Description

The luggage champion for the grand tour

With the world premiere Scorpion fx 26, HP Velotechnik presents its new trekking trike for long distances at the Eurobike trade fair / More luggage, more suspension travel, more ground clearance and a higher seat

With the Scorpion fx 26, HP Velotechnik has raised the benchmark for touring bikes. The sturdy vehicle is not only ready to carry huge amounts of luggage. As a handcrafted recumbent trike, it offers unique seating comfort, especially over long distances. It is ergonomically perfectly adjustable.

The manufacturer's modular component system opens up a wide range of customization options. This freedom of choice is particularly useful for touring cyclists looking for highly functional equipment. For example, they can choose from seven gears for the Scorpion fx 26, or they can select their favorite from 11 combinations of four electric motors with different gearings.

The key figures of the Scorpion fx 26 speak for themselves. With a payload of 150 kilos, the trike is in the range of some cargo bikes. The payload alone is up to 63 kilos (139 lbs), and the luggage can be distributed over nine attachment points. That is more than many upright touring bikes.

The Scorpion fx 26 also makes a statement in terms of suspension and ground clearance. 100 mm (3.93") of suspension travel in combination with the striking 26-inch rear wheel provide outstanding seating and riding comfort even on rough roads. The large rear wheel easily brushes away roots and potholes and, together with the long wheelbase, ensures an extremely smooth ride on the Scorpion.

Paul Hollants, the Managing Director of the manufacture, adds: “But if the road gets really bumpy, the ground clearance of 160 mm makes all the difference. No recumbent trike from HP Velotechnik has ever had so much clearance!“ The frame design harmoniously combines this with a mid-height seat position of 38 cm (15") in the mesh seat. Panorama-loving bike touring fans can even go as high as 49 cm (19.3") with the option High seat.

There is an extra plus for globetrotters or those who often want to take their trike with them on the train or in the car. The Scorpion fx 26 is foldable. In just one minute, the frame can be reduced from 221 cm (7'3") length and 83 cm (33") width to a compact 111 x 83 x 66 cm (3.6' x 2.7' x 2.2').

The Scorpion fx 26 is available in the standard colors Cool Grey metallic and Pearl orange as well as in approx. 400 special colors at an extra charge. It will be available from specialist dealers from € 4790 from August. Prices for the versions with motor start at € 6280.
