How does the trike handle in ice and snow?
If the streets are slippery and freshly sheeted over with ice and slush, a Haley is absolutely the best. You can ride with confidence that the tricycle won’t slide out from under you. Since almost all of your body weight is over the drive wheel, you can get good traction in slippery conditions, either loaded or not. You can stand up on the pedals for more control as well. You obviously need more distance to stop. Riding on icy streets is great fun on a Haley when it would be impossible on a bicycle. If the streets are snowy but driven on already, you can usually fit two of the trike’s wheels (one front and the rear) into one track.

If the streets are covered in fresh snow, rolling resistance becomes exponentially higher as all three wheels make their own track. Two inches of snow is fun, but m
