Folding Bikes


 



Angletech / CycleDifferent go back to 1987 with Montague folding bikes, so are the natural choice to outfit your Montague.

 

 

Montague is full-size folding bikes.

All Montague folding bikes are designed to ride as well as, if not better than, comparable non-folding bikes. During the design process, we focus on perfecting ride quality, handling, and comfort. You shouldn't have to sacrifice any of these crucial dynamics even if the folding bike is convenient enough to fit in the trunk.

Each Montague folding bicycle goes from full size to completely folded in under 20 seconds. Simply pop the front wheel off and open the frame quick release to fold the bike. No tools, no complicated instructions. This isn't about origami; it's about folding your bike in a flash to catch the bus or train, or take that back country adventure trip. Pavement and Mountain series' cover it all.

Convenience and practicality converge with Montague folding bikes. No one can argue the practicality of a bike. And, after just a few uses, no one can argue the convenience of Montague folding bikes.

TRIKES

 


ICE TRIKES FROM ENGLAND

ICE HPV in England has been building ICE trikes since 1986. Quality is first rate with 4130 Chrome Moly mid frames TIG welded together and finished in very high gloss laquer overcoated powder coat finishes. The rear section and front boom are 7075 heat treated aluminum

Greenspeed1

Greenspeed2 From the Sims in Australia, the most well known tadpole trike design. Introduced in the mid '90's, Greenspeed has built it's whole culture around trikes. Sport, touring, and race variations make up the line.

For the fold, one bolt or QR (Magnum) and the seat is off, then one quick release lever and the Magnum, X, and GT series fold in half.

Greenspeed has a stellar reputation for solid, well built trikes, top level seat design, and has been a leader in steering geometry. If you don find exactly what you like in what you see here, then Greenspeed has a Custom Shop where your ideal trike can be built.

 

MAGNUM

The Magnum is the 1st recumbent trike to have a seat which is adjustable for height. Plus it is adjustable for angle as well. The seat height is adjustable from 12” to 17” and both adjustments are with Quick Release levers. You can choose the seat height to suit ease of entry and exit, the riding conditions, and personal preference.

The seat cover is completely open weave. This allows cooling to the back, and does not hold water if it rains. The curves were designed by a chiropractor to give proper support to both the lumbar and the shoulders. Shock cord lacing provides a good fit to your back, plus it provides suspension for insulation from road shock.

Suspension is also provided by the Schwalbe “Big Apple” balloon tyres which give both a low rolling resistance and a comfortable ride. By adjusting the tyre pressure, the trike is equally at home on rough roads and smooth roads.

For off road use, you need a high ground clearance, and low gears, yet for road use you need high gears, and good road holding. The Magnum has a massive 5” of ground clearance, yet with the seat low, and the cambered wheels it has outstanding road holding.

The 9-32 Gold Ace cassette combined with the 52/42/30 triple crank-set gives a 19” in bottom to 116” in top gear.

Disc brakes normally have superior stopping power to drums brakes, but disc brakes make it harder to take the wheels off and on. They are difficult to adjust, the pads wear faster, and they cause more drag. So the Magnum is the 1st trike to use the new, larger 90 mm Sturmey Archer drum brakes with the matching S.A. brake levers, which are longer, and have more leverage. The performance is as good as disc brakes without the disadvantages. As a bonus, they come with a press button quick release. To place it in your car, taking the wheels off is effortless! With the central frame hinge, and the quick release wheels, the Magnum will pack down in to the same size box – 28 x 15 x 32 inches, as its smaller brother, the Greenspeed GT1.

The Magnum, with its larger diameter frame tubes, has rider weight limit of 400 lbs at a light 42 lbs.

The Magnum will be available February 2012. Pre orders suggest first shipment could be sold out by the end of March.

 

X5

x5380 x5front
The zoomiest Greenspeed.

The X5 has 10- degrees more seat recline than the GT series, and positive cambered front wheels for more stability when pushing the envelope. Very quick acceleration, a one with the machine feel.

Fold it quick for an easy fit into a small car.

The grab and go sports trike of the line.

 


GT1, GT3 and GT5 Folding Trikes

The Greenspeed trike experience in a 30 second fold format.  People like the GT series for its great acceleration, excellent seat design, a significantly tighter turning circle than many brands, excellent ergonomics including a true S size that scales the whole trike to that size, frame, crank length, and seat size for a real custom fit. 19-95 gear inch range in the drive. The folded size is 32 x 28 x 15 inches.
