FOR ULTIMATE UTILITY AND PERSONALITY, THE HAMMERTRUCK

We took the 80 pounds of water down low on the racks test at Interbike. Went down the big hill with a steady line, then the steep climb back up to the tent, solid feel with easy transition to standing when desired. The only utility bike with the famed Crank Forward comfort. THE CHOICE for that car replacement runabout. A number of dedicated options to suit every application.

SEQUOIA and SEQUOIA TRAIL

Rans has a 6'7 guy on staff. He needed a Crank Forward of his scale. The Sequoia was born. A Dynamik spec bike done for the big guy.

Longer rear oversize stays and oversize down tube deliver power without flex. Weight distribution improves for the tall rider, placing more weight toward the front. Curved down top tube makes it easier to get on and off, especially with a load.

SEQUOIA PRO OPTION AVAILABLE

Zigo Leader X2 Carrier Bicycle - The first mom- or dad- powered family transportation system. Place one or two children in the ChildPod, put on a helmet, and you’re ready to ride.

The LeaderLink System allows the Leader to uncouple in 30 seconds or less, transforming it into the separate elements, Zigo ChildPod jogger and Zigo 2 wheeled runabout Cycle.

Tadpole format 2 wheels in front, one in the rear for great stability and peace of mind. Ultimate forward visibility for parents and children alike to enjoy your rides to the fullest.

 

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 V2 Formula Free Radical

The ultra torsionally rigid V2 Formula with the climbing efficient level bottom bracket position make a good match for the Xtracycle. Shown here with B37 handlebars and Angletech Trunk. $2226. 

 

 

 

 

 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.
