Mountain-Triking at Its Best!

Scorpion fs 26 Enduro: Automotive Chassis Suspension for an Impressive Off-Road Experience

Think Green: Anyone who has previously considered recumbent trikes to be road speedsters only for their extraordinary ergonomics and aerodynamic advantages will have to do some rethinking: With the Scorpion fs 26 Enduro, HP Velotechnik sends trike fans right onto the trails for joyous off-road tours. Mighty MTB studded tires and automotive chassis technology combine to create an extraordinary exciting ride.

The stunning Scorpion fs 26 Enduro trike guarantees full-suspension off-road pleasures on tree-root lined trails, on downhill trails, and in bike parks – in other words: mountain-triking at its best! Since its first presentation, the Scorpion fs 26 Enduro has not only held up the endorphin at high levels for many off-road fans. The stylish trike also convinced the jury at the Eurobike fair in Friedrichshafen in late August 2013: the jurors awarded the prestigious Eurobike Award to HP Velotechnik for their eye-catching Enduro trike. The Award honors the “particularly innovative design and outstanding product quality.”

The Full Suspension Chassis of the Scorpion fs 26 Enduro

From the very first glance at the off-road recumbent trike Scorpion fs 26 Enduro, you begin to feel your heart beating. The bright green full suspension frame with sky blue accents and the powerful studded 26 inch rear wheel state very clearly: This off-road machine is eager for some serious dirt rides!

Chassis technology derived from automotive engineering: HP Velotechnik’s independent wheel suspension with McPherson struts and stabilizer system on the wishbones delivers optimum riding dynamics. Whether you are riding fast fire roads, bumpy root gardens or challenging bridleways: the well-engineered and trail-proven full suspension chassis guarantees a safe and stable handling you can rely on.

The entire chassis is designed using our No Squat suspension concept and transmits all of your drive energy to the road without any loss of power. In return, you enjoy complete comfort so that you can lean back and relax while dynamically accelerating, even on rocky roads.

With the Scorpion fs 26, you have the best equipment for exhilarating trike tours ready to go. The advanced steering geometry (ASG) system enables you to control the trike smoothly and precisely. You benefit from a small turning circle even though the big rear wheel demands for more space in the chassis. The long wheelbase of your Scorpion fs 26 Enduro gives you a noticeable plus in comfort, safety, and riding pleasure.

Your advantage: Precise cornering control and increased safety when braking!

We have adapted the drivetrain to the requirements off-road: The basic 30 gears are achieved by combining a Sturmey Archer 3-speed hub with the 10-speed sprocket and Shimano XT rear derailleur. This setup gives you an impressive gear menu you can choose from with the click of your thumbs. For this widely spread gear system, the distinctive Sram GX single crankset upfront adds some neat eye candy! Alternatively, you can choose the Pinion C1.12 front gearbox as an almost indestructible shifting option.

Enduro goes E-Trike. If you wish, you can also equip the offroad recumbent mountain trike Scorpion fs 26 Enduro, like all models from HP Velotechnik, with a powerful and efficient electric-assist system: choose between the neodrives hub motor or the STEPS drive from Shimano.

Through the electric motor support of up to 25 km/h (16 mph, 20 mph for USA-version) it’s not only that steep climbs become less daunting. With the Scorpion fs 26 Enduro as an e-trike, it’s easy to take your partner on the trails, even if differences in exercise level or riding experience were an issue before. Moreover, the exciting world of mountain biking becomes accessible to a much wider audience: people with special needs, veterans or injured people can now experience exciting outdoor activities off-road from the comfortable seat of HP Velotechnik’s stable Enduro trike and get some extra support from the powerful motor whenever they want to! For extra long trips, the second battery option from HP Velotechnik instantly doubles the maximum range.

Even when you are off-road: From now on you no longer have to miss out on the comfortable seating position and safe road holding of our tadpole trikes!

Comfortable Off-Road and in Transport

With the Scorpion fs 26, HP Velotechnik presented its first full-suspension speed trike with a smooth-running 26-inch rear wheel, that can be folded flat for transport without the use of tools. With the Scorpion fs 26 Enduro, the expert designers at trike specialist HP Velotechnik added another dimension: superb ride comfort inspired by automotive engineering to cope with all the obstacles that off-road riding can offer.

All the outstanding features of the Scorpion series can be found on the Scorpion fs 26 Enduro as well: in just a few simple steps, it only takes a minute for you to fold up your Scorpion fs 26 Enduro into a space-saving package with dimensions of 123 × 83 × 62 cm (49 x 33 x 25″). If you remove the wheels as well, the dimensions reduce even further to a compact 93 × 74 × 54 cm (37 x 29 x 22″). Even with the optional luggage rack attached, the offroad recumbent mountain trike can still be folded up without removing the wheels. And the chain? The chain rotates around its axis and otherwise reliably remains where it should be, guided by the flexible chain guard tubes.

The best part: When you unfold the trike, HP Velotechnik’s unique, self-locking folding hinge enables you to turn your excited anticipation into pure riding pleasure quickly!

FAQ

Scorpion fs 26 Enduro Frequently Asked Questions

foldable mtb trike scorpion fs 26 enduro

The characteristics of our trikes depend on many factors. The wheel size is only one. HP Velotechnik optimized the geometry of each model for specific characteristics (with or without full suspension, foldable or not foldable, small rear wheel or large rear wheel, etc.). A conversion in this area would harm the overall balanced system and thus on the driving characteristics – therefore our trikes are not intended for such a conversion.

In our concept, the specialist trade is the central sales pillar. Our selected and trained specialist dealers can advise you in detail. Above all, however, they offer a promptly available service locally, which we cannot provide within the framework of our manufactory with some production processes planned for the long term. For these reasons we also do not sell directly to the customer at the factory.

A lot works with a lot – but not everything is compatible with everything. This is obvious with some combinations: a hub gear plus a hub motor in the same rear wheel is not possible. The easiest way to choose your specifications: Enter your whishes in our online configurator – we’ve programmed it with all possible combinations, compatibility, and descriptions on our component choices. For detailed advice on choosing the best option for your desired application, please contact your specialist dealer.

System weight means the weight of rider + luggage + bike (if applicable incl. motor). The payload refers to driver + luggage. In practical terms, this means that if you chose a motor for your bike, you have to subtract its weight from the possible payload. At the maximum payload specified for the Scorpion fs 26 Enduro, we make a distinction: When used as a travel trike on the road, the same requirements apply as for the Scorpion fs 26. If the trike is used off-road, we will take into account the much higher stress there with the reduced permitted payload.

For the rear wheel, HP Velotechnik offers a splash guard designed especially for off-road use. It’s different with the front wheels: The tires optimized for off-road use are so wide that the Trikefenders designed for our road trikes don’t fit. However, it is always possible to fit narrower tires (up to 50 mm / 2″) and then retrofit the Enduro trike with Trikefenders.

The Scorpion fs 26 Enduro is a full-suspension action trike designed for use in rough terrain. Extreme sports activities such as freeride or downhill MTBs are not possible; jumping is expressly not permitted. Also, the structural design limits the range of applications. You must always take into account the width of the vehicle (83 cm / 33″ at the front wheels) and the ground clearance (12 cm / 5″ statically compressed). However, you can ride many flow trails in bike parks comfortably.
