The most attractive way: sit on your bike and enjoy the ride. If you want to be further away, you can also transport HP Velotechnik recumbents by car, train or plane. This is easy with our versatile folding recumbents like the folding recumbent Grasshopper fx or the folding tricycles Gekko fx and Scorpion fs. Even commercially available bicycle racks often work on the car. Newer models now also hold the large frame tubes of 50 mm (2″), as they are now also commonly used for MTBs and city bikes. The wheelbase (the distance between the wheels) of our recumbent bicycles is similar to that of a conventional upright bike. The recumbent bikes themselves are not much longer than a conventional model. You can also simply hang your recumbent bike on a rear carrier at the back of your car. There are special transport solutions for tricycles, for which you usually need a trailer hitch/coupling. On the train, you transport your short wheelbase recumbent bike just like a conventional bike. It is beneficial to protect the chain and the chainrings well with one of our chainring covers. The possibilities for taking trikes with you are somewhat more limited, especially in long-distance traffic. Find out more when you buy your tickets at the ticket counter or inquire in advance. For the transport by plane, you need a stable shipping box, as we also use it for the shipment of our bikes to the dealer. Ask at the bicycle shop, they will be happy to help you and not have to take the waste cardboard to the recycling center. If you got the box: Remove the pedals, tie the handlebars crosswise to the frame and remove the seat if necessary. Be sure to register your bike as bulky baggage a few days before departure. Foldable trikes can also be carried by several airlines. If you need the trike for health reasons, mention this to your airline service agent, this can facilitate things enormously When using pedelecs/E-assist, remember to remove the batteries from the pedelecs as they are dangerous goods and must not be transported in passenger planes.
