Tadpole design

The Trice X2 Tandem Trice made a tandem in the past but has ceased production of low volume trikes for the foreseeable future. x2.htm#


The Greenspeed GTT Tandem Probably the most common and the grandaddy of them all. gtt.html

Greenspeed makes this trike with a enough S&S couplings to take it down into packable pieces.

Here it is taken down and piled like you might put it in a box.

It is not clear what the difference is between the model numbers. Maybe just a misinterpretation.

Delta Design

Delta designs allow two solo trike to be attached front to rear to make a tandem setup. Deltas are popular partly because they are tall and easier to sit in and get out of than a tadpole. Tadpoles tend to be lower and to be capable of more radical cornering maneuvers. Delta appear to satisfy many people in the handling department even though they may lack speeds and conering ability at the extremes of performance.


Penninger I cannot find a web presence for Penninger at this writing 9.12.07

Here are some Penninger Voyager owners that enjoy their tandem capability [The Brent Hugh family]


Hase KettWeisel is the old standby of European delta trikes. Very nicely made. Many on the road. Many happy customers.

[This image show the worlds record train of 93 "2-wheeled trikes" attached together.] Hase has a great website with nice two wheeled bents as well.


Greenspeed Anura New in 2007 can be tandem'ed. Anura shows the same ultra functional design and high quality workmanship as the Greenspeed tadpoles. With Anura Greenspeed introduced the use of 16 inch wheels to the delta design, and a new efficient differential to achieve good traction from both rear wheels. Here is a good discussion of the design at [anura_history.html]
