The Triton "fits riders from 3" to 5'8"" - wow, that is quite a range. I wonder what the market for 3" riders is, hamsters? |

Regards, Cullen Appleton, WI Every few months somebody brings this company up. I haven't seen one of these things close up so I don't know for certain, but to many of us it appears that the cranks are fixed to the front hub. Like, a 1:1 drive ratio... -with a fairly-small front wheel. It /may/ be that the hub-cranks have internal gears, but the videos I've seen showed no gear selectors. The crank-hub does freewheel, which we see a lot in the videos on the website, because they often show people coasting down hills. The steering mechanism used in this product is not positively stable at high speeds, but as you can see the engineers in charge of it have seen fit to make it as difficult to achieve high speeds as possible, in order to better protect their customers. It could be useful for physical therapy, but nobody who is considering a "normal" trike (like Catrike, Wizwheels, Terratrike ect) for "normal" adult riding is going to be interested. ~ |

Not to be confused with the HPM Tritan http://hpm.catoregon.org/?page_id=95, which is basically a Ryan Vanguard converted into a delta trike. -- Tom Sherman - 42.435731,-83.985007 |
