Entry-level folding recumbent tricycle
As exciting as Greenspeed recumbent trikes are, there have always been some hold-outs who wanted them to be a little less expensive and a little less bulky to transport.... Enter the GT1>
Where first generation GT1's used planetary gear systems to compensate for the small rear wheel, current generation uses the simple new Shimano Capreo gear-set is coupled with a standard triple crankset.
This now gives the GT1 24 gears with a range from 19 to 95 inches - similar to a mountain bike gear range and adequate for most recreational uses. A wider, lower or higher gear-ranges can be accomplished with the Rohloff Speedhub or Schlumpf Speed-Drive.
The wheels are 16" all around, giving the trike a quick, sporty feel and a narrow track.
Reliable drum brakes allow easy wheel removal and maintenance-free operation.
The GT1 includes as standard equipment:
- side-view mirror
- rear fender (mudguard)
- safety flag
- dynamo, head light, and tail light mounts
Other options available for the GT1 are head rests, front fenders (mudguards), 2nd side-view mirror, and the dynamo lighting sets.
