Ideas and Solutions

Although many well-developed bicycle parts can be used in a bicycle, you can quickly reach your limits. In the end, a bicycle trike or aquad often has more in common with a small car.

We have always been able to use the bicycle well:

• Wheels, tires, wheel hubs,
• brakes, bowden tensions, brake lines,
• Pedals, pedalling, chains, chains, chains,
• Bicycle lighting,
• Electric drive kit with 250 W.

However, we had to go our own ways with the following components:
frame,

• axles and suspension,
• Differential gearbox,
• hand drive mechanism,
• front pulpit, full car.

Although the focus has always been paid to the lightest possible construction, it turns out to be typical weights (without hand drive or electric drive):

Basic weight Trike: 30 - 40 kg,

Basic weight Quad: 40 - 50 kg.

With the hand drive there are another 3 - 5 kg. With electric drive, about 5 to 7.5 kg are added.
The following sub-points show different solutions without wanting to achieve completeness.
