Tour the trails.
GrassHopper. Enjoy the comfortable way of cycling.
GrassHopper is the new touring recumbent from HP Velotechnik. With the fully suspended compact sporty bike the German recumbent specialists address cyclists who enjoy a fast ride and seek maximum seating comfort.
The ergonomically shaped BodyLink recumbent seat (or alternatively the new ErgoMesh seat) and the bottom bracket that lies with 67 cm (26“) significantly above the seating height of 54 cm (21“) support an aerodynamic riding position so that the rider stays fresh and relaxed on a long ride. Both effects make the GrassHopper the perfect touring bike.
"Imagine you get off your bike after a long sporty riding day and the only ache you're feeling is a tingling in your thighs. You can simply relax about an aching bottom, numb private parts, aching intervertebral discs or a stiff neck", CEO Paul Hollants describes the most prominent advantage of the new recumbent.
Who likes riding upright against the wind, anyway?
New for 2008: The foldable GrassHopper fx recumbent. The perfect pleasure ride for spontaneous tours in distant regions. Easy folding in 60 seconds to fit in trunks and train compartments leaves no more handy excuses. The folding dimensions for above seat steering models (96x60x70cm / 38x24x28“) and under seat steering models ( 96x50x70cm / 38x20x28“) speak volumes. A very compact package, though we increased the wheel base by 5 cm / 2“ to give you an even more relaxed and joyful ride with or without luggage.
