Evolve IP will announce a small revolution in the folding of trikes at the 2011 Recumbent Cycle-Con: a trike that can fold to about half size in under 6 seconds, and can fold one-piece into a smart car in under 13 seconds! It can fit an oversize suitcase/duffle bag in about 18 seconds with just the rear wheel removed, or fit in a standard 62in/158cm suitcase separated in about 15 minutes.
Evolve’s mechanisms create trikes that have convenient and compact one-piece folded forms that allow quick folding, easy fit even in a smart car, easy wheeling through narrow access ways and easy storage in a footprint little more than a person standing. They make mixed mode commuting easy.
This advance opens the trike market to cyclists too distant to ride to bike paths, to condo/apartment dwellers, and the important mid-urban areas where travel distances are reasonable but car trunks and storage spaces are small. Even stairs are no longer a barrier.
See Evolve’s folding trikes at Booth #1010 at Recumbent Cycle-Con, Pomona, CA, Oct 21-23, 2011
