Priced at just under $4,900, the ECO Trikes are not production-level bicycles, though Bill is rumored to be working to push the ECO Trike design into a production facility, perhaps overseas. This being said, these trikes represent an extremely high degree of utility potential and they are built with a level of detail and precision that is unrivaled in most all other utility bikes. Bill is working alongside Joe at Joe Bike in the design and development of the <a href="http://www.joe-bike.com/2009/03/05/introducing-the-joe-bike-from-joe-bike/" rel="nofollow">Joe Bike</a> and its associated rack attachments. While I don't include bill's trikes here, if they meet your utility requirements and you can afford one, the ECO Trikes are amazing machines. Portland is a better place because of Bill Stites.
