The cranks of the Extreme system are each equipped with a freewheel. This means that you can choose whether to propel with just one crank or with both cranks. Whether you crank alternate or synchron. The cranks have no locking function to each other. With ‘normal’, fixed (that is, dependent) cranks, when you press one pedal down, the other pedal is brought up. That doesn’t happen with Extreme system cranks: unless you actively pull the pedal back up and round, your foot will remain at the bottom of the stroke – there’s no help from the other crank. For the pull movement with the Extreme system you need clipless pedals. With the extreme system you use more muscles to make the rotation, and the weak spots in your pedal stroke are ‘trained out’, resulting in a stronger, more balanced and efficient cyclist. In contrast to normal cycling, with the Extreme system in combination with the recumbent laying position, additional muscle groups are activated. In particular the abdominal muscles. The Extreme System takes time to get used to. If you've ridden it for about 2 weeks, then it's a lot of fun and you don't want to be without it anymore. That's our experience and that of the customers. The effort until you can do it is worth it. The Extreme System is optional and can also be retrofitted. If the workout is not in your focus when cycling you might consider to take the Varibike Trike with the standard leg cranks that are fixed to each other. Even with the standard leg cranks and without the Extreme system the Varibike Trike has 7 different drive styles. No other bike in the world offer that much variety. Contact us and we will advice you which system is appropriate for you.
The Varibike Trike can be transported on a bike carrier. The bike carrier must have 3 wheel rails. The middle wheel rail holds the front wheel and each outer wheel rail holds a rear wheel.
