There can be many reasons why a conventional upright bike is not suitable for your child. At HP Velotechnik, the belief is that cycling should be a natural part of every childhood and also be safe and convenient for short adults. That’s why this tricycle now also makes children with special needs smile – and you, as parents, will certainly do the same, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Gekko fxs\u003c\/strong\u003e has been specially developed for children, young people with disabilities and other short persons and can easily be adapted to fit body sizes from 115 to 180 centimeters (4′ to 5’11”). If your child has difficulty maintaining his or her balance on an upright bike, then in many cases he or she will be able to sit on this stable tricycle securely, even at a standstill. And if it is otherwise difficult for your child to perform a smooth pedaling movement, it will be much easier to train and encourage when your child is safely seated in the comfortable recumbent seat of this special needs tricycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Smallest Tricycle for People with Special Abilities:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYour child can lean back,\u003c\/strong\u003e relax and always see the two front wheels to stay aware of the width of its trike, also when riding in narrow passages. Because the \u003cem\u003eGekko fxs\u003c\/em\u003e is designed with only one rear wheel at the back just like a regular children’s bike, we can install individually suitable, easy-to-use shifting technology from our modular system for your kid. Meanwhile, your child can look forward to the full range of beautiful bicycle bags or practical bicycle baskets thanks to the robust standard luggage carrier to transport his or her favorite items.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEspecially for handicapped children,\u003c\/strong\u003e parents often hope for more normality, more mobility and the greatest possible independence – the adaptive \u003cem\u003eGekko fxs \u003c\/em\u003erehabilitation and therapy trike can make an important contribution here. Isn’ it amazing that with the Gekko fxs trike, so much good for health and quality of life can be such fun to ride for your kid, too!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Gekko fxs\u003c\/strong\u003e will stand and ride particularly safely – even for inexperienced riders in fast curves or people with a limited sense of balance. The “tadpole” tricycle design with the two wheels at the front and the rider’s low center of gravity ensure particularly good stability when braking in tight turns. The crossbar of the reinforced frame connects the two front wheels elegantly while sweeping significantly further rearwards to the seat than on other trikes. This creates a lot of space between the two front wheels for easy boarding, even with the special needs of physically impaired persons. Special advantage: Your child can see the width of his vehicle directly from the two front wheels at any time – safer for himself and others than would be possible with conventional rehab bikes or simple bicycles with support wheels at the rear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecumbent Tricycle Name: \u003c\/strong\u003eGekko fxs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElectric Assist:\u003c\/strong\u003e  No\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParking Brake:\u003c\/strong\u003e  Yes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRear Suspension:\u003c\/strong\u003e  No\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFront Suspension:\u003c\/strong\u003e  No\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFolding:\u003c\/strong\u003e  Yes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight Limit:\u003c\/strong\u003e  220 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer’s Height Range: \u003c\/strong\u003e3'10\" – 5'11\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e  43 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeat Height:  \u003c\/strong\u003e14.2\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e  54\"– 69\"  (Depends on boom length)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Width:  \u003c\/strong\u003e33\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Height:  \u003c\/strong\u003e34.3\"  (Depends on seat angle, measurement does not include neck rest)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFolded Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e  36.2\" (Depends on boom length)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFolded Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e  22.4\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFolded Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e  33.9\"  (Depends if handlebars are folded)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBB Height:  \u003c\/strong\u003e14.6\" - 17.3\"  (Depends on boom length)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeat Angle:\u003c\/strong\u003e  48–64°\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeat Type \u0026amp; Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e  Mesh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWheelbase:\u003c\/strong\u003e  36\"–38.8\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePedals:\u003c\/strong\u003e  Platform with Toe Clips and Heel Straps\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGear Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e  16 - 50 Gear Inches\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrakes:\u003c\/strong\u003e  Mechanical Disc\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrake Levers:\u003c\/strong\u003e  Tektro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRear Derailleur:  \u003c\/strong\u003eShimano Alfine Chain Tensioner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFront Derailleur:\u003c\/strong\u003e  No\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShift Levers:\u003c\/strong\u003e  Shimano Nexus Twist Shift\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrankset:\u003c\/strong\u003e  HP Velotechnik 135mm crankarms, 32t\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBottom Bracket:\u003c\/strong\u003e  Square Taper\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCassette \/ Cog:  \u003c\/strong\u003eShimano Nexus Inter-8 (8-sp), 12 - 38t equiv.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFront Hub:\u003c\/strong\u003e  HPV \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRear Hub:\u003c\/strong\u003e  Shimano Nexus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFront Tire:  \u003c\/strong\u003eSchwalbe Tryker Tire 20 x 1.5 (40-406)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRear Tire:  \u003c\/strong\u003eSchwalbe Tryker Tire 20 x 1.5 (40-406)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTube Type:  \u003c\/strong\u003ePresta\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChain:\u003c\/strong\u003e  KMC 8 speed\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeadset:  \u003c\/strong\u003eHP Velotechnik\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSteering:  \u003c\/strong\u003eIndirect\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLast Update:  \u003c\/strong\u003e7\/21\/2021\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes: \u003c\/strong\u003eRiders should call us with their height, weight and X-seam for sizing assistance.
