The Hand-Powered Drive for Trikes From HP Velotechnik
Our Hands-On-Cycle handbike module is a revolutionary concept in which a single sub-assembly turns a foot-operated bicycle into a hand-operated vehicle. In practice, this means that handcycling has never been so safe and inclusive for people with disabilities.
The fully encapsulated hand cycle drive is mounted on HP Velotechnik’s proven trikes: 20 years of experience in tricycle construction merge with Hands-On-Cycle‘s groundbreaking design to create a uniquely elegant, compact and comfortable combination.
Thanks to Hands-On-Cycle, you can, once again, set off on bicycle tours and bike excursions with family and friends. And most comfortable: The sturdy base vehicles, Scorpion fs 20, Gekko fx 26 and for the USA in addition Gekko 26 are ideal also on bad roads, the Scorpion is even fully suspended.
Unique integration: HP Velotechnik integrates the hand-operated drive including gears and cables in a closed housing. This is an enormous safety advantage. With the Hands-On-Cycle you avoid contact of with rotating and oily drive parts with your upper body and arms. Other advantages over conventional handcycles: The vehicles have an astonishingly small turning circle, and the tidy cockpit offers the best possible operating comfort.
The Hands-On-Cycle can be seamlessly adjusted for people with a height of ca. 1.60 to 2.00 m (5.2′ – 6.6′) and arm lengths of ca. 70 to 94 cm (27.5″ – 37″). Optimizations are possible in all three dimensions here. The length adjustment range of the Hands-On-Cycle unit in the main frame is 6 cm (2.4″); the footrest can be extended by up to 14 cm (5.5″).
The pole has an adjustment angle of 14°. The grip width can be varied between 52 and 62 cm (20.5″ – 24.4″). Another possibility for adjustments is offered by the flexible seat systems from HP Velotechnik.
