About our Trikes
Unless you've already ridden the state of the art Hase "Kettweisel Ride" recumbent trike, you are in for a real "Wow, I had no idea!" experience. They pretty much allow all the joy of bike riding to prevail and eliminate all of the negatives (saddle sores anyone?). They go fast. They go really slow. They allow for total visibility and awareness of your surroundings due to your upright body position. Your shoulders, neck muscles, and arms are all relaxed and in an anatomically correct position. The seatback and seat are broad, supporting, and COMFORTABLE!
Balance is not an issue. It's a tricycle. You're sitting about 16" off the ground which makes the trikes almost impossible to tip. Stop completely, if you wish, and keep your feet on the pedals. Wind resistance is also cut dramatically due to your lower body positioning
The trikes hook up in tandem, triple, or more (more than 60 have been hooked up in-line). Each trike retains independent pedaling or coasting ability. In other words, riders of any ability or energy level can be part of the experience.
Pedaling power goes to both back wheels. Stay on the blacktop or take to the hiking trails and hills. Hase's exclusive rear differential is amazing.
If you thought you'd "finally arrived" when you were a kid and graduated from your 3 wheeler to a two wheel bike... well, guess what? Keep your two-wheeler but you're going to fall in love with 3 wheels all over again.
