Unfolds lots of driving pleasure
With the pedal positioned significantly higher
than the seat, an
efficient power transmission is facilitated and alongside the optionally
adjustable reclined seating position underscores the sporty nature of
your Gekko.
The comfortable ergo handlebars
under the seat are built to relieve your
wrists and neck muscles. HP Velotechnik's tried and tested steering
geometry combines smooth directional stability with impressive
maneuverability. Solid bearing with adjustable cartridge headset on the
handlebar and maintenance-free sealed joint heads on the tie rods. The
lightweight, high strength knuckles are forged and CNC machined for
maximum tracking stability. They are mounted with durable, adjustable
headsets rather outside on the frame.

|
The HP Velotechnik seat system creates an exemplary ergonomic connection
at the main interface between the rider and the trike. The
well-ventilated mesh seat of the Gekko is integrated in the frame
structure for maximum stability. The seat features an anatomically
shaped, adjustable reclining backrest and a handy zippered pocket for
your important little things.

The Gekko has a very safe braking action due to the low center of
gravity and the long wheelbase. The standard disc brakes ensure maximum
braking power even in bad weather. The front wheels are controlled
separately so that you can selectively brake the inner wheel when
cornering. Due to HP Velotechnik's sophisticated steering geometry,
there is no effect on the steering when braking. On request, we mount
mechanically or hydraulically coupled front brakes with one-hand
operation and a V-brake on the rear wheel as a parking brake.

|
|
After loosening the two clamping bolts at the frame bottom, the frame is
set to your leg length by sliding the front boom in or out from the main
frame. With the optional quick frame adjustment, the length can be
adjusted more quickly. The chain length modification is compensated by
smooth pulleys. By sliding in the front boom during transport, your
Gekko is even more compact.

|
The optional sturdy luggage rack is made of 10 mm tube and carries up to
25 kg. Your bags are held by the two-strut structure at a safe distance
from the rear wheel. Practical detail: Integrated hoop guard for the
rear light. When folding the rack remains fixed to the frame.

|
|
Protects your clothes and the chain: The drive is virtually completely
covered. The special chain guide tubes made of durable plastic ensure
minimum friction and quiet operation.

Protection against wind and weather: The
Streamer
front fairing from HP
Velotechnik keeps your feet warm and legs dry. It can be easily removed
via quick release lever and can be rolled up for transport.

|
HP Velotechnik's Trikefender offers an excellent splash protection,
especially on the side of the rider. Elegant, internal mounting with
height adjustment for tires up to 50 mm (2").

|
Hand rest: a real increase in comfort for all trike drivers. The hands
steer lightly without having to support the weights of the lower arm.
The comfortably padded hand rests can be individually adjusted to all
angles and inclinations. Also available with a possibility to fixate the
lower arm – an ideal add-on for the one-hand operation of brakes and
drivetrain.

Do you offer
electric drive assistance?
Certainly we do – this is
another domain of our trikes! Every vehicle from HP Velotechnik can be
equiped optionally with an eletric driving assistance. More an more
people discover the easy way of riding a trike while sitting absolutely
comfortable. The megatrend "E-Bike" is here coming to a peak. The
aerodynamic position of the rider is to save energy so your valuable
battery capacity can be used for an efficiently extensive riding
pleasures. The technic will be integrated without any problems into the
chassis. That does not only take effect for the hub motor in the rear
wheel, but as well for the control unit at the handlebar and the
rechargable battery – and as a very special feature you can assemble
your trike with a second battery to double the range.
