Congratulations on your purchase of a Greenspeed folding
trike. We believe that you have purchased the finest recumbent
tricycle available in the world today. It is also our belief that
the present level of motorised transport on this small planet is
not sustainable, in environmental and social terms. Thus your
Greenspeed has been designed for everyday use, whether it be
shopping, commuting, rehabilitation, touring the world or just
exercising and having fun! With care, it should last a lifetime.
Included in this manual are instructions on how to assemble,
maintain and get the most from your folding trike.

The major feature of these trikes is the fold. By removing one
capscrew, with a 6mm key, the seat can be removed.
Then releasing the quick release lever on the frame hinge
allows the rear wheel and frame to be folded over the front,
halving the size of the trike, and allowing it fit into most car
boots (trunks) and other small spaces. To fit into even smaller
spaces, the wheels are easily removed.
Another feature of this trike is the 16" wheels, which make
it more compact than trikes with 20" wheels, and the special
Scorcher tyres give it outstanding performance with a very
smooth ride.
The famous Greenspeed cross over steering now has NSR
geometry, which allows straight line, one handed braking,
and gives a very small turning circle, making it a delight to
ride. A number of accessories are available from GS dealers.
welcome to the family
