This is the next post in the Spezi 2010 series: a lot of exhibitors sent me information on what they are going to show on their booths.
Hase is coming with lots of bikes: the delta trikes Kettwiesel and Lepus, the half-upright-half-recumbent-tandem Pino, the kids trailer Trets which can be converted into a kids trike, Trix a trike for disabled children and the two-wheeler Tagun. All bikes can be test ridden. Hase specially advert their Trix, Pedelec-Pino and the Quick Stick Hubs
Schwalbe will not present new products, but bring a fraction of their product spectrum to the show, expecially the Marathon line. I was told that no prototype of a special velomobile tyre is ready for presentation yet.
Anthrotech will show their traditional model, the trike. Additionally they have a reverse gear for the SRAM S7 hub.
Leiba will come with their EIBA classic, die LEIBA x-stream and the new LEIBA Hybrid. Vasili is not yet sure whether he will offer test rides.
Riese und Müller will present their new 16″ folding bike “Frog” which has an extremely small pack size. Further, they will bring all hybrid-bikes and the Intercontinental in orange.
Akkurad (Lohmeyer) will have a booth together with their close partner Alligt and present the “fast Kettwiesel” (up to 45 km/h with a chain drive), the Alleweder 4 with a crank drive up to 45km/h (with approval by the German Technical Control Board, TÜV), Alleweder 6 with TÜV up to 45 km/h (hub motor) and Alleweder 7 with crank drive up to 25 km/h. Additionally, they show their known components for recumbents.
At the end of today’s post, I’d like to present two companies, whoms bikes I like a lot:
AZUB will come with couple of new things. First their new ECO trike (- 3x 20″ wheels, indirect steering, Shimano Alivio components, drum brakes Sturmey Archer, fully adjustable ergonomic mesh seat, AZUB IPS system, Schwalbe Marathon Racer tyres, price is not ready yet, but will be most probably 1690 EUR incl. VAT and transport costs) and second, a new AZUB ECO 16″ with adjustable seat (three sizes XS, S, M) with Shimano Alfine 8 speed hub. They also plan to add an Shimano Alfine option into their standard portfolio.
They suppose to introduce also a prototype of their next trike project which will be in standard offer during the year 2010 or at the start of the year 2011. All their models (expect the new trike prototype) will be ready for test riding.
Nazca will be showing their new Gaucho 28 Highracer, probably both with aero steer and with tiller steer. This bike was introduced in the Netherlands at the end of 2009 and has since then attracted a lot of attention. Nazca-ligfietsen are now delivering the first ordered bikes to their customers. Further, they will be showing the latest version of the Fuego, the allround version with rack for ortlieb bags or banana bags. Also the Pioneer with understeer and the Paseo with understeer will be in their booth. At the test track the following bikes can be tried: Gaucho 28 highracer, Pioneer 2×26 understeer, Fuego sport, Paseo understeer and Explorer.
The blinking of multiple players might give someone, who is softer, a seizure. I am only annoyed. Congratulations.
