HP Velotechnik Gekko fx 2013 Review Download Page 4

Gekko fx: From 

compact size 

to 

maxi-

mum riding pleasure 

in ten seconds

Speeds up not only your heart rate:

This tricycle remarkably unfolds

into a good deal of riding pleasure. To enable you to carry the Gekko fx
quite compactly wherever you'd like to go, the engineers at HP Velotechnik
have equipped the nimble touring trike with an amazingly fast, easy-to-ope-
rate, sophisticated folding system.

Special feature:

All components remain mounted on the trike – unli-

ke conventional folding trikes, in which the seat, wheels or rack must be
removed first and transported separately. HP Velotechnik's innovative 

Dual

Flat Fold (D.F.F.)

system implements this on Gekko fx with just two quick

release levers.With little practice, you can fold your Gekko fx into a com-
pact size of 83x52x82 cm in ten seconds. See how it is done on the right.

Your advantage:

After

the swift folding, the package
can be parked vertically to
save space. So you can carry
it easily along winding stair-
ways or pull it behind you on
the integrated transport
wheels.

Clear line:

The solid

frame construction of the
Gekko fx combines a secure
road holding with a sporty
handling, precise steering, low
weight and maximum accele-
ration.The frame cross mem-
ber elegantly curves to the
front and is positioned close
to the seat.Together with the
rugged, wide angle-adjustable
handlebar enables you to get
in and out of the seat very
easily.

The experience 

is in the

details.Your dealer can advise
you and show you how beau-
tifully the Gekko fx unfolds
on a test ride!
