LIGHT and FIX models can also be equipped with a cargo platform and a cargo box with a maximum load of 50 litres and 30 kg. TRIS BIKE has three models to meet diverse transport and mobility needs in urban areas: LIGHT, FIX and SPLIT. The other components are of high quality and are produced by famous European companies such as SAPIM, SCHWALBE, STURMEY ARCHER, SPANNINGA, KMC, RIXEN e KAUL KLICK FIX, SELLE ROYAL, ERGOTEC, ZEHUS. In particular, frame, forks, front wheel tilting system and paintwork are completely made in Italy. Our bikes with three tilting wheels are designed, built and assembled in Italy. With a width of only 65 cm, TRIS can easily move through city traffic and pass through bottlenecks and standard-sized doors.
This allows you to load your groceries easily and comfortably without worrying that TRIS might fall over. Finally, the EASY PARK function allows you to lock the tilting system of the two front wheels to park the TRIS without the need for a kickstand. To increase the riding comfort TRIS BIKE is also equipped with the EASY STOP function that allows to lock the inclination system in order to stop and restart without putting your feet on the ground (remember: the EASY STOP function should never be activated while riding!). In synthesis, TRIS BIKE is a tilting trike for adults that tilts on curves like a traditional bike, ensuring identical ridability of a bike and avoiding tipping over on curves. TRIS BIKE, thanks to its innovative system of inclination of the two front wheels, combines safety and stability, typical of tricycles, with the dynamics and rideability, typical of traditional bikes. On the other hand, it is also well known that the greatest number of fallings with a traditional bicycle occur due to the loss of grip of the front wheel.
Indeed, It is well known that rigid tricycles, despite their high stability, have the limitation of poor rideability and the possibility of tipping over if corners are taken at high speed. This is another over hyped and over sold Indi/KS darling.TRIS BIKE is an innovative tilting trike for adults that combines all the best features of traditional rigid tricycles with those of single front wheel bikes, overcoming their respective criticalities.
For a simple straight forward tilt design see the TRe-Go, though it lacks the tilt lock-out of this bike. I can only guess that they did it this way so they could file a patent or avoid licensing fees for a patent. The tilting mechanism uses a chain system, which means more complexity, moving parts and weight. The tire selection for 16" wheels is limited making it fairly hard to get (good quality) tires for. It's also using a combination of a 20" drive wheel (that's ok) and two 16" wheels in front, not so ok. The Pinion is the expensive bit, adding about $1,000 - $1,200 to the price of a bike. To put that price in context, I recently bought a all-road bike with a 12 speed Pinion Gearbox, hydraulic disc brakes, low maintenance Gates Carbon Belt Drive and front hub dynamo for $2,200. At that price they could easily have included a common and inexpensive 7 speed internally geared hub. Which given its final retail of ~$2500 US (~$1800 KS early bird) is frankly laughable. Those numbers are fine for flat ground but the least little incline, especially with a load, and pedaling will prove quite difficult given that the bike weighs almost 50 lbs (22kg). It's Gear Inch (gi) is in this odd place, 46 gi on the low end and 60 gi on the high. The TRIS Light, the one without e-assist, has only a 2 speed Sturmey Archer "kick" shift rear hub. Well, once again a bike company that only gears their bikes for flat ground. Additionally, parking-brake devices built into the tilt-blocking and front brake levers keep the Tris Bike from rolling away or tilting over when left unattended, so no kickstand is necessary. When stopping, riders can use a handlebar lever to block the tilting mechanism – this keeps the front wheels sitting vertically straight, so the trike stays upright without the need for riders to put their feet on the road. They can also pivot a maximum of 60 degrees to either side, giving the trike a relatively tight turning radius. Sort of like an upright version of the Polish EV4 semi-recumbent e-trike, the Tris Bike incorporates a mechanism that allows the two front wheels to tilt up to 30 degrees relative to the chromoly steel frame. The Italian-designed Tris Bike addresses that issue, with tilting front wheels that let it lean into turns. While some people like the added stability offered by trikes as compared to bikes, the things can actually be tippier when cornering.
