Mungo photo credit goes to Steintrikes
Steintrikes look mighty impressive…and they were out in full force recnetly at Spezi, a large European bike Show (in Germersheim, Germany). Distributed by Bike Revolution, take the Mungo for example…this new model features full front and rear suspension, disc brakes all around, Shimano components, a very comfy reclined seat, No Waste Design, and much more…all for around 42lbs.

There are a few Steintrike models to choose from, and if you prefer to switch it up depending on riding season…they are down with that too. If your wondering how much weight a trike can carry, Steintrikes can carry a double load, up to 45 kg (100 pounds). Steintrikes also have a hidden feature called no waste design. What that means is the cyclist won’t have to fight against the suspension while pedaling…putting more power towards your goal. According to Steintrikes,
Our frames are made from raw material we chose. It’s a cold drawn precision seamless tubing with only 1mm thick wall. We use the same material for all the frame parts. And we hand build it. We measure, clean, cut, and weld every single piece to make a frame. It’s really hand made in the best meaning of the term, but it’s not just that. We used someone else’s invention and made it simpler. Some years ago in the electronics industry, someone started building “modules” and started plugging them into the motherboard. We did that with our frames. We made a design with a specific wheelbase, track, tested it, refined the steering design and we got ourselves an excellent trike model. It had a flaw: it wasn’t good for everyone all the time. So, we took the same front end, kept the wheelbase and changed it’s rear end, and we got the first modular trike. Then came the others. Today, you can make choice, small or big wheel, hard tail or suspended, it’s all up to your preference. And even better, if you decide you want a change for the Summer or Winter, touring or racing, you can “pimp your ride”… AND it doesn’t require a surgery on an open wallet…
