size of the Azub and yet still ironic in “name”. Also still keeping in with the old, having the same initials. How about that for “passion” being all over the place! Lol Can’t wait to see new trike vids Matt. Thnx for the inspiration to get back out there on my own trike. JaYoe!

Congrats on getting up and running again with the new equipment. I always look forward to your new videos. Stay safe and keep us in the loop with your awesome adventures.

Man..I miss seeing the faces of people you would meet when you were on the trike.. Bikes totally start great conversations and people are in aw the power you have to make it where you go.. My short travels I've met so many people..I DO miss your trike stories..

Really nice and excited to see you back to Malaysia and continuing your touring journey. Ja Yoe!!!

I found you when you went to the trike shop and chose the HPVelotechnic. I am a trike who followed the trike adventure religiously. This is SO exciting. Trikes forever!

😍 Super good news, Matt! So happy for you that all this happens now! Been hoping and waiting to hear some positive news from you and this is just amazing! Can't wait to see what's coming! Good luck and thanks for sharing this, really made me smile as well! 😁👍🍻

Way to go, Matt! Can't wait to see your new trike videos. JaYoe!

Matt, you lucky bugger, no seriously, what a fantastic idea and trike. Azub is a marvelous recumbent trike, I am happy for you!

Here's a thought. Put your Tiger Duck on top of the van! Instant recognition and advertising :D

Haha. That would be a tad too tall.

And on that Ti Fly X, you probably could do away with the Schlumpf drive as you won’t need it with the 14speed Rohloff. And, you won’t really need a manual shifter for the two-ring crank. Just switch it with your hand on the odd occasion you need the smaller chain ring.

Wooo!!! Haipuu!!! 🎉🎉🎉 So happy for you, Matt!!

Yes! Try something new. That's AWESOME! Congratulations Matt. 🎊 👏 👏👏👏👏👏

Dude keen to see this new trike.. Going to be so much fun

Yeah! Great to hear that all is coming together for you. Best wishes....

Wow. Some of the best news ever from JaYoe. Matt , will be back on 3 wheels again. AZUB looks like the perfect marriage for getting you back on the road. I cannot wait for the Journey to begin. JaYoe, Matt.

Good Stuff Matt

Great News. You have most certainly been a huge driving force for the recumbent trike industry

Great stuff

Yay!! I'm so excited for you 😃👍

Really excited for this! More travel, more content, more trike!

You think this is a *blessing in disguise*? I think so. Really happy for this wonderful news👏👏👏👍👍👍.. congratulations Matt.

Very exciting. Looking forward to seeing the evolution of your trike.

Really great news.....I have seen pictures of if and it looks really well made and a lot of thought in the development of it. I will be in Europe in June on a bike trip along the Danube...from the source to Vienna with my two brothers. Really looking forward to it....will be in contact to see what part of Europe you will be in...who knows?

I have an AZUB TriCon26. It’s an excellent trike. I test rode a Scorpion, Gekko, Adventure, TriCon, and TiFly. The two AZUBs have a much more sporty feel in my opinion though the turning circle was worse. I had Triker tires up front and a Marathon out back and had no fear going anywhere with them though sand was a bit of an issue. It also had Shimano Diore 3x10 gearset. I’ve gone to more of a high speed setup as I don’t tour with it but I do ride brevets. I know run Contact 2’s up front and a Kojak in back and swapped the gearset for a mix SRAM AXS parts in a 2x12 setup. My low range is not as good but my steps are closer. I’m looking into making a new trike, either a customized TiFly or a fully custom titanium trike for my high speed riding and restoring my TriCon to a touring setup.

Oh, one more thing. You can change from a 2x20/26 to a 3x26 and back if you have the separate wheels and the spacer for the rear shock. My dealer does this on his personal TiFly.

You are a very positive !!! - Very Thanks You !!!

@Matt: When you design the rack(s) to hold your trike, consider a modification/accommodation that will hold 3 "bikes" for when Eva & Anny are able to travel with you. (Just a thought, before you settle on a permanent fixture).

That’s the trike I want, you will love it. Wow I wish I would have found your channel sooner. Really interesting

Sounds amazing!

Fantastic news Can't wait Take care out there

I really hope this happens for you. It would be great if you can get the "tiger duck" back. It's felt like a missing piece of your puzzle for quite some time now. Best of luck. I'll be following for more trike updates.

Great video. Sent you a message on the transit forum. Look forward to the AdWag install.

Matt, I'm very exited together with you.... wow, nice the way you can get back to trike riding. I'm not even a beginner yet. Rode all my life on regular bikes, bought last year a gravelbike, but I'm highly interested in a trike (not an e-trike)... Here in Thailand it is not as easy to get one like in Europe or the US and I guess I start with a second hand first.... Hope you come back to Thailand one day. It would be fun to meet you. My friends and I go on our bicycles to Pak Nam Pran (a few km south of Hua Hin) where we have a stop in a restaurant, named Baan Pal (most cyclists stop there). That would be a nice meeting point.... just let me know if you are there one day in the hopefully not so distant future!

Your wife Annie is a very understanding woman to let you do what you want without being home.

Love this Trike man. How to keep it on board your 350 HD is something you should give a lot of thought or at least your bicycle. That’s how I have set up my 350HD.

Also you definitely want to get the King Carrier (rear rack) for it. Extremely solid and can hold 4 panniers.

Azub is very interesting.

Why I do not mount my bikes nor trikes outside of the vehicle - the eddies of the wind beats dirt on the bikes/trikes and really get the chain and parts dirty, plus they are not secure they can get damaged or stolen. Spending 5 to 8 grand on a trike plus accessories, without question they get stored inside - full stop.

Come on Matt, you know the trike is way better than the van any day of the week. Ditch the van and get riding again. Congrats and best of luck with your endeavors. Karl from Thailand.

So it seems we have gone full circle then, thats great! I started watching your channel because of the interesting trike and travel videos, stopped watching due to your shill phase (thankfully you're through that now), and now back to trike and travel. Good to see man

Wow! You moved to the states? Excellent! Family with you? Azub makes premium trikes. Good for you!

That will be a slick setup

I think you might prefer to have that trike mounted vertically on that right door rather than cross-wise. Maybe have the spare tire with…..a spare gas container on the left side.

New Name for ur newly built. Keep it simple for communication

Exciting news... Good luck with Azub!

Cool Matt. Hope to catch u in KL soon.

RIP poor TigerDuck. You will be missed.

Thats sooo excitingly cool - in New Zealand we say and please excuse the language “ you bloody tin arse” when all the ducks line up for someone as they have for you ( I know it wasnt a gift from the mouth you have worked hard for your deserving outcomes)Speaking of ducks ill put my name in the hat for naming 3rd Trike. Tiger Duck 3 - Tee Dee 3 - T D 3 ( thats 3 cubed) Many blessings my friend 🙏🏽❤️

I’m so excited for you and your new wheels…🤓👍

Awesome, really looking forward to seeing this. Edit: it would be awesome if fans based in Europe could ride along for a day.

Awesome news Matt. I’m super interested in those racks for my RV as well.
