The Kyoto Cruiser Tandem Trike is designed to be a real alternative to the automobile for many short trips, errands and leisure rides. The trike has a very sturdy frame and wheels, and since seats placed side-by-side rather than inline, you can enjoy a sociable cycling experience with a partner. The electric hubmotor brings the trike up to full speed in seconds, and it can climb huge hills easily..........?

Additional FeaturesThe Kyoto Cruiser is very comfortable due to the recumbent position, but offers a seat height typical of many small cars to aid visibility and navigation in traffic. Hill climbing ability is amazing due to the full range of gears and 20-inch wheels, and each rider has his/her own independent front and rear shifting system so that each rider can work at his/her own pace and comfort level. Handling is very smooth with the ability to turn tight circles and stop efficiently thanks to the dual rear disc brakes.
Thank you for running this album, it is great to see the level of creativity here!
