Fun in the Sun with the Sunseeker Baja!

With warm weather on the way, soon it will be the perfect time to get out and ride before it gets too warm in the summer heat. Which is great timing for the trike we are talking about today which is the Sun Baja Fat Tire Trike.

The Sunseeker Baja

The Baja is the beach cruiser of the trike world, basing its design off of Sun's fat tire bike the Baja Cruz which is an all around great fat tire beach cruiser. It translates all of the Cruz’s best qualities into this 3 wheeled delta cruiser.

The Baja is a fat tire delta variant of trike. Meaning one big wheel in front and two big wheels in back like a traditional trike. Unlike the other Sunseeker Delta Trikes this IS your granny’s trike… If your Granny was a super cool beach cruisin’ lady cutting through the sand like it’s no one's business.

The Baja is on the more affordable side of trikes to view current pricing check out it’s page here.

Built like a standard bike with the pedals under you it's a comfortable and familiar feel that's easy to get the hang of. But with two wheels in the back making balancing that much easier.

Speaking of wheels this thing is decked out with three twenty four by three and a half inch tires, perfect for going over obstacles that would stop your average two wheeler. Perfect for leisurely road riding, but with soft, sandy beaches in mind.

With the fat tires it spreads the weight more evenly than on a regular road tire letting you glide over sand, dirt, and gravel with ease. The tires are also decked out with kevlar flat protection, making sure your ride isn't interrupted by a punctured tire.

The Baja also features high quality front and rear ProMax mechanical disc brakes with a parking lock, allowing for easy braking and parking. The frame of the trike is great for sitting accessibility for those who have a harder time mounting and dismounting.

The seat has a minimum height from the ground of 27 inches going up to about 33 inches, and with a step through of 14 inches the Baja accommodates most riders and their heights.

Coming with a large bike style seat to fit a good variety of riders. It's made of comfortable foam and it's sure to make your riders even more enjoyable. This trike is a bit of a hefty fellow though. Weighing in at sixty eight pounds it may be a little hard to transport without a trailer and a ramp.

All of that weight comes from its strong high tensile steel frame bringing the Baja’s official weight capacity to be right around two hundred and fifty pounds even with the step through design.

The Baja features a Sunrace seven speed thirteen to thirty four tooth cassette in the rear and a single crank up front. Not the most range, but it's not likely you'll want to climb hills with this one.

Even though it's not the most powerful trike, that doesn't mean it isn't a great vehicle. It comes stock with a super nice and spacious rear basket that is made of a metal Alloy and solid wood bottom. A great accent to the leisurely look, but also super handy for carrying your belongings or gear.

We have three awesome colors in stock right now. Aqua and Graphite grey which are the stock Sun colors, and an army green that we powder coat here in house.

We have a full-fledged painting operation in our shop so if you want your Baja to be more custom we can paint it any of our forty + UTCustom colors. You can see all of our color options on our website.

This is a very basic trike with not a lot of room for customization sadly. The main customization that is done on this trike is installing a bafang motor. It can be done and we do do it every once and a while, but it's not recommended.

The Baja loses stability as your speed increases so if you get going too fast around fifteen to twenty miles per hour it starts to get a little wobbly. If you do choose to go with a motor, you can do what you want, but we recommend putting a cap on the speed. We can do it here at the shop. We are able to tune the maximum wattage of the motor down so that it isn't capable of exceeding a certain speed. Or if you want more control you can do this manually by setting a top speed on the console.

This trike utilizes its simplicity to maximize a spacious and relaxed design. Earning it the title of the self proclaimed “SUV of the Sun Trikes” This trike definitely prioritizes leisure and convenience over speed, but that's to be expected. It's a great trike that is perfect for those on a budget who need to get through more loose terrain.
