The Free Ride feeling for Adventurous People

The chain operates very smoothly. Thanks to the chain guided through a Teflon tubes, The Kettwiesel can take even the most abusive riding. The Kettwiesel has a very comfortable mesh seat that is contoured perfectly to the riders back for full back support. The Kettwiesel has two grips at the side of the seat (no picture) for comfort and sure controllable feel. The garish green color clearly sends the signal to spectators that you are of the fast sort and love to be challenged. With optional planetary gear hub (14 speed Rohloff or 8 speed Nexus) the driver train is completely protected from stick and rocks that might damage other types of trikes driver trains. The Rohloff or Nexus hub can be switched at a stop which really makes this driver train perfect for off road trikes.

Just right for the sporty rider the - Kettwiesel Ride. The Free Ride version of the famous Kettwiesel is not afraid of steep curves and challenging terrain. Whether on rough forest tracks, or competing in trike races - with its low centre of gravity and the safe back support you surely get every curve. The absolute freedom on three wheels awaits you ...

After many requests by our team Kettwisel riders we adjusted the material and components for extreme riding conditions. With the wide tires and aluminum wheels you can go off road without getting punished, the suspension fork gently cushions hard shocks and allows steering even in the deepest ruts.

Truly innovative: both rear wheels drive this trike forward using a differential. Since most of the weight is distributed to the rear of the Kettwiesel there always is enough weight on the wheels to keep them from slipping. This is riding fun on the highest level!

	Speeddrive (=18 gear)
	Two additional gears in bottom bracket. Swiss high tech allowing for a higher gear ratio than a crank with three chain wheels. The Speed-Drive is operated with the heel. Gear ratio: 1.Gear - 1,59 m / 19.9 inches (equals 36 teeth) 18. Gear - 8,1 m / 102.5 inches (equals 60 teeth)

	Tandem coupling KettWiesel
	With this hitch, 2 Kettwiesels can be combined to make a tandem. After removing its front wheel, a second Kettwiesel is mounted on the hitch of another one. The result: a tandem of a special kind!

	Luggage bag, 30 liters
	For long journeys we recommend our hase luggage bag. it is attached behind the seat and fastened with a belt. Highly durable Cordura guarantees longevity and rain protection. Includes reflector stripes.

	Hydraulic Magura disc brakes
	Well controllable, strong thanks to hydraulics. The hydraulic disc brake Magura Julie allows you to stop on the spot any time.

	Child crank (140 mm or 110 mm)
	In the smallest frame adjustment of the Kettwiesel, the child cranks can be used to transform the Kettwiesel into a trike for your children. A recumbent trike that grows with them. Once they have tried it the kids never want to leave it again!

	Hase Lowrider
	We recommend our Hase Lowrider for tour luggage. Two lowrider bags can be mounted at the front. Luggage storage at the front fork ensures an optimal weight distribution.

	Internal Gear Hub
	Rohloff 14 gear or Shimano Nexus 8 gear. When equipped with internal gear hubs, the gears of our bikes can also be switched while standing, e.g. at a traffic light. Additionally the Rohloff Speedhub offers a very large gear range comparable to

	Handbike for Kettwiesel / Lepus / Pino
	Ideal for wheelchair riders who enjoy motion and speed. Due to the rear driven wheels it is possible to mount an electric assistance in the front wheel. In contrast to handbikes on wheelchairs, the front wheel of our handbike never slips. The handbike can also be used as a tandem with a second Kettwiesel.

	Special Pedals
	Can be fitted to foot contours. Velcro tape and side plates secure the foot on the pedal. The foot can be secured in the desired position and be turned within an angel of 35 degree. Useful for physical disabilities. Also available as a child version.

	Special pedal with calf support
	Same function as special pedal with added possibility to secure the calf, when it needs guidance. With wide and flexible adjustment.

	Pedals with hook
	Strap and rubber ribbon for simple securing, to lightly support the feet and avoid slipping down. A good alternative to click pedals, for example on recumbent bikes - like at the front of the Pino, on the Trets etc.

	Crank arm shortener
	Decreases the pedal circle and therefore is suitable for people whose leg stretching is limited or those with unequal legs. If the leg's movability is trainable, the adjustment of the crank arm shortener allows for gradual increase of the pedal circle and therefore optimized training results. For children in growth the crank arm shortener allows a continuous adjustment to their body size.

	Pedal Pendulum
	If the ability to bend the leg is significantly inhibited, the Pedal Pendulum enables bicycling again, since only slight bending of the leg is required.

	16" front wheel
	Lowers the front by 6 cm - helpful for kicking down and allows easier mounting.

	Special handlebar (Kettwiesel / Lepus)
	Extends the steering system up to 80 cm / 32" upwards.

	Direction indicators
	Electric indicators with switch at the handlebar.

	Electric Assistance

	Seat or back extensions
	Extends the seat 70 mm / 2.8". Or 70 mm / 2.8" higher back for more back support.

	Pedal-back brake
	If the leg's physical function is better than that of the arms, a pedal-back brake can be very useful. Lepus and Kettwiesel with pedal back brakes cannot be pushed backwards. Consists of a freewheel at the Bottom Bracket and a hydraulic brake.
