Frame
- 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

90 mm (3,5 inches) allowing an inclination of up to 26°. Coupling
of transverse link via maintenance-free rubber bearings in the vehicle frame. |
| Rear: |
Longitudinal swinging arm with a spring
excursion of 90 mm (3,5 inches).
Adjustable shock absorbing legs for optimum adaptation to the rider's weight. |

Steering
stub axle 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. |
|
| |
|
|
|
Front
bearings 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. |

|
Steering 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 |
|
| |
|
|
|
Operation
- 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. |

Gearing 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.. |

Chain
drive Primary drive:
Fully encapsulated chain drive inside the frame.
Front chain wheel: z1=32, rear
sprocket z2=32 (Standard)
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) Lmin=1.27 m / 4 feet, Lmax=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, Lmax = 14 m / 46 feet |
