Headrests

A large appeal of the recumbent tricycle is comfort, and a head rest

will take this concept one step further. The head rest is made up of a

foam rubber, contoured pad, and two cromoly struts. The two struts

allow you to position the rest both fore and aft, as well as up and

down. We suggest positioning the rest around 1/4 to 1/2 an inch

behind the nape of your neck. This gives room for your helmet and

allows easy head checks. If you set the rest up too close, you may get

a little nudge from the odd bumps on the road. Head rests come

with a full instruction set and are very quick to adjust and

remove.

Pannier Bags

Arkel's RT-60 pannier bags where designed on our request as a

recumbent specific pannier bag. Arkel have a very diverse range of

bags to suit different life styles and needs, so we knew they were the

right people for the job.

The front of the bags is contoured to fit with the back of the seat for

extra storage and give better aerodynamics and the horizontal

design allows for better ground clearance. Arkel also include

reflective strips (360 º) for maximum visibility and safety, a padded

perimeter with rigid shelf and wire brace so the pannier will not sag.

Volume is 60 litres; 3650 cubic inches. Weight is 2.8kg; 6.2 lbs.

Front Fenders

Front fenders are one of our most popular accessories and for many

people our most practical one. Front fenders help to keep to all the

muck on the road off you. The mounts are made from cromoly

tubing and the fenders are a sandwich of plastic and aluminium.

Fender sets come with mudflaps, which help protect the fenders

from being damaged by curbs, and reflectors for visibility. Toothed

washers stop the mounts from twisting, and a jam nut is also

provided if you only have one mirror on your trike. Installing or

removing a set takes around 3-5 mins. Full instructions are

provided.

Lighting Sets

We have two options for the lighting system with either the B&M 6v

dynamo system or the B&M 12v dynamo system. All frames are fitted

with a dynamo mount, so that one may be added at any point. The 6v

system comes with dynamo, oval front light with reflector, D-top rear

light with reflector and 200º visibility and an L.E.D light for the top of

the seat. The 12v system is the same set-up, but much more powerful

and recommended for use where there is poor or no street lighting.

Both systems use capacitors that will keep the lights shining for around

5 mins after you stop. This means you are seen while stationary and

can give you time to read a map or lock up your trike.

Dynamos are highly recommended as just like the essence of cycling, it you who is

creating the power. They are also the ecological choice as there are no batteries required.
