We are putting together a trike for a gentleman with a neurological condition that inhibits "pulling" action with his hands.
He has settled on an ICE Sprint 26 recumbent trike and we have determined a configuration that will allow him to operate his trike with "pushing" actions.
The pictures show a prototype solution. We intend to mount the brake levers backwards so they operate with pushes rather than pulls. Trigger shifters mounted upside down and on the "wrong" side allow the paddles of the shifters to be actuated with pushing action using the palms of his hands.
The cost to configure this is nominal.
Ti-FLY recumbent trike uses a titanium front suspension in a parallelogram structure for fully-independent front suspension with very light weight and a minimum of moving parts.
Recumbent trike manufacturer, Azub, shows off and announces pricing and availability in late summer 2016 of the Ti-FLY full-suspension trike one of the most innovative front suspension concepts ever seen in the recumbent industry.
Available in an array of configurations that include the Pinion gearbox system.
Bacchetta changes touring recumbent bicycles for 2016. Codenamed "Adroit", new recumbent bike frames now support road bike and mountain bike wheel dropout widths. Frames accommodate larger range of small riders and larger rider sizes. Models affected are Giro, Giro ATT, Giro ATT-20, Giro ATT-26, ATT-700, possibly Corsa 650 and Corsa 700.
In an increasingly competitive market, HP Velotechnik is taking pre-emptive measures against the impending arrival of Catrike's new full-suspension Dumont model.
