Hub Dynamo for Challenge Trikes
We will soon have a hub-dynamo for the Challenge Trike, and here's a couple of lines to keep you updated on it. No other hub maker was available to work on it for us so we decided to do it ourselves.
The main elements of the hub (coil and rotor) are from the SRAM D7. The hub provides a very high level of efficiency and accommodates 20"wheels well. At the moment we are still working on the final details but expect the hub to be available on new Challenge Trikes in a few months time, and to retro fit a little while after.
Dutch handmade recumbents: Choose the Challenge of a lifetime
Twenty years ago recumbents looked like office chairs on wheels held together with garden fencing. Passers-by would stop and stare. Times have changed. People may still stop and stare but the modern recumbent is where the push for constant cycle innovation is taking place. These bikes are awesome pieces of engineering providing the ultimate in comfort and intelligence in design.
Check out these bikes, all original Challenge designs, all geared towards someone in particular. You.
Whether you're touring the globe or country, blasting the daily commute or racetrack, we've got your bike. Whether you're a recumbent virgin or a doyen of the down and low. Challenge build a bike for you and your ride.
Riding a recumbent is laid back, comfortable and fast. It's also a turn from the crowd. That's why Challenge put so much time and effort into good looks as well as technology, and the bikes radiate both. Special colours (or combinations) are available as are special builds. Many of the components we use are produced specifically for Challenge, ensuring not only top quality, but also that your bike is as unique as you are.
How to find out which will suit you? Read up on them and make note of your requirements. This website can help you with that. The final choice should be made after a visit to one of our dealers, where you can experience for yourself the difference of seat and pedal height; angle of seat; suspended or not. Our dealers have the skills and knowledge to help you choose. Whatever you choose, choose the Challenge of a lifetime.
