Description
Recumbent bike and trike manufacturer HP Velotechnik: modern bicycle and tricycle concepts for adults and equipment for sport, tour, daily use or therapy. HP Velotechnik was founded by Paul Hollants and Daniel Pulvermüller in 1993. Its production site in Kriftel near Frankfurt employs 35 people
(including four trainees) and manufactures approximately 2,000 recumbents per year, making it the European market leader.The bikes are individually built to order by hand and sold via specialist bike dealers. Signs of growth are evident: The recumbents are sold in Germany and Europe; increasing numbers are also being exported to more distant regions such as U.S.A., Australia, and Japan.
HP Velotechnik has developed 15 recumbent models across the entire class spectrum from everyday bikes to racers. All models are available with powerful electric motors on request. Recently, the full suspension trikes
of the Scorpion class won three times in a row the renowned Eurobike Design Award: In 2012 the speed pedelec Scorpion fs 26 S-Pedelec, in
2013 the mountain trike Scorpion fs 26 Enduro. and in 2014 the SUV trike Scorpion plus 20.
Even as students, the company founders Hollants and Pulvermüller were national champions with their cabin trike in the Association of German Engineers’ 1992 JUTEC youth and technology competition.This provided the foundation stone for their development from a garage laboratory to one
of Germany’s most innovative bike companies. During the last ten years, HP Velotechnik was repeatedly named as one of Germany’s three best bike manufacturers by the bike industry association VSF. For further information, please visit www.hpvelotechnik.com

A Company Portrait (just before our Anniversary) – In a few months, we will be celebrating the 25th Anniversary of HP Velotechnik. A retrospective of all the years gives us lots of stories to tell. Mel Birgé from Recumbentpdx, one of our preeminent dealers in the United States, met up with us at the Spezialradmesse SPEZI in Germersheim, Germany to get the inside scoop from one of the owners and founders, Paul Hollants.

Absolutely unique! The Scorpion which we recently donated to ALS activist Bruno Schmidt from ALS-Alle Lieben Schmidt e.V. has been thoroughly customised now: Since Bruno Schmidt due to his disease is lacking power especially in his arms, shifting has been a problem from the very beginning. Now he can switch gears simply by pressing buttons - thanks to the electric remote shifting group RED eTap provided by SRAM. With his trike already being here we also retrofitted an electrical assist of our partner GO SwissDrive AG. Originally it has been planned to equip the motor later - but we don't want the trike here, we want Bruno Schmidt to ride it, ride it and ride it ;) (Please note: The setup of this trike has been realised by several partnering sponsors and is not available regularly in this form!)
André Greipel
He is one of the world's best road bike sprinters: André Greipel, also known as "The Gorilla". Being not only exceptional on the track, he also has a personal story to tell. How one of our Scorpions is involved in the story you will find out in this video portrait. #FightALS
