A brand new announcement from HPVelotechnik - a folding version of the Scorpion trike! The Scorpion fx folds down in 60 seconds without tools to a package 102 x 89 x 63 cms - another 90 seconds and one 5mm allen key gets the front wheels and mudguards off so the Scorpion fx is small enough to fit into a Smart car boot.
No other recumbent trike folds so small so quickly - and yet the fx has the same alloy frame and back suspension of it’s non-folding brother - the seat is 9cms higher and more upright to give an excellent touring position, and the lowrider and rear carriers let you carry four panniers (the sportier non-folding Scorpion carries two).
Above: The 60-second no-tools fold.
Below: After another 90 seconds and a 5mm allen key.
Some specifications:
Seat height: 35cms, Track: 79cms, Wheelbase: 102cms, Width: 83cms
Turning circle: 3.9m, Suspension travel: 9cms, Weight: 17.1kgs
