The
Speedmachine (above) is faster, more efficient and more comfortable than
you would ever have thought possible. It's an ergonomic machine dedicated
to absolute speed. You have probably never ridden a bike this fast or
this comfortable. In fact you probably assumed that gain meant pain. But
the Speedmachine rewrites the rules. By combining a super-oversized aluminium
frame, a full suspension ride and a totally ergonomic riding position
with perhaps the smallest frontal area on the planet, we have created
a machine to give you incredible performance along with total comfort.
Remember,
at racing speeds it's not weight that slows you down, its the effort
of pushing through the atmosphere. On the Speedmachine your body is an
arrow, cutting through the air with ease and giving you a seriously unfair
advantage. And in this riding position your entire body is supported,
so that your weight is distributed over the largest possible area. No
pressure points!
Our suspension system is fully integrated
into the frame design, it's fully tuneable for performance and works completely
independently of your pedalling force. We call this "No Squat",
and it is a system that has been perfected over thousands of miles of
extreme roads by our team of test riders. What it means is, if you accelerate
uphill, you accelerate. And because it isolates you completely from the
road, your energy goes entirely into forward motion. It works, so that
you don't have to.
We haven't neglected the accessories either.
We can offer an integrated luggage rack, proper mudguards and the best
lighting system you can buy. Four seat sizes ensure the perfect fit.

The
Street Machine design has become the classic standard for fully suspended
compact recumbent bikes. Now that the Street Machine has been ridden for
thousands of miles all over the world, we're ready to take the next step
forward. We have taken the classic Street Machine design and combined it
with the fruits of our experience to reach for the next level of sophistication.
The result is a completely new model: the Street Machine Gran tourismo.

GrassHopper
is the new touring recumbent from HP Velotechnik. With the fully suspended
compact sporty bike the German recumbent specialists address cyclists who
enjoy a fast ride and seek maximum seating comfort.
The ergonomically shaped BodyLink recumbent
seat and the bottom bracket that lies with 67 cm (26) significantly
above the seating height of 54 cm (21) support an aerodynamic riding
position so that the rider stays fresh and relaxed on a long ride. Both
effects make the GrassHopper the perfect touring bike.
"Imagine you get off your bike after
a long sporty riding day and the only ache you're feeling is a tingling
in your thighs. You can simply relax about an aching bottom, numb private
parts, aching intervertebral discs or a stiff neck", CEO Paul Hollants
describes the most prominent advantage of the new recumbent.
Who likes riding upright against the wind,
anyway? |

The
retro styling of our new EZ Sport brings back the nostalgia of the
50s and 60's and may be the most user-friendly of all recumbents.
The EZ Sport handles all kinds of terrain with aplomb and is excellent
for trail riding.

The
new EZ-3 Trike is here! Fast and stable, our new trike will get
you where you want to go in comfort and style. Priced right, the
EZ-3 costs half as much as any other recumbent trike on the market.
Our trike features a rear disk brake, and a "parking brake".
Building on the success of the EZ-1 Super Cruiser, the new
EZ-3 Trike is the best value on the market.
