Freedom Sirrocco:

The “Sirrocco” is a tadpole style recumbent trike with under seat steering. It is designed for riders of all ages and abilities and can be used for everything from quiet leisure rides to substantial tours. The rider obviously does not normally need to balance the vehicle, although more spirited cornering requires some “body english”! The relaxed seating position is adjustable for both leg length and recline angle. Frames come in two sizes to accommodate riders between 165cm and 205cm. Other steering and brake options are available.

FRAME: Pulse TIG welded 4130 Cro-moly tubing. SEAT: Cro-moly tube, UV-resistant mesh cover, adjustable for leg length and recline angle. COLOUR: Flame red powdercoat frame with black seat and stub axles. HANDLE BARS: Aluminium with cro-moly steerer. FRONT HUBS: Customised Sachs VT 5000 drum brakes. REAR HUB: Shimano STX-RC. CASSETTE: Shimano 11-34 8sp. RIMS: Velocity triple V. SPOKES: DT stainless steel 14g. TYRES: Duro skinwall semi-slicks. GEAR SHIFTERS: Ultegra bar-end shifters. FRONT GEAR: Sachs Centera.

Alternative custom specifications or colours available on request. Accessories such as mudguards (fenders) or pannier racks are available.

Freedom Explorer:

The “Explorer” is a tadpole style recumbent trike with “king pin” steering and rear suspension. It is stable, has a high ground clearance and its ergonomic seat is set at a height which makes it as easy to get into and out of as a comfortable chair. Although it is designed for riders of all ages and abilities, its easily accessible seating position makes it especially suitable for people with restricted mobility or poor balance. The “Explorer” can be fitted with a variety of racks enabling it to be used for everything from shopping to quiet leisure rides to substantial tours. The relaxed seating position is adjustable for leg length and the frame will accommodate riders between 165cm and 205cm.
