Scorpion - HP Velotechnik's fast and comfortable touring trike.
Desire makes the route seem shorter. So does the right position.When riding the Scorpion, you offer minimum wind resistance
without hunching over. This makes you quick – and your trips enjoyable. Even at a relaxed pace, you still cut a fine figure.
You're right on track. Lean back in the airy ErgoMesh seat or the adjustable BodyLink hard shell seat. They are both good for your
bottom, your spinal discs, and your family planning. As flexible as life itself, they provide comfortable support for dynamic sprints.
Everyday is a thing of the past. Lean back and relax. The Scorpion makes your commute to work a deeply enjoyable trip.
When heading off into the blue, you can finally see the sky again. And can breathe deeply. Could there be any better exercise bike?

Prize-winning design: The Scorpion has been awarded with the
Eurobike-Award 2006. For 2008, the Scorpion has been nominated for the design award of the Federal Republic of Germany. |

The BodyLink seat fits your body like a glove. Seat base angle, seat back angle and length are fully adjustable. The lower seat pan gives some side support, while the upper seat gives enough room so that you can lean into curves for maximum cornering speed. Optional headrest and airflow seat cushion for optimum
ventilation.

Alternatively, you can mount our breathable ErgoMesh seat. It comes with an ergonomic side cushioning that provides extra side support when cornering, and a practical seat pocket integrated into the back rest of the seat. For extra safety is is equipped with reflective stripes on its sides. Both seats fit onto the same frame mounts and can be removed from the bike within 15 seconds by qick release mounts - this comes extra handy when parking the bike in the rain or for transport in your car. The ErgoMesh seat will give you a 3 cm higher seat hight compared to the BodyLink seat; with the extra high ErgoMesh HS seat your seat will be 11 cm higher. A higher seat position offers a better view in traffic and you can get easlily on and off your trike, however, with a higher seat your trike could tip over sooner when riding fast in narrow corners.

suspension and protects your equipment.The ideal accessories for the big journey: Our comfort options as the adjustable headrest and the

Optimized protection with elegant lines: HP Velotechnik's own design department developped the "Trikefender", robust fenders specially designed for trike use. The inner surface and the bottom edge are designed to provide maximum rider protection against spray, especially when cornering. The mounting elements with integrated height adjustment are installed shielded facing inwards to the rider. The round profile with 2 ¼ inch width enables you to mount wide comfortable tires up to 2 inches.

Due to the low centre of gravity and the well balanced weight distribution the Scorpion handles fine even when braking hard. The standard disc brakes offer great stopping power, allowing for a fast yet safely controllable downhill ride. Each wheel has it’s own brake lever so you can concentrate the braking power at the inner wheel in sharp turns. HP Velotechnik’s steering geometry avoids any unsafe brake steer. Optional mechanically or hydraulically coupled front brakes for one-hand operation of both brakes.

Optional V-brake at the rear wheel as parking brake, operated by a thumbshifter at the handlebar.

Our
No-Squat suspension system is integrated into the frame design. It is fully tunable for performance and works completely independently of your pedalling force. What it means is, if you accelerate uphill, you accelerate. And because it isolates you completely from the road, your energy goes entirely into forward motion.

|
|
You can tow trailers (double track) of up to 88 lbs weight. (Without rear rack. Chariot clamp-coupling is compatible with rear rack. For customers in Europe that use the Weber-coupling we provide an adaptor to attach the copuling even with racks installed.)

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 (Go SwissDrive) or the bottom bracket motor at the end of the front boom (Shimano STEPS),
but as well for the control unit at the handlebar and the
rechargable battery – and as a very special feature when chosen the Go SwissDrive option you can assemble
your trike with a second battery to double the range!
