The scale shows 51.98 lbs. less the strap weight .46 lbs, equals 51.52 lbs. The riding weight includes a filled 3-liter bladder, spare tubes, batteries, lights, etc. I have wedge bags to add and likely a sports drink bladder. I estimate a riding weight of 50 to 55 lbs. This is 5 to 10 lbs less than my RANS Stratus XP.The collage above show the straps I use to suspend the trike. Upper left–rear lift strap wraps around the frame, just in front of the rear tire [see lower center photograph]; Upper right–front lift strap wraps around the frame, just in front of the cruciform.
