Greenspeed Tricycles
Magnum
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 non-suspension, disc brakes or drum brakes, or a heavy, low performance trike to take your weight.
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. Thus the rider can choose the seat height to suit ease of entry and exit, the riding conditions, and personal preference – low for speed and high for visibility in traffic. The Magnum has a massive 5” of ground
clearance, yet with the seat low, and the cambered wheels it has outstanding road holding. Plus the 11-32 cassette combined with the 52/42/30 triple crank-set gives a wide range of gears, from 19” in bottom to 91” in top gear – a range of 479%! So you can easily go fast or slow.
Disc brakes normally have superior stopping power to drums brakes, but disc brakes make it harder to take the wheels off and on. So the Magnum is the 1st trike to use the new, larger 90 mm Sturmey Archer (S.A.) drum brakes. The Magnum will pack down in to a box (33 x 29 x 18") not much larger than its smaller brother, the Greenspeed GT1.
The smaller 16 inch wheeled GT trikes have been limited to a rider weight of 265 lbs. Whereas the Magnum, with its larger diameter frame tubes, has rider weight limit of a whopping 400 lbs!

The GT1/GT3 is a small trike with a big personality. Designed as an easily transportable trike so that you can fold it up to fit in your car or to take up less space in your shed, it's quick fold is achieved with only a 6mm Allen key for the single seat bolt and one quick release for the frame hinge. This trike is ideal for commuters.
GT-1
Originally equipped with an 8 speed Nexus internally geared rear hub (as shown to the left). The GT1 now has a front triple crank set, and an eight speed cassette, giving 24 gear combinations, and superb hill climbing ability. These 24 gears are controlled with Shimano Ultegra bar end shifters - making shifting much easier than the twist grip shifters fitted to many other trikes. Made in a small and standard size, you should find one to suit you. Now available in metallic red, blue or green.
