We have a Scorpion trike on test - report coming up in Issue 22 - and it attracted plenty of interest, as above, at the recent Bike Right event.

Now, the manufacturers have announced a new model, to be launched at the SPEZI show in Germany this weekend. While our model uses the standard SRAM Dual-Drive gears (9 speed derailleur with three speed hub) the new 81-speed model extends the range further with a front triple chainring, controlled by a bar end shifter.

The result is a gear range of 12.3" to 123" (0.98 - 9.81 m travelled per turn of the pedals) - and of course on a trike you can take advantage of the low gears to go as slow as you like without any balance problems.

More details and pics when we return from the SPEZI.
