HP Velotechnik will continue to supply Shimano Steps motors.

New accessories available:

Side support for handlebar bags . They were already available in other brands, including universal and compatible with HP Velotechnik, but the German brand has just launched its own accessory. It is used to use a traditional bike handlebar bag on a recumbent tricycle. It is placed on one side of the seat and its contents can be accessed without leaving the seat, even while driving. The support does not compromise the foldability of the trikes but it does prevent the Gekko models from moving by dragging once folded. See

Upper rack for Scorpion 26 rack . With the launch of the Scorpion trikes with a 26-inch rear wheel, HP Velotechnik designed a low rack (to keep the center of gravity low) and no top rack, which made it impossible to fit a top bag. Users missed this, and a few years later, it launched the grill as an independent accessory. This way, anyone who wants to attach a top bag can do so, but anyone who prefers to carry only a pair of saddlebags does not need the rack. The grill does not restrict the folding capacity of folding models. See

Universal accessory mount . A universal mount that improves the placement of accessories on the handlebars. Until now, a horn-type support was necessary, with less versatility and functionality and depending on the gear system used, this conditioned its placement. The universal support allows you to carry any device (mobile phone, camera, GPS) at a height that is comfortable for viewing and handling by hand. See

Second cover for Gekko seats . For those looking for extra comfort on their Gekko trike, HP has designed this breathable, extra padded seat cover that also provides the feeling of a wider seat. This cover does not compromise the folding of the trike but it does limit the folding of the seat. See

Gekko seat angle adjuster . If you find that the seat of your Gekko is too reclined for your liking, you now have an adjustment plate that serves to increase its verticality. It attaches to the top anchorage of the seat and provides 9 more degrees of verticality. This accessory can be removed at any time. See
