Velotechnik Grasshopper Recumbent Bicycles

Grasshopper FX USS
The HP Velo Grasshopper recumbent bike is very similar to a
Streetmachine GTe with
dual 20" wheels. The Grasshopper fits petite riders better than the
Streetmachine but I'm 6'3" and can ride one, especially the folding
Grasshopper FX model. Both have similar aluminum mono tube frames and
dual suspension like the Streetmachine GTe. They ride similarly.
The extensive list of options available on the Streetmachine are also
available on the Grasshopper.

Grasshopper with Over Seat Steering Option
One option difference is this: OSS is an extra cost option on the
Streetmachine while USS is extra cost option on the Grasshopper. With
20" wheels the Grasshopper is smaller and significantly easier to pack,
store or transport in a car.
Also available is the folding Grasshopper FX version for travel in
airline luggage.

Grasshopper FX folding recumbent bicycle
The FX has a longer wheelbase which many riders feel gives better handling
than the standard Grasshopper.
As always it is best to try several recumbents before you make your
final.
Stop in and try them for yourself!
