Picador
Here at Pashley we have a hard-earned reputation for crafting the very best tricycles, that has endured for over eighty years, and we constantly strive to build on this reputation with ongoing innovation.
The Tri-1 is the latest product of this process, being a marriage of our classic three-wheeled design with the very best modern componentry. It comes complete with wide ratio 7 speed gears, which means you can tackle even the steepest of hills and keep up with the pace of city traffic. Not only this but the dual braking system, comprising of a classic calliper brake and a powerful enclosed hub brake, gives you the control you need whilst the chrome riser handlebars puts you in an upright position for the best visibility and comfort imaginable.
There is even the option of a folding frame for easy transportation and storage, or a fixed gear model (with the benefit of a fully enclosed chaincase) for simple and worry-free riding. Add to this luxuries like the full mudguards and a sprung gel saddle and you have the perfect companion that can withstand the rigours of everyday riding, offering an unrivalled sense of stability that only a tricycle can provide.
Gears: Fixed | RRP (UK): £735 or £765 (folding frame)
- Robust tricycle frame with stable and upright riding position, with folding frame option: An easy to mount/dismount frame with comfortable upright riding position that allows you a good view of other road users and the scenery, and the added bonus of encouraging a healthy posture. Available as a folding frame - a useful feature to reduce overall length where storage or transport space is at a premium (approximate dimensions when folded: W=80cm, L=100cm, H= 68cm (17" frame) or 63cm (15" frame), with saddle removed). The frame is hand-built with an attention to detail that only a frame crafted by hand can possess.
- Secure parking brake: with an easily accessible activation button on the brake lever, it keeps the tricycle stationary when parked so you don't need to worry about it rolling away!
- Supportive steering stop: tricycles are sensitive to large steering angles, so this simple device avoids over-rotation of the front fork, increasing stability.
- Low maintenance front hub brake: enclosed and sealed from all weathers, hub brakes are long-lasting and robust and provide excellent stopping power come rain or shine.
- Non-slip pedals with toe clips and straps: to keep feet securely in place when pedalling, helping to transfer your pedal-power more efficiently.
- Tyres with puncture protection: With a tyre tread profile that offers good grip and quiet running. Also featuring an effective puncture protection belt made of natural rubber.
- High-comfort padded saddle: with elastomer springs to help cushion impacts.
- Quick-release seatpost: Allows saddle height to be adjusted and secured with ease and without the need for tools.
- Short 150mm cranks: Shortened cranks (standard cranks are 170mm) give a more natural pedalling action for shorter riders or those with restricted leg movement. Appropriately, the set comes with a smaller chainwheel, so it also lowers the gear range. Full-length cranks can be fitted at a later date if necessary.
- Fully-enclosed protective chain case: protects you from greasy oil marks and helps to reduce wear on the sheltered chain and components from grit and water.
- Single, low fixed gear where cycling stability is more important than top speed: An effective gear system where ease of pedalling is more important than speed, with the gear range lowered by a third.
