Do you have your own idea of the
ideal cycle technology? With our modular system you can assemble your cycle
to fit you perfectly. For your Gekko you can obtain a system of reliable equip-
ment parts that we have developed specifically for tough everyday use. The
Streamer front fairing for example extends the cycling season to the whole
year. In the development of our Trikefender mudguards we have devoted par-
ticular attention to the side splash guard for the trike application.
For the gear and brake systems
we mount reliable, easy to use com-
ponents from reputable manufacturers.We also combine this with unconven-
tional solutions, such as the one-hand operation for brake and gear.Would you
like to have your Gekko fx built according to your own ideas with equipment
options other than those listed on the back of this catalog? Then we will pro-
vide the complete trike technology to your dealer with our frame kit.
In any case
you can ask your dealer for detailed advice. Disc brakes and
hub gears can make noise; tire and chain drive wear out.Your dealer knows
the advantages and disadvantages of the different components, provides you
with the correct service intervals and would be glad to customize your Gekko
fx equipment for your purpose, individual riding style and needs. With the
