When Greenspeed set out to design a 26 inch wheel version of the there GT20 they new it had to be a completely new design from the ground up. Greenspeed designed a wider flange hub which is unique only to Greenspeed trikes. The wider hub made the rear wheel significantly stronger. The Greenspeed frame was made stronger in the rear to accommodate a larger wheel. The frame was also change to square shaped tubing which also added strength to the entire length of the frame. Greenspeed is famous...

The major reason for most people buying a recumbent is for more comfort that you get on the small saddle of an ordinary bike. A number of trikes are now offering mechanical suspension, but this inevitably adds weight, which you feel at the first stroke of the pedals, and labor with up the hills. Whereas the GT20 has what is known as virtual suspension. 1st the Scorcher tires are made to our own design, which is suppler than any other tire on the market, ensuring a lot of the road shock is...

Aero Introduction The GreenSpeed Areo is simply the fastest production trike in the world period. Streamlined Aero Dynamics At 20 mph, 80% of an ordinary bike rider’s energy goes into pushing the air aside. This is what makes it so much harder to ride into a headwind, than a tailwind. On the Aero you’ll LOVE headwinds! Because when you turn into a headwind on the Aero, you will leave the competition behind, if you haven’t already.Even the cross member on the Aero is streamlined. This is...

Many recumbent trikes have “direct” (tiller type) steering, where for cheapness, the handle bars are clamped directly onto the kingpins, without any intermediate linkage, and bars have to be moved in the opposite direction to which you are going, with the weaker muscles of your arms. Whereas the GreenSpeed “Crossover” steering was invented by GreenSpeed to provide control with your bicep muscles, thus the steering is much easier and more intuitive to use. Furthermore, unlike other types of...

Greenspeed Magnum may be the perfect do everything trike. Many people have said that is not possible to build a trike which is suitable for road as well as off road. Others have said, you must have suspension to give a smooth ride. However, this increases the weight, adds complication, and cost. Well, the Greenspeed Magnum breaks the mould in trike design! No longer is it necessary to agonize between the choice of a high seat trike for off road, or a low seat trike for on road, suspension or...

Greater Stability with Big Wheels Normally trikes with large rear wheels are unstable due to problems with rear wheel flex and rear end instability. Thus we have made special GS rear hubs with a much wider flange spacing than normal, which has resulted in a 26” wheel with more lateral stiffness than a 20” wheel! Plus we have increased the section size of the rear forks. Thus with the longer wheelbase, the Magnum BW is even more stable at high speed than the Magnum SD. For people who want even...

The Greenspeed Anura is an ideal tricycle for older people and people with special needs. Delta style tricycles like the Anura offer easier entry and exit compared to Tadpole style tricycle. The Anura also offers a higher seat height making the rider more visible in traffic. The Anura is unique being that it has a differential so both rear wheels drive the tricycle forward but yet does not hinder it ability to turn. The differential also helps the bike go straight up a steep hill where other...

Greenspeed Chain Gobblers made especially for the Magnum trikes are now available. These Chain Gobblers are a special device which automatically adjusts the chain length as the crank extension is moved in or out to adjust for different leg lengths. This is useful if there are people with different leg lengths who want to ride the same trike. They are particularly useful for dealers, as what used to take 10 minutes to adjust the chain length for different riders, can now be done in less than...
