Many of us think that our trike is made somewhere different than it actually is. Included in those are names like ICE, TerraTrike, KM X, HP Velotechnik, Trident and others. Just because the company is headquartered in the United States, Great Britain, Germany, Australia or some other country does not mean that their trikes are made in that country. The truth is they are almost all made in Taiwan or at least the frames are. It is true that certain models are made elsewhere, usually in country, but most are produced in Taiwan. A very few are made in mainland China. Taiwan is known for excellent frame building and has pretty much cornered the market on it. The welding is usually excellent. Some trike frames get sent out bare bones while others are shipped fully assembled and painted.
HERE is an article about this very subject.
This topic came up when someone said that Trident trikes are made in North Carolina. I told the person, no, they are made in Taiwan as are most trikes. It is hard to find anything about it, but I finally found one article that clearly said that Trident in made in Taiwan. Years ago I spent a lot of time and effort researching this subject to write this article on the subject. Things have not changed much. It was hard then to find out much about the matter. And with that I rest my case. Regardless of where your trike is made …
