HP VELOTECHNIK HANDS-ON-CYCLE
The Hand-Powered Drive for Trikes From HP Velotechnik

HP Velotechnik's Hands-On-Cycle handbike module is a completely new concept in which a single sub-assembly turns a foot-operated trike into a hand-operated vehicle.
The fully encapsulated hand cycle drive is mounted on HP Velotechnik’s trikes: 20 years of experience in tricycle construction merge with Hands-On-Cycle‘s groundbreaking design to create a uniquely elegant, compact and comfortable combination.
Thanks to Hands-On-Cycle, you can, once again, set off on bicycle tours and bike excursions with family and friends. And in a most comfortable way: The two sturdy base vehicles, Scorpion fs 20 and Gekko fx 26 are ideal even on bad roads. The Scorpion is even fully suspended.
HP Velotechnik integrates the hand-operated drive - including gears and cables - in a closed housing. This is an enormous safety advantage. With the Hands-On-Cycle you avoid contact with rotating and oily drive parts with your upper body and arms. There are other advantages over conventional handcycles as well: The vehicles have an astonishingly small turning circle, and the tidy cockpit offers the best possible operating comfort.

Hands-On-Cycle: As Variable as Your Requirements
HP Velotechnik mounts the Hands-On-Cycle on two models: the lightweight and compact Gekko fx 26 (right) and the comfortable and full-suspension Scorpion fs 20 (left). Both models can be individually adapted to your requirements and special needs with our modular custom system.
Basic drivetrain with 3×8 gears is the Tripleshift 24 gearing – a combination of a stand-shiftable 3-speed hub plus 8-speed cassette with twist shifters. For deceleration, Shimano BR-MT200 hydraulic disc brakes are a standard feature. With options such as the luggage rack or side bag mounts, you expand the range of use of your new touring partner immensely. For the ultimate in comfort equip your trike with a powerful electric motor!
Extra Power in the Rear: Hands-On-Cycle With Motor AssistanceOf course, the Hands-On-Cycle is prepared for the megatrend in the field of bicycles: If you so choose, we can install a powerful electric motor. In order to turn your hand powered bike into a pedelec (support up to 25 km/h), we use the rear hub motor Z20 from Neodrives in combination with the 10-speed derailleur Deore XT from Shimano. All controls and the color display are right in your field of vision in the cockpit.
