In the groundbreaking class of fast electric bikes, HP Velotechnik’s Scorpion fs 26 S-Pedelec focuses on secure and stable road handling for a multi-track vehicle with innovative chassis technology from the automotive engineering sector. The touring trike’s low center of gravity and the solid rider support in the ergonomically-designed recumbent seat enables dynamic acceleration. While all HP Velotechnik trikes can be equipped with an electric motor to become a Pedelec with supported speeds of up to 25 km/h (16 mph) within the EU or 32 km/h (20 mph, US Class 1), only the Scorpion fs 26 S-Pedelec has been engineered for a maximum motor supported speed of 45 km/h (28 mph). In the USA this trike meets all requirements for a Class 3 electric bicycle.
Thanks to the efficient recumbent position, the low air resistance extends the rechargeable battery’s range, especially at the high assisted speeds of up to 45 km/h (28 mph). At such high speeds, a welldesigned, full-suspension chassis is extremely important. The Scorpion fs 26 touring trike is the perfect base vehicle for powerful motorization and high average speeds of over 25 km/h (16 mph).
Mobile Future with Stamp and Seal
The speed pedelec is driven by a powerful and almost noiseless rear wheel hub motor with a rated peak power of 1000 watts. The German manufacturer claims an efficiency of more than 85 %. The standard equipment of the Scorpion fs 26 S-Pedelec includes a starting aid, which pushes the vehicle up to 4 km/h (2.5 mph), even without pedalling.
Plenty of energy is supplied by a Li-Ion battery with a capacity of 651 Wh.
