The focus is on people.
At HP Velotechnik, cycles are ergonomically designed on the basis of your
needs using modern construction methods. Modular, orthopedically perfect seating systems create
the best connection between you and your trike. Plenty of riding pleasure is always included.
The centerpiece: The lightweight, rigid frame
is made of high-strength,
high-volume aluminum tubes. These are linked with precise craftsmanship with
impressive finely scaled, heavy-duty welding seams in the TIG process.
Tricycles are exposed to high torsional forces when cornering, accelerating and
braking, particularly with luggage load. In order to efficiently bring your pedaling
force any time on the road and to optimize driving safety in the limit area, the
engineers at HP Velotechnik minimize unwanted elastic bending of the frame. An example: Our high-
strength aluminum main frame tube with a solid 2 mm wall thickness provides a 34% increase in tor-
sional rigidity compared to a similar heavy steel tube with a wall thickness of 1 mm.You feel it at
once: the precision of the steering, the sporty handling and safe braking.
The tilt-stable chassis:
The two sturdy front wheels are mounted far outside reliably on the ele-
gantly curved forward frame cross member. Extra safety:You have the total width of your vehicle
always in good view while riding through narrow passages.
