$5495



For all of us recumbent enthusiasts, lets face it- we all wish we could have a bigger stable of bikes:  a single trike, a dual 650c wheel bike, a comfort bike and, of course, the granddaddy of them all - a recumbent tandem tadpole trike like the Greenspeed GTT. The problemis that you must be willing to make a very large outlay for a Greenspeed GTT.

 

 

About 3 years ago, the founder of Trident Trikes decided to offer tandem recumbent trike bicycles for sale using high quality name brand components without sacrificing ride quality.  Trident Trikes offered tandem recumbent trike bicycles for sale, which could be shipped in UPS/FedEx size boxes to minimize shipping costs without having to disassemble the Trike too much.  Requiring less reassembly at the customer end was an additional goal. After 3 years, 4 prototypes, and many revisions- Trident offers a tandem recumbent trike bicycle for sale known as the Chameleon Convertitrike- a tandem and a single trike in one package!!!!

 

If you want to offer tandem recumbent trike bicycles for sale, there are frame issues, chain management issues, component issues as well as cable issues to deal with. Here’s how these issues were addressed:

 

The Frame: In the end, there was really only one choice here- aircraft quality 4130 chromoly tubing. The booms, seats, and handlebars, however, are anodized aluminum.  This makes the frame of the tandem recumbent trike bicycle look better and resistant to scratches.

 

The Trident tandem recumbent trike bicycles for sale through Trike Shoppe, LLC feature four couplers that allow the chameleon to be broken down for easier long distance transport and also allow the Chameleon to be transformed into a recumbent trike bicycle for one passenger.

 

The tandem recumbent trike bicycles for sale, which are built by Trident, feature all name brand parts.  When you see Trident tandem recumbent trike bicycles for sale, they have a SRAM Dual Drive System, Microshift Front Derailleur, and Avid BB7 Disc Brakes. Independent Pedaling (IPS) is standard. The stoker has control of the rear brake as well as the “front” derailleur (that is in the stoker position). Both seats have a built in pocket for your hydration bladder system, and have a reflective stripe on the back for safety. The tandem recumbent trike bicycles for sale made by Trident include everything - a rear rack, front and rear fenders, front and rear mirrors, a safety flag, front and rear lights and two sets of alloy pedals with toe clips.

Note: The Convertitrike is 81 Speeds as a tandem, and 27 Speeds as a single.

 

The Chameleon tandem recumbent trike bicycles for sale through Trike Shoppe, LLC in Fort Lauderdale come in two standard colors - Carolina Blue  and Wolfpack Red.
