Awesomely adaptive: HASE BIKES for kids with special needs

Know your limits, then defy them

​The recumbent trikes and tandems from Hase Bikes are waiting for you. Slip your feet into the pedals and unleash your inner explorer. You have the right to follow your own path – and if you can’t walk it, then ride it! Discover the exhilaration, feel the wind on your face, rail the corners, and let the mud fly. You’ll LOL so much more when you’re AFK… fun, friends, and freedom are right outside your door.*

​​*Translation for adults: the adaptive trikes and tandems from HASE BIKES make it possible for kids with disabilities to experience independent mobility. They help develop motor and social skills – and most importantly, build self-esteem.

Trike it out.

Sometimes, moving forward means putting up your feet and leaning back in your seat. Sounds like a paradox, but it’s actually just a TRIX. A recumbent trike with a low center of gravity, the TRIX is so stable and agile that even riders with severe disabilities can master the controls… while looking effortlessly cool at the front of the pack. The TRIX may not move mountains, but it can ride around them, and triking over them is pretty fun too.

Break out

There’s no place like home. But only when you’re sleeping in, or Dad’s making his famous lasagna. otherwise, it’s always more fun to be out and about with your friends. the TRIX trike is well-equipped for those times: with its high-quality disc brakes and various special pedals. there’s even an optional fixed gear that helps you keep your pedaling rhythm.

Hang out

On the TRIX, you can also kick back and do nothing at all: the comfy seat feels like a hammock when you’re chillaxing with friends and philosophizing about life, the universe, and your favorite youtubers. the parking brake keeps you right where you want to be.

Lend out

No disability, no TRIX? No way! It can be just as much fun seeing your friends’ faces when they take their first spin. If the height difference isn’t too great, the TRIX can be adjusted in a flash, thanks to the high-tech quick-adjust mechanism.
As a general rule: the TRIX can accommodate anyone between 4’1” (1.25m) and 6’3” (1.90m) in height.

The TRIX.

Recumbent trikes are particularly intuitive for kids to ride because they can see their legs. This helps a lot! The pedals are equipped with toe clips and straps to keep their feet from slipping off. Many other adaptive accessories, such as pedals with calf support, are also available.

Small hands? No problem with the TRIX: its special children’s brake levers feature a shorter reach so that young pilots can keep control of the action just as well as the grown-ups. The trike can also be equipped with a hydraulic coaster brake and/or single-hand controls.

The TRIX comes with spoke protectors whose attractive graphics look even cooler when you start to pick up speed. However, their primary purpose is not good looks – or even advertising – but actually safety: they make sure that nothing can get caught in the spokes.

Fun to the power of 2.

There are at least two good reasons for a PINO tandem bike: you and me. It takes us to the town’s best cookie-dough ice cream and even out into the green countryside, where there’s always a little patch of paradise waiting to be discovered. You’ve got the front row, I’ve got the overview, and we’ve got a fun family adventure. But the best part about the PINO: we always reach our destination as a team!

Firm footing

Curious passersby are often surprised by the stability of a fully loaded pino parked on the grass. its secret: the “Porter Rack.” This ingenious feature is a foldable luggage rack and sturdy double kickstand rolled into one.

Water resistance

The Rack Bag is big enough to hold everything you need for a fun weekend excursion: tent, sleeping bags, and provisions. Don’t forget the flashlight and pocketknife. Toothbrushes? Naw, those are for city folk.

Streamlining

Downhill with joyful squeals, uphill with an almost silent motor, and full speed ahead with fun chitchat. That’s what it’s like on a PINO tandem bike. The front rider sits comfortably and safely buckled in, with the wind on their face – a wonderful experience for children with visual impairment. Sturdy leg supports are available for kids who can’t pedal, and for those who can, there’s a special children’s crankset with freewheel (up to a height of 4’7”/1.40 m).

The PINO.

Easy to mount with a quick-release mechanism: the Children’s Crankset for kids from 3’3” (100 cm) in height. Thanks to the freewheel, the front rider can pedal… but doesn’t have to. Riders from 4’7” (1.40 m) in height can use the adult crankset.

A three-point harness holds the rider securely in place. then they can safely ride “no hands” or hold on to the seat grips.

When the hill’s too steep, or the will too weak… it’s time for Shimano Steps! switch on the powerful mid-motor with the simple press of a button.

The Porter Rack offers not only lots of cargo space, but also a sturdy double kickstand. with this feature, young co-pilots can fidget around in the seat of a parked PINO with no danger of tipping. The protective black and gray Rack Bag keeps all your take-alongs safe and dry.

Kids, start your engines!

TRETS: the discovery of speed. Children who are hardly able to walk unassisted can feel the rush of wind in their hair and the spine-tingling sensation of acceleration. The rewards of cycling are pride, confidence, and fun – and the TRETS kids' adaptive recumbent trike makes it possible. With outstanding brakes, a 3-point safety harness, and a level of stability that leaves other therapeutic trikes in the dust.

Sunshine and rainbows

Sometimes that’s really all life is! If you trike a lot, the walking also gets easier – with improved motor skills and confidence. Then you can even ask the girls if you can play, instead of just riding in circles around them.

Custom cruising

The TRETS is a pretty sweet set of wheels. Girls and boys both love it. “But does it come in my favorite color?” You bet it does – special finishes are possible, even hot pink and jet black. The TRETS can also be customized with a wide range of special accessories – because every kid should be able to ride a TRETS!

In single file

And if you don’t want Mom and Dad to start feeling unimportant, you can always say you’re too tired for triking. Then it’s “front wheel off – drawbar on,” and presto: the TRETS is a trailer. While the rider up front is getting extra exercise, the trailer passenger can relax, smile at passersby, help with the pedaling now and then, or even do a little mischievous braking …

The TRETS.

Push forward, pull back: a folding handlebar is super practical. Especially because it makes getting in and out of the seat safer and easier. And with a folded handlebar, the TRETS is smaller for storing or transporting. The brake levers and twist shifter are the perfect sizes for children’s hands.

In the driver’s seat: the 3-point harness ensures safety, the mesh seat cover provides comfortable stability, and the side grips are helpful when getting onto the seat. Here, you’re really sitting pretty!

Pedals with toe clips, straps, and elastic heel straps guarantee good positioning, provide support, and prevent slipping. There are also alternative
pedals and special accessories, like pendulum pedals for children with severely limited mobility. Another ingenious option: the crank shortener is perfect for legs of different lengths or for riders who cannot extend their legs fully.

My TRIX. My TRETS. Our PINO.

Who can ride the TRIX and TRETS?

There are more possibilities than you’d expect! Thanks to the intuitive controls, exceptional safety features, and numerous technical solutions for special needs, it is even possible to ride these trikes with severe physical and/or mental impairments. But there’s only one way to find out whether it works for you: trike it out!

Who can ride the PINO?

Basically anyone who loves to feel the wind on their face. One of the most impressive PINO pilots we’ve met is Nicholas Garwood, who has cerebral palsy with spasticity and competes with his father in the Iron Man South Africa. In 2014, we filmed the team in action. 

Where can you buy our trikes and bikes?

Not online, and definitely not at large discounters. Good bikes need good advice. This is why you will only find the TRIX, TRETS, and PINO at professional bike retailers. The people who work there are very knowledgeable about not only the basic models, but also all available versions and the extensive range of special accessories – and can therefore configure the bike or trike to your needs. We recommend making an appointment so that the shop can reserve enough time for you and your child.​
