A box seat for the connoisseur:
Your Gekko shows ergonomics at its best
Finally a cycle
on which you'd like to remain seated for another round after the tour. In terms of
ergonomics, your Gekko is far superior to conventional upright bikes. Instead of balancing your whole
body weight on a small, hard saddle, lean back comfortably in the wide mesh seat.The incline of the
anatomically shaped backrest can be variably adjusted. It offers pleasant back support and relieves your
spine.You can simply relax and forget about an aching bottom, numb private parts, aching spinal discs
or a stiff neck.
To make it easy for you to get in and get out
the frame cross member that connects the front
wheels is bent backwards in such a way that you can put your feet securely on the ground close to the
seat. Smaller riders will appreciate the built-in, extra wide heel clearance of Gekko.
In the recumbent position you spare your knees
when pedaling and can systematically regu-
late the stress of the muscles during fitness training.The sporty pedal position of the Gekko enables an
optimal power support in the seat and gives you a streamlined, fully relaxed posture. Due to the open
upper body posture, constricting pressure on the abdomen and your organs is avoided. Instead, the
lungs can fully enlarge and bring your cardiovascular system to full capacity. Learn fast on the Gekko:
Riding pleasure is the best heart rate accelerator!
Test it yourself:
Your HP Velotechnik dealer will be glad to show you the new ergonomics of cycling.
The rider is the benchmark. In the
recumbent position the disc pressure
amounts to only a third of the bowed riding
posture.Active sitting position strengthens the back
muscles.The urologist Prof. Porst recommends the recum-
bent:
"This vehicle has all the advantages of a conventional bike
with the additional benefit that it does not restrict the blood
flow in your genital area."
The sports physician and urologist
Prof. Frank Sommer has verified it:The recumbent seat has
been the best so far among futuristic saddle designs.
The anatomically shaped seat
is covered with a breathable
mesh fabric. By regulating the
straps you can adjust the seat
shape according to your individual
back shape.
Practical detail:A zippered pocket is
sewn in at the upper end of the backrest.
Here you can stow the rain cover or your
keys, cell phone and wallet within easy
reach.
The optional headrest is adjustable in height
and in inclination.You can comfortably set it
on the back of your head or if you wear a
helmet, at neck height.Washable uphol-
stery with reflective tape and belt web-
bing for inserting battery-operated rear
lights.
The blue ripstop nylon rain cover
will keep your seat dry when you
leave your bike in the rain or
snow.
