150% riding pleasure. More and more active people are leaning back and discovering the unique sitting comfort and energy-saving aerodynamics offered by an HP Velotechnik recumbent. The sporty Scorpion lets you experience how fun, cornering stability, and touring capability can go together in this ultimate performance trike.
Just a glance at the Scorpion lets you know that the stable track and low center of gravity provide secure road-holding for optimum control at all speeds. The robust wheels are placed further forward for better braking performance. Having both front wheels in your field of view at all times lets you easily avoid road obstacles. A protector layer in the tire protects the Scorpionagainst thorns, broken glass and other enemies.
The large 26″ rear wheel with its low rolling resistance gives the rider a spirited ride in any conditions Your Scorpion has a door-friendly track width (83cm or 33 inches) letting you roll your “new-best-friend” through most standard doors. Unless you decide to turn around for another ride, that is. After all, the highly agile speedster only needs a 5.4 m (17’9″) turning circle.
It has never been easier for you to accept our invitation to try out the comfortable seat since the crossbar on the robust, lightweight aluminum frame sweeps elegantly backward to allow getting onto the trike easily: Simply stand in front of the seat and gently lower yourself down.
