Great things come in small packages: Let's talk about the HP Velotechnik Grasshopper Fx!
⭐️ Time for refreshing new perspectives. The Grasshopper fx brings action into the bike world. For a long time, cycling primarily meant one thing: hump up and step down. Your Grasshopper fx accelerates forward, suspends downwards – and folds to the side.
⭐️ Whether on the train, in the car, or in your home, the compact trekking recumbent bike from HP Velotechnik will gladly make itself small.
⭐️ With its two smooth running 20″ wheels, the Grasshopper fx is also the most compact model in our recumbent bike range. Fully unfolded this bike has a length of 1.60 m (5’3″) – shorter than your old upright bike!

Catrike Trail - Performance and Portability for trail riders and all riders!
⛰ At the heart of the Trail, there are features and design that makes this Catrike perfect for almost any rider.
⛰ Well designed and is thoughtfully equipped with top-tier components to deliver worry-free performance.
⛰ For comfort and portability, the Trail features a well-padded seat mounted to a fully adjustable, foldable frame.
⛰ The Catrike proprietary hand rests offer adjustable support for long rides while the integrated computer mount and stock rear view mirror ensure you have all the information to be safe and efficient while riding.
⛰ All these features combine to provide unbeatable performance at an unbeatable price!
The seat mesh on my Euromesh seat tore, so I took the opportunity to install a carbon fiber seat. For a rock solid installation, I used our in-house designed lower mounting kit and Metabike rear stays (standard on any Bacchetta bike with a carbon fiber seat now).
Aluminum posts ensure you can get a rock solid connection between the bottom of the seat and the frame. The rubber grommets you see are there just to stop the aluminum pieces from sliding off during installation.
Metabike struts have been our in-house secret weapon for close to a decade now. With these two installation upgrades, the seat is rock solid on the bike. I definitely felt more power and better acceleration with this set-up over the Euromesh seat. The downside, of course, is comfort. I didn’t realize there were so many bumps on my ride!

Ahh... the Bacchetta CA3.0 Frameset!
👉 The world’s most accomplished carbon recumbent road bike.
👉 The updated CA 3.0 frames incorporate the Adroit dropout system to easily switch from wheels with 130mm to 135mm rear axles, disc brake option, and integrated idler post.
👉 Viewed by most as the optimal combination of speed, comfort, and handling, the CA 3.0 is the “Gold Standard” of performance recumbents.
