Last month we had a booth at the Spezi exhibit in Lauchringen, in the south of Germany.
This time we were able to bring 2 bikes:
- the AeroTilt, a completely faired Tilting Trike with electrical assistance
- a Tilting Trike (Performer) for visitors to be able to perform test rides
We had a lot of visitors with many good questions, observations and requests for having a test ride.
At the end of two days, more than 40 people were able to perform a test ride: probably there could have been even more but with only one available bike it was not possible.
Moreover we had very often to adjust the length of the boom to allow all size of riders: this was also quite time consuming…
The test track inside the building was unbelievably crowdy, narrow and with very tight turns.
So we preferred to use the outside test tracks for the visitors to have a better feeling and riding experience.
We had on display one of our Tilting units to show how it works and to explain the functionality in detail.
At the end of the last day we have actually sold it to a visitor who was willing to install it on his DIY bike.
Here below are some images of these two days with some good moments talking to all the visitors.
It was definitely a great moment for us especially because for the first time we had so many people riding on one of our Tilting trikes.
It is very important to listen to comments/suggestions/remarks to help us to improve our Tilting mechanism!
Hi my name is Bob Morley. I hve a flevelo recumbent bike and have just watched the Laidback Bike report featuing your tilting unit and my question is could it fit my flevelo ? One other thing, the wheels I would be using are fitted with Sturmey Archer hub brakes.
