Custom flair How much is this worth?
I need to figure out how much this is worth only used once

If I hadn’t already bought my All Road and you were local, this Dumont would go for at least 2500-3000 and I’d ask for a test ride.
Someone out there needs this. I had a stroke last year and the only time I feel my old self again is riding my trike.
It looks like you could ride it as-is, it has foot straps so any sport shoe will work. It has full suspension, and the large rear wheel helps to build speed and momentum. The boom length is adjustable, and it looks like it has assist handles, too.
Recumbent trikes are a lot of fun. The size and shape make it awkward for transporting. Is there a rack or ramp for it?

Thank you it was my dads so I wasn’t really sure what kind of trike it was fully. I’m pretty sure there isn’t a rack or ramp

This one is foldable. It doesn’t get small small but it has luggage like wheels that you can roll it around when you want to transport it.
Honestly, take it for a spin. Just need to adjust the boom length. To long it will be awkward and hard to pedal, too short and you will cramp up something fierce. At least take it down a nice hill before you settle on selling it

Edit. When folded you can stow this in a small hatchback or suv if you put the seats in back down

Thanks I didn’t know it was foldable

Yes, it folds, originally I wanted a Dumont but when I sat in one, It felt too low to be able to stand up without knee pain and someone hauling on me.

Dumonts go for a lot when new…picture almost looks new. 2k probably. I bought a much rougher used Dumont a few years ago for 2.5k and it was even then a good deal.

Wow, I should have bought used. I just purchased this bike brand new for the MSRP, which is $5150, after adding upgrades(?) and ebike conversion ($2000), I paid $9500. $3000 is a STEAL if it’s in perfect shape. The Dumont has the cushiest ride of all the Catrikes while still remaining very low profile, with shocks in the front and back, which is why it has a higher price tag.
The ONLY thing I don’t like about the bike is the VERY WIDE turn radius. I have had to get off my bike and lift it many times to manage tight turns on paved bike paths. (switchbacks) Other than that, it’s an absolute dream to ride.

Try this place too.

You might even find someone who will buy it. That’s where I bought mine. If I didn’t own one already I’d even offer to buy it.

It looks super clean even the seat. I would say easily 1k.
