Recumbent Trucks
Introducing the Angletech/Rans Stratus XP TO27D Free Radical.
In the quest to bring ultimate utility to the recumbent cycle the Free Radical version of the Stratus XP is born. Xtracycle has been promoting this idea through wedgie bikes over the years. After sampling one recently on the Stratus XP, not only did the utility impress us, but the integrated nature of the set up, and the exceptional handling of the resulting cycle (you end up sitting in the middle, with optimum weight distribution) really impress.
The XtraCycle Free Radical works on the Stratus XP, and Formula 26/20 based bikes with disc brakes depending on your crank location preference. The package is the Free Radical with a pair of Freeloader panniers, Disc brake upgrade kit w/ caliper protector, front mounting plate, Snap Deck, Footsies, and the infrastructure of cables and chain. $3445 for the Angletech/Rans Stratus XP TO27/Xtracycle.
Angletech/Rans Dynamik TO27D Free Radical.
The Xtracycle Free Radical package shown on the Stratus XP is also available on the Rans Dynamik, and Angletech/Rans Dynamik TO27D, or Cruz TO27D spec Crank Forward bikes. The package is the Free Radical with a pair of Freeloader panniers, Disc brake upgrade kit w/ caliper protector, front mounting plate, Snap Deck, Footsies, and the infrastructure of cables and chain. $1840 for the Dynamik Free Radical, $2660 for the Dynamik TO27D Free Radical, and $2620 for the Cruz TO27D Free Radical.
GREENSPEED GTU HD81 Beside the use of cars, another large source of pollution in our cities is the use of commercial vehicles. In fact, commercial vehicles are used for longer periods of time than private cars, and thus generally cause more pollution per vehicle. So, Greenspeed has had the desire to design and built some commercial HPVs for some time. The 1st of these is the GTU "Utility". The car/truck "ute", or "pick-up" as it is known in the USA, is an Australian invention. The Greenspeed Ute has been designed to take more stuff than one can fit onto a trike and luggage trailer, and to be more convenient to handle, easier to load and unload, and more efficient. By using only three wheels, instead of four, as used by many load carrying HPVs, we have less weight and less drag. In fact the body of the Ute is no wider than the rider's arms, so that there is no increase in air drag over the standard Greenspeed GTR or GTO. The biggest surprise for Greenspeed, was finding out that on the road, it was just as fast as a GTS! The frame is all Cro Mo 4130, the same as the GTO, and the panels are aluminum, as is the floor. The Ute is made in three "box" sizes, 2, 3 and 4 feet long in the main box. The body is continues over the rear wheel to improve appearance, and to provide extra space, which can be partitioned off from the rest of the cargo area. The one shown is the 3 footer. Not shown are the three different lids available. The lid can be either a flat metal top, a domed top, or a tarp.. With the flat lid, extra stuff could be tied down on top. Capacity of the 3 footer is 300 litres or 10.5 cubic feet, with the flat lid, and 100 kg or 220 lbs, in addition to the rider. All the normal Greenspeed options are available. The expected use is for commercial couriers in city areas, but the 1st order was for touring use, and five have been ordered by an advertising company to carry billboards in central Sydney! But, picture this, replace your F350 or Ram 3500 with one of these for your family truck! Easier on the environment, and turn your body into a higher level of fitness. More smiles and fun too.
