ICE has built recumbent tricycles in Falmouth, Cornwall, since 1999, with roots in the Trice first produced in 1986. Its designs combine a supported, reclined riding position with practical questions that matter after the ride: how to store the cycle and move it by car.
The Adventure’s Compact Flat Twist fold uses a hinge in the main frame. After the seat is removed and the handlebars lowered, folding also turns the rear wheel so it lies flat between the front wheels. The VTX is the exception to the brand’s folding range.
Access shapes the frame too. On the Sprint X, the swept crossmember leaves more room to bring the feet beneath the body when sitting down or standing up. Indexed handlebar clamps help restore the steering handles to their chosen position after unfolding.
The Sprint X Tour offers adjustment of the crank, seat and handlebar positions. Its Pixel variant uses a 20-inch rear wheel and a layout aimed at shorter riders. These choices show why recumbent design is about fitting the whole seated body, as well as arranging three wheels.
