Utah Trikes is offering 3 seats for their 2010 Quad[ricycle]:
Given the 3 options, I was curious. So, I asked Ashley Guy of Utah Trikes which of the 3 seats is the lightest and which of the 3 is likely to be most comfortable over a long ride. He responded with seat #3 on both accords. The TerraTrike Mesh Seat, with aluminum frame it is.
This fits with Bryan Ball’s [BROL Managing Editor] [who owns a UTC Quad] statement below that the mesh seat works for him. Bryan has reviewed the quad.
Not much experience with the Performer but I have no complaints about the stock TerraTrike seat at all.
I think the Performer Seat is quite sporty. If I were building this quad up for off-roading, I’d really want to give the KMX bucket seat a ride. My quad will have extras that add to its weight, I’m looking to have lighter components where I can.

Ashley Guy, the president of Utah Trikes, has been into riding and building cycles as long as he can remember. He built his first tandem when he was 10 years old using his dad’s stick welder and a couple of bikes from the dump. He got his first quadricycle in 2004 and immediately started looking for something more efficient. When Ashley discovered his first TerraTrike his life changed forever. He quickly turned his love of trikes into a full-time business and now runs the nation’s leading trike shop. Ashley spends a lot of time personally answering customer emails and phone calls.
