Every trike rider should watch this video. After using clipless pedals ( with foot pain) I tried the platform pedals with the pins . Up hill was fine but down hill with no pressure on the pedals and some bumps my right foot came off and under the frame it went at 22 MPH. Needless to say it was 8 weeks of rest and using a boot for the torn achilles tendon to heal and get back on the trike. I'm hoping more trike riders watch this video. Thank you for doing this.
Had dropped leg twice bounce off asphalt. Ouch! Worse by far is leg going under the trike frame. Use full-foot-support heel cup pedals here with all the nylon straps removed. No pedaling upward, but I don't do that anyway. Gary AKA: "Jason Stillwater" in the recumbent world.
@Steven Chanenson it was a cheap one from Amazon. I have, however, dispensed with these (velcro came apart) and have gone back to using the pedals quite happily with the installed pins . I use either a pair of hiking shoes or similar sandals - no issues .

Thanks for sharing your story with us!!
I've been using Crankbrother Eggbeater 3's for over12 years on my Catrike Expedition. Good attachment & float.
I have gone to Kampway Pedals and love them. Don't use any straps and my feet stay put. Use them on my Catrike Dumont Trike.

A leg under the frame is very painful!! Thanks for sharing your experience and helpful information.
Great explanation thanks for showing.
You’re welcome
Your videos are very informative.
Glad we could share the info
I've switched to the Pedaling Innovations Pedals with an aftermarket strap . Just couldn't get the hang of the clipless pedals .
Thanks for sharing what works best for you!
