• Self supporting frame of fibre composite and aluminium.
  The frame is divided into three parts consisting of a middle part made of aluminium, and a front or rear part, respectively, made of CFP or GFP.
  CFP = Carbon fibre reinforced plastic,
  GFP = Glass fibre reinforced plastic.
• The frame parts are riveted and bonded together.
• The aluminium centre part of the frame is available either in unpainted aluminium or black.
• The standard carrier box (rear) has a load capacity of 20 litres. It's lid can be locked and is situated below the two upper bars of the seat.
• Alternatively, the rear part is also supplied in an aluminium construction on which the usual carrier systems and infant seats may be mounted.
• The frame of the vehicle contains the fully encapsulated primary chain drive.
  The adjustment to driver size takes place by shifting the pedal wheel. Chain length does not need to be changed for this process

.

• Size 1: For riders of a height of 1,65 m - 1,85 m (5,5 feet - 6,0 feet)
• Size 2: For riders of a height of 1,80 m - 2,00 m (6,0 feet - 6,5 feet)

Comfortable seat construction with softly cushioned durable seat struts facilitating easy access of the air to the body.

26"-spoked wheels or, optionally, four or three-spoked carbon wheels in the front and a carbon disk wheel in the rear.

(virtually all 26"-tires available on themarket may be mounted)

The steering axle is arranged at an inclined angle so that the roll radius reaches zero and a castor of 55 mm (2 inches) results. This gives great riding comfort and the steering arm is not affected by impacts on the front wheel.

The stub axle in the wishbone is arranged in pivoting bearings of tool steel. The bearing clearance may be adjusted.

Sealed heavy-duty ball bearings provide minimum resistance to rolling and maximum resistance to contamination.

The special arrangement of the bearings ensures fast disassembly by removing only one screw. Adjustment of the bearing clearance is superfluous.

The steering trapeze under the frame of the vehicle safeguards exact and more pronounced turning of the inner wheel when changing directions.

Turning cycle: 5 m / 16 feet

• Right lever: Adjustment of inclination.
• Left lever: Adjustment of the degree of turning of the wheels.
• Example left turn: Pull left steering lever backwards, push the right inclination lever forward.

The vehicle is, however, only steered and inclined via the turning lever (left lever). The right lever merely serves the easy correction of the inclination and keeps the vehicle vertical at very low speeds. This steering principle is easily mastered after a short introductory period and is decisive for the unique fun riding a Tripendo offers.

Gear components 3 x 8 or 3 x 9 Shimano Deore or Deore XT.
Very easy gear changing by 3 x 8 means of an EGS Synchro-Shift twist-grip shift.
The front and rear gear changers are operated simultaneously through this single twist-grip. This does away with trouble some thinking and excessive chain skew, since only the 12 most useful ratios of the 24 possibilities can actually be selected.
If desired, a 14-gear Rohloff hub can be supplied..

Secondary drive:
Gears 3 x 8 or 3x9 Shimano Deore.
Chain wheel combination: 22/32/44.
Sprocket: 11-34 for Shimano Deore XT, 11-32 for Shimano Deore.

Development:
(distance travelled by 1 tread crank rotation) L_min=1.27 m / 4 feet, L_max=7.88 / 26 feet m.

The development may be increased by the optional reduction of the rear sprocket z₂ of the primary drive:
z₂ =18,   L_max = 14 m / 46 feet
