The Trike Cargo Hybrid is part of our vision for the future of cleaner urban transport. A brand-new concept in its own right and a co-development with input from BMW, it combines the easy handling of a 'normal' hybrid bike with the versatility of a cargo bike and the safety and stability of three wheels. The unique tilting mechanism de-couples the load at the rear from the bike at the front, giving a natural feel to cornering. At the rear, the lightweight and tough cargo box is waterproof and lockable – the ideal way to transport just about anything across town, up to a load of 50kg. There's even a storage compartment in the main frame, and the option to fit a front rack. With a short wheelbase, easy handling and tight turning circle all designed to beat the urban traffic and make parking easy, the future's looking brighter already.
Highlights
Gravity Casting
Gravity Casting moulds liquid aluminium into highly complex frame sections, resulting in extremely strong structures that can better withstand stress. For example, with our Hybrid models we're able to produce a motor mount that's optimised to cope with the loads placed on it in this specialised application, without adding unnecessary weight or sacrificing strength.
Comfort Ride Geometry
As you might expect, our Comfort Ride Geometry delivers maximum comfort on two wheels. Because after all, who doesn't want a comfortable ride? We sweated the details of frame angles and dimensions to create a natural-feeling ride position and the ideal combination of stability and agility, so you not only feel comfortable but safe, too.
One Size Concept
The flexible One Size Concept makes a bike so versatile it can be used by anyone, of any height. The saddle and stem easily adjust up or down to suit any rider from around 5ft 2in to 6ft 2in (1.60m to 1.90m), so everyone can have a comfortable, relaxing ride. It's the ideal bike to share: for the whole family, partners, friends, neighbours or colleagues. Or keep it for yourself as the perfect companion for wherever life takes you.
Downtube Storage
Our Downtube Storage provides an ingenious way of carrying your posessions in a lockable, integrated and secure compartment. With removable dividers, a rain-proof cover and easy access, it's the ideal way to carry anything from a waterproof jacket to some snacks, a pair of gloves... whatever you need.
EPP Foam Box
Carrying larger loads means having somewhere to put them, and that's where our EPP Foam Box comes in. Extremely light but also tough and durable, it gives our Cargo bike the versatility you'll need to carry just about any load you can think of safely and securely.
Two driven rear wheels help give our Trike Hybrid the exceptional grip and stability that make it such a versatile beast. To achieve this, we developed a constant velocity joint and differential – borrowing from automotive technology – so that each wheel can be driven indepedently. It's a maintenance-free, single component designed to handle high mileage. Just enjoy the ride.
To give our Trike Hybrid its exceptional stability and natural ride feel, we gave it an innovative tilting mechanism. The front of the bike leans naturally into corners with the rider, leaving the load area upright with both rear wheels giving maximum grip. The result is that it feels like riding a regular bike, even if you're carrying a cargo load or bringing your kids along in the child seats.
