INTRO HASEBIKES. Ideas that revolutionize mobility. In 1994, we began building bikes for maximum fun, comfort, and flexibility. All we had then was our vision for a new kind of mobility, thousands of ideas for specialized bikes, and a lot of idealism. HASE has since grown into a wellestablished company, headquartered in the historic buildings of Zeche Waltrop. And success has only fueled our motivation. With the KLIMAX series, one of our mobility dreams has come true: protecting our climate while creating the perfect climate for the cyclist. With cycling fun instead of frustration, and function instead of bells and whistles. The quality remains exceptional.

INTRO And this high level of quality is also guaranteed by our longstanding partner EFBe, the test laboratory located in the new HASE hall, right across from the HASE headquarters. As before, all of our bikes and trikes must pass its technical tests. In addition to the laboratory, the new building houses our showroom, welding shop, and a storage area – we simply needed more space for our mobility ideas and their implementation. When you look at the 2012 product portfolio from our now more than 40strong HASE team, you’ll understand: our vision for a new mobility is quickly becoming reality. With the KLIMAX 5K, we covered

a lot of ground in the realization of this vision – and riders will also be covering a lot of ground: with the 28 mph (45 km/h) fast e-bike, environmentally friendly mobility is now even possible for the long-distance commuter. The new KLIMAX still offers the same comfortable microclimate under the Fairing – no changes there.

or inliner moms and dads want it to be. You see: Marec Hase’s team of developers have had another busy year! And what better place to photograph the results of their work than in a city that has been known for years as a melting pot of creativity: Berlin. In terms of modern mobility, Germany’s capital may have a few things to learn from some of the smaller cities, but the atmosphere of change permeating this urban area is practically unrivalled. So we headed east, where a conference on new mobility was being held at the former Tempelhof airport during the week of our shooting – we were in the best of company! Airport grounds, Eastside Gallery, Potsdamer Platz: the HASE crew had lots of fun in the Berlin air – and, judging by the photos, so did the Berliners. By the way: in view of this year’s international successes, it seems HASE’s innovative mobility concepts are on the right track:

Green mobility with turbo fun Does environmentally conscious mobility have to be boring? Should comfort be reser ved for SUV drivers? And are the people who think about our common future party poopers? Nonsense. We live in exciting times: our mobility has to change, and the sooner the better. And all of us can have an influence on the way things develop. Let’s do a good job.

Even the very first LEPUS trikes built by Marec Hase back in 1994 offered more than just practical mobility: fun and comfort have always been essentials for HASEBIKES. This might be one reason for the edge we seem to have over other companies working on concepts for future mobility. In an age when the very auto

industry responsible for the many problems of our transportation society, such as traffic gridlock, pollution, and climate change, is monopolizing terms such as “green mobility” for its pseudosolutions, like its tentative steps toward the development of electric cars, we always visualize mobility in connection with

approx. 25 metric tons of CO2 are produced; then, over the vehicle’s lifetime, it will produce another 30 to 40 metric tons of CO2 – while the lifetime emissions associated with today’s passenger cars total a whopping 70 metric tons of CO2. The KLIMAX 2K, in comparison, will only produce a good 0.5 metric tons of CO2 in optimal comfort in any weather. its lifetime, including manufacure-seekers.

And nowadays, mobility begins earlier than ever: the new TRETS can accommodate a baby seat. The trike – with its new set of

wheels – or the ingenious kidpowered trailer, can now transform into a zippy jogger: with or without Fairing. The best part: our e-mobility and comfortclimate concepts are now available as retrofit kits, for almost all models. Fun flexibility, HASE style. Your HASE team 5

More pedal power in sun or shower! The 5 in “KLIMAX 5K” stands for more power: with its 500 watts, the new commuter e-bike from HASE can effortlessly reach its max. 28 mph (45 km/h). The e-trike for long distances is a completely new concept: and assistance is independent of pedaling. But it’s still sensational fun to zoom from A to B in any weather, CO2 -free in a comfort climate.

Everything under control: with the KLIMAX 5K, bad weather is just a sideshow, and long commutes are joy rides, even in the city. The zippy riding dynamics take care of the rest. Speed, battery-charge status, lighting control, and other important data are displayed on the info console right in front of you.

KLIMAX | 5 K

Houston, we have … no problem whatsoever! Our 5K-pilot Karim feels right at home in the traffic at Potsdamer Platz. This public square earned its reputation as a center for development and change back the 1920s – and again today: a perfect backdrop for the 5K, as a symbol of new mobility. With an

“Ick-bin-ein-Berliner” attitude, HASE sales rep Karim swims through the wide lanes in his 5K, laid back and speedy in the flow of traffic. The 5K offers a better view from the cockpit than a convertible, where the windshield posts get in the way. And it can zip off from the stoplight faster than some roadsters: the hub motor in the front wheel puts out full power right from the start, controlled by a twist-grip throttle – independent of your own pedal power. Although maybe the roadsters were just too busy gaping in awe. The awe-struck faces also appeared on the grounds of the former Tempelhof Airport when

we demonstrated the Fairing: getting into the KLIMAX Fairing is almost as elegant as with a Gullwing – just that the 5K “doorway” is nowhere near as narrow. Simply open the safety catch, lift the Fairing, take a seat, re-latch, finished. And a good minute is all it takes to go from summer look to waterproof: remove the Fairing from the compact case behind the seat, click it into the mount, unfold it, and snap the sides into place. If drizzle turns to downpour, the Poncho can be snapped into the fairing in seconds. And with the Poncho, it’s just as easy to get in and out of the seat. The special zipper with extended edges 7

ensures that the rider stays warm and dry from the neck down. Both the frame and the Fairing can be adjusted to fit the pilot. And speaking of frame: the KLIMAX’s chassis comes from the cornering-whiz KETTWIESEL. Its cornering genes were put to the test on the former runway, even at higher speeds. After an

experience like that, the phrase “almost as good as flying” may have to be reconsidered – after all, the center of gravity is low, and additional stability is added by the low-mounted battery. This clever power pack even recharges when braking: with a touch of the left brake lever, the so-called “recuperation” system kicks in,

saving you not only power; the high-tech motor brake also reduces brake wear. But there’s nothing else “conservative” about the ultra-powerful Tektro Auriga Twin hydraulic disc brakes on the rear wheels, supported by a large Avid BB7 disc up front. The KLIMAX’s passive safety system is also state-of-the-art: its

headlight, specially developed by Philips for e-bikes, lights up the Berlin night. And in the back, a combination taillight/brake light shines from the license plate. License plate? In Germany, e-bikes with 500 W motors are subject to the same licensing laws as mopeds. For KLIMAX owners, this means about 70 euros per

year for the license plate – including insurance! The impressive speed and a range of about 25 miles (40 km) (at 50% leg power) make the 5K the perfect power-trike for commutes and daily use. Start the day enjoying the fresh morning air, and use the trip home to clear your head, incorporating your exercise routine if you’re in the mood. The 5K is the perfect ride, even if your commute is longer than 12 miles (20 km). After all, the lockable battery is quick and easy to remove, and the 11.25 ampere hours of capacity are restored in just 2.5 hours of charging. A true joy ride, no matter what the weather. 9

Electric tailwind and dry legs! Finally: climate protection for the climate protector! Snap on the fairing for a rainy ride to work; take it off again for the ride home under blue skies. In the KLIMAX 2K, you can master even hilly stretches sweat-free, thanks to its electric tailwind. The KLIMAX takes cycling fun to a new dimension. Riding fun, staying-dr y fun, and CO2 -reducing fun.

Environmentally friendly travel options are only feasible if people can use them comfortably in any weather. Like our KLIMAX 2K, which has already earned several prestigious awards: including the Eurobike Green Award, the IF Product Design Award in Gold, and the Red Dot Award for product design.

At the medium assistance level, a full charge will take you about 31 miles (50 km). And the harder you pedal, the further you’ll get. Empty tank? Fill ‘er up at any power outlet in about 4 hours. The bottom line: your exertion is cut in half for the same speed – and twice as much fun. And to top it off, with its KETTWIESEL The concept: in bad weather, a minute is all it takes to mount the Fairing, unfold it, and hop back into the dry cockpit. In heavy rain and snow, there’s the separate Rain Poncho. And from below, the new splashguards keep your pant legs dry – a “hand-medown” from big brother 5K. The difference: little brother 2K is a

genes, the 2K doubles as a cornering machine with ultrastiff 6061 T6 aluminum frame and all its advantages: riding fun and a sophisticated ergonomic design with an 18” (46 cm) seat height. Not to forget the dependable primary drive: the 9-speed Tiagra rear derailleur and your legs.

“pedelec”, a synthesis of humanand machine-powered mobility. The almost 200 W-strong Protanium motor in the front wheel pushes along as soon as – and as long as – you pedal, up to 15 mph (25 km/h). This means: the 2K keeps its bicycle status (in Germany) – and you keep fit, with no overexertion. 11

Two on Tour A two-part frame that can carr y two on tour? The PINO TOUR does it all. Robust enough for adventurous expeditions, with enough carr ying capacity for all your supplies, and yet the epitome of ergonomic design. The multitalented tandem is larger than life, except when it comes to pack size. Sometimes two halves make a whole … lot of fun.

Anything goes: Berlin is diverse and colorful, sometimes even decadent. A spirit that can be contagious. Kirsten and Karim want to get from the train station to Lake Müggelsee with the PINO TOUR, but this time, not on it. What could be easier than disassembling the PINO frame into its 43 x12 x 31”

East Side Story Wishes can come true. Even better when ever ything turns out just the way we wanted. Like with the PINO CUSTOM for Rosa and her little Hannah. It fits them like a glove: from comfort – “great suspension!” – to electric drive – “I’m hardly pedaling!” – and gear system – “you can go faster, Mama!” Now that’s CUSTOM.

As project manager for Berlinbased bike agency Velokonzept, Rosa Rausch is no stranger to emobility. This is why Rosa and daughter Hannah are also so excited to be zooming through Berlin on their customized PINO CUSTOM for our photo shoot – and also for fun. On board: the Bionx electric-assist motor. It

means that, in Germany, the e-PINO is still legally considered a bicycle and doesn’t require moped licensing. Although Hannah has been known to drive her mom to much higher speeds. After all, it’s comfy in the adjustable recumbent seat – and the view from the front row can also be quite electrifying! contributes up to 250 watts of power in the rear wheel, as long as the two ladies pedal. The juice comes from the little box in the frame triangle: a lithium-manganese battery with almost 10 ampere hours of capacity. That’s plenty for a day’s worth of shopping for our pair. The motor switches off at 15 mph (25 km/h) – which

One of the reasons why the two had so much fun on their tour to Berlin’s East Side Gallery is the additional Children’s Crankset. It can be quickly adjusted to the leg length of young pilots. The front rider can also take a break from pedaling – the Stronglight crank bearing has an integrated freewheel mechanism, and even Hannah’s energy has its limits. Rosa’s got it pretty good, too: the handlebar – which can be adjusted in all three dimensions – is especially comfortable, and, with a set of Avid’s powerful yet precise hydraulic disc brakes, the duo is in good hands. When Rosa hops into a shop in Prenzlberg, little Hannah can wait comfortably in

her seat: the Double Kickstand can handle a whopping 220 lbs (100 kg). And after helping her mom pedal through the city, an ice cream really hits the spot. For Papa’s long legs, the Children’s Crankset can be dismounted lickety-split – that is, if the girls ever let him have a turn…

PINO | A C C E S S O R I E S Fairing: Great climate for stokers You can’t leave a hardworking copilot out in the rain. A few clicks and snaps is all it takes to mount the Fairing to the frame, and keep the rain or drizzle off the stoker. Getting in and out of the seat is just as easy as always, and the stocker can even enjoy the Fairing’s rearview mirror. No more rain? Then the Fairing folds away almost as easily as an umbrella and fits nicely into the handy Fairing Bag. Another argument: Even the captain will stay dryer …

Suspension Seat Post Comfort for the captain: the finely tuned Suspension Seat Post from Airwings lets the boss cruise smoothly over the most uneven surfaces. The “overseer”, after all, should also have a comfortable seat.

SON Hub Dynamo The optimal light source for tours or daily commutes: SON’s specially designed hub dynamo for 20-inch wheels. Light and smooth-rolling, powerful and completely reliable in all weather conditions. The eco-power outlet for the road. 18

Suspension Fork I: What pothole? Be it cobblestones or potholes: The Spinner Grind Suspension Fork irons out the bumps – meaning even more comfort, especially for the partner in the front seat. But beware: the extra comfort makes it even harder to call it a day. Tubus Luggage Rack Narrow, strong, lower lying: the chromoly steel rack is ultra-stable and can carry an impressive 88 lbs (40 kg) of luggage. The low positioning of the rack stays ensures a low center of gravity – which means optimal stability and handling, even when fully loaded.

Double Grips: Sporty or ergo … your choice! Whether joy ride or competition: with the additional handlebar grips, the pilot can alter his or her position as desired for optimal comfort – without having to adjust the handlebars.

Suspension Fork II: Comfort de Luxe Comfort tuning: the fork’s 80 mm of travel make any tour feel like a glide. The ultra-light aluminum Suspension Fork from White Brothers is air damped and can be finely tuned to the weight of the riders.

PINO | A C C E S S O R I E S Children’s Crankset The Children’s Crankset can be easily mounted to the front boom and adjusted to your child’s leg length with a quick-release mechanism. Just pull the chain around the chainring, and it’s off to school with a proud pedaler in the front seat. Minimum height: 3’3” (100 cm) Rohloff Speedhub: A true paradigm shift 14 speeds in one high-tech shell: the Rohloff is indisputably the best hub on the market: shifts when stationary or under load, extra-wide gear range, even gear spacing, 100 % dirt and rain resistant – always in noble black for the HASE PINO.

Double Kickstand Developed by HASE, loved by touring cyclists everywhere. The bicycle is braced for packing and unpacking and absolutely untippable, even when the front passenger has the fidgets. Can hold a total of 220 lbs (100 kg), including “lively loads”.

Power plus for Pinoists: Bionx electric assist The Bionx kit turns your PINO into a pedelec: 250 watts push along when the team is pedaling – at least up to the motor’s maximum speed of 15 mph (25 km/h), and one charge will take you up to 37 miles (60 km). You decide how much assistance is provided.

Lowrider Rack The Lowrider Rack under the recumbent seat carries two small panniers on each side – which, with the rear wheel rack, brings the total capacity to 6 panniers! And the low position of the load between the axles means easy handling. Nothing could be safer! 19

KETTWIESEL | A L L R O U N D

In the center of the action One wheel in front, two behind, you in the middle – and fun all around: the riding dynamics on the KETTWIESEL ALLROUND make you want to zoom off and around the next hair-pin turn. But there’s also way more relaxation than on a two-wheeler : at the traffic light, your feet can rest on the pedals, and you, on the comfy mesh seat.

Stefan Rogge is actually a photographer and comes from the Ruhr region. And actually he never rides a trike. For our shooting, though, he took a spin on the KETTWIESEL ALLROUND – thanks to the quick-adjust frame, he was in the pedals in a flash – and zipping through the east of Berlin.

enjoy a leisurely cruise and take in the pulsating city around you. After all, the trike is designed for intuitive riding: the rider’s hands fall naturally onto the infinitely adjustable under-seat handlebars, gears are shifted just as naturally with a twist shifter, and the Avid disc-brake system on the rear wheels stops the action with Marx-Allee, and on and on. The two make a good couple. He’s also an all-rounder, doubling as a weekend DJ in his adopted home, Berlin. But wieseling can also be a source of joy. No wonder: a mere 18 inches (46 cm) below him, the asphalt whizzes past. The low center of gravity and the seat position between the rear wheels

add up to perfect road-holding; the low weight and race-bike gear system from Shimano make for strong acceleration, and the KETTWIESEL geometry translates into adrenaline-pumping corners. You can adjust the angle and firmness of the mesh seat to suite your style. And with the cornering master, you can also

force, whenever necessary. It also has a parking-brake mechanism – nobody wants their Wiesel to run off without them. Speaking of running off: the ALLROUND even earns full marks in transport. With the Quickstick hubs by Marec Hase, the rear wheels can be popped off in a jiffy. Even smaller? In a few more steps, any KETTWIESEL can be made small enough for a compact car. Even Stefan’s doubts – “How is this delta thing supposed to fit into the basement compartment of my East-Berlin, pre-fab apartment house?” – were totally dispelled: parked on end, it takes up less space than a normal bike. 21

KETTWIESEL | TO U R

Touring to the power of three Leaning back. Enjoying the panorama. Resting in your seat. Relaxation in your neck and shoulders. Long-distance adrenalin. Fully loaded with no wobble. Downhill with gusto … a small glossary of key phrases on the subject “Touring with the KETTWIESEL TOUR”. You’ll most likely be adding your own terms in no time at all – probably after the very first ride. And you’ll experience a whole new dimension of touring.

Trikes are transport wizards – especially with the Luggage Bag from HASE and Ortlieb on the KETTWIESEL TOUR. This insatiable 42-liter pannier, in attractive white or black, hangs conveniently on the seat frame, making it just as accessible as the trunk of your car. The difference is, you can’t unhook a trunk and take it

Technical data: Dimensions: same as KETTWIESEL ALLROUND Frame/Fork: 7046 / 7005 aluminum Front boom: 6061-T6 aluminum Weight with trike bag: 50 lbs (23 kg) Brakes: Avid BB7 mechanical disc brakes with parking brake mechanism Wheels: 20", Hubs: HASE Quickstick, Rims: double wall with eyelets, Spokes: DT Swiss; Tires: Front: Schwalbe Marathon 47 x 406, Rear: Big Apple 60 x 406 Crankset: Truvativ Touro triple Gears: 27-speed Shimano Tiagra, SRAM Centera twist shifters Lighting system: hub dynamo SON R, Taillight: B & M Toplight Flat Plus, Headlight: B & M Lumotec IQ Cyo Senso Plus Fenders: SKS Special equipment: Differential, 42-liter Luggage Bag Color: matt black / powder-coated

with you … For the long haul, just add, for example, Ortlieb panniers to the lowrider on the front wheel: 25 liters of additional luggage volume with no adverse effects on handling and, of course, totally waterproof. Relaxed, safe, and with mammoth riding fun: the KETTWIESEL TOUR will expand your travel horizons. The

mesh seat becomes a panoramic look-out point, and the comfortable under-seat handlebars, joysticks for choosing your destination. With the Shimano Tiagra 27-speed derailleur and the Truvativ Touro crankset, you’ll always be able to find the right gear ratio, no matter what the terrain. And because, with the KETTWIESEL, you may often find yourself staying on the road much longer than planned, we’ve included Busch & Müller’s top-of-the-line lighting system: the IQ Cyo Senso Plus will light up the darkest forest paths, and the dependable Flat Plus taillight comes with a standlight – which also helps when you’re digging for your keys

in the luggage bag at night. The juice comes from the sophisticated SON 20 R in the front wheel. And for those who love the crunch of loose gravel under their wheels, HASE offers double the drive: with the Differential, both rear wheels are driven – transforming the KETTWIESEL into the jeep of trikes … 23

KETTWIESEL | C U S TO M

My style of Wiesel “Three wheels – and leave the rest to me!” Be it tie or trike: we need certain things to convey our style. The right look, the optimal function. After all, individuality is an art in itself. No problem, with the KETTWIESEL CUSTOM. The inhabitants of Copenhagen’s trendy neighborhood Christiania agree.

Along the colorful streets, where punks once squat abandoned houses and art is now a part of everyday life, HASE design engineer Dirk van Rijn test-rode the “lifestyle factor” of the KETT WIESEL CUSTOM. Individuality scores high: the phat aluminum frame dazzles in stylish pastel green. Earth-friendly powder

off, as Dirk dutifully demonstrated on the bike-friendly streets of Christiania. What goes up must come down: simply apply the brakes. With Avid Elixir 3 hydraulic two-piece calipers on the rear wheels, you can slow the action in small, homeopathic doses or with full power. And you’ll always have a soft landing

when coming back down to earth: the optional Spinner Grind 1 suspension fork irons out even the bumpiest cobblestone streets. At the request of numerous customers, HASE has added Marathon Plus tires to its CUSTOM product line. The dirt road at the edge of town is waiting …

coating is a given. HASE’s specially designed Differential spins under the seat, where the stiff tubing arches over the sprocket. Traction on any terrain. You just never know where the road may take you. And if you’re a wheelie fan, you gotta have a diff: with a cool set of wheels, there’s no better way to show joy – or just show 25

KETTWIESEL | A C C E S S O R I E S

Luggage Bag: A miracle of space The insatiable 42-liter HASE Luggage Bag from Ortlieb is available in black or white. Just hang it onto the mounts behind the seatback. The low center of gravity will make your KETTWIESEL even more solid in the curves.

Speed Drive Double your gears with the press of a button: the Schlumpf Speed Drive has earned cult status among bike-tech freaks. Activated with a simple click of your heel, the Speed Drive turns an eight or nine speed gear system into a fully tour-ready 16 or 18 speed transmission.

Universal Coupling: Connecting people This multi-functional coupling will attach as easily to your shopping trailer as to the HASE TRETS or a child trailer. And a trike tandem can be created by attaching the fork of a second KETTWIESEL. Even Weber and BOB Yak systems are welcome. Electric Motor: The Power Pack For long and hilly commutes or just a little extra speed and comfort: The Protanium motor transforms the KETT WIESEL into a trike hybrid. The 180 W package on the front wheel powers along when you start pedaling. Otherwise it travels – incognito – in hub disguise.

Gear Systems: The choice is the hardest part For a custom-made bike or trike, it’s you who decides the number and range of gears for your unique path and pace: replace the front derailleur with a simple chainring in the front – or would you prefer three chainrings for a wide range of gears? And in the back: will it be the 9-speed Shimano Tiagra? Or maybe you’re the type who values maintenance-free, all-weather hub gears? If so, you can choose between the uncomplicated 8-speed Nexus and Rohloff’s ingenious all-round Speedhub with 14 gears and a body built specially for Hase.

Lowrider Rack Even more space for touring luggage: our Lowrider Rack puts more weight on the front wheel without affecting the handling. The advantage over standard lowrider racks: plenty of clearance between the panniers and the pedals! (Not compatible with the carbon fork, suspension forks, 16-inch forks.)

KETTWIESEL | A C C E S S O R I E S Differential: Power for two It’s the invention that made the car possible: the differential. And on the KETTWIESEL, it’s the final ingredient for ultimate riding fun, especially on loose gravel or sand. Specially designed by Marec Hase for the KETTWIESEL, the Differential transfers the pedal power to both rear wheels. It shows its true colors on rough terrain or muddy slopes, where others skid out. And if you want to do wheelies on the KETTWIESEL, the Differential is an absolute must.

Children’s Crankset: Me too! For children and adults under 5’1” (1.55 m), we recommend using our Children’s Crankset with 110 or 140 mm crank arms (standard: 170 mm) for improved ergonomics. This crankset provides a reduced pedaling radius for shorter legs.

SON: Amps to go The light and smooth-rolling SON 20 R is the most reliable electricity source for bikes and trikes. Constant power supply in any weather, maintenance-free, and durable. The best eco-power for outdoors.

Side Pouch 2.3 l The perfect place for stowing those small things you can’t live without: keys, driver’s license, business cards, and cell phones easily fit in the cool pouch, which fastens effortlessly to the fender. The perfect transport solution for short trips without luggage.

Universal Mounting Bracket Information is everything, especially when the KETTWIESEL is on tour. For logging speed and distance, a bike computer of your choice can be mounted to the Wiesel frame. Also suitable for GPS units and lights. Fits tubes z”– 2n” (15 – 60 mm) in diameter.

Foldable Fairing and Rain Poncho Rain? Bring it on! Well-stowed and always on hand in its separate bag, the Foldable Fairing can be mounted in flash. And when drizzle turns to deluge, just pull out the Rain Poncho: Attach it to the Fairing, slip through, zip up the collar – done! Cool look included! 27

LEPUS

Comfort? Naturally! Mellow mobility instead of speed. Laid-back legwork instead of sore muscles. Our LEPUS is pure high-tech but easy to handle, comfortable and above all: practical! Eric and his green-thumbed daughters in the dreamy little town of Dragør can vouch for how well transport, comfort, and nature can go hand in hand …

And what has nature taught us? The best solutions are often quite simple, or even simply beautiful. Like flowers on the roadside – or a whole flower shop, like the one here in the Danish town of Dragør. Simplicity and practicality are also the active ingredients of the LEPUS drive: all eight gears in a single hub, easy to shift with a

LEPUS Technical data: Total length: 70"– 87" (177–221cm) Total width: 33" (85 cm) Total height: variable 32"– 43" (82–110 cm) Seat height: adjustable from 20"– 28" (50 –70 cm) Bottom bracket height: low 20" (50 cm), high 22" (56 cm) Pack size: 22"x 33"x 42" (56 x 85 x 107 cm) Wheelbase: 48"– 65" (122–166 cm) Frame: 25 CroMo4 Front boom: 25 CroMo4 Weight without bag: 56 lbs (25.5 kg) Brakes: Rear: Tektro Auriga Twin hydraulic disc brakes with parking brake mechanism, Front: Avid BB7 mechanical disc brakes Wheels: 20", Hubs: HASE Quickstick, Rims: double wall with eyelets, Spokes: DT Swiss, Tires: Schwalbe Marathon 47 x 406 Gears: Nexus 8-speed Premium hub gears Crankset: Truvativ ISO flow 32 tooth Fenders/Luggage rack: SKS / HASE Cargo Net Suspension: Standard model comes with air shock. The model shown is equipped with a DT Swiss XM 180 (optional). Lighting system: Dynamo: B & M Dymotec 6, Taillight: B & M Toplight Flat Plus, Headlight: Basta Sprint Steady Luggage bag (optional): HASE / Ortlieb 49liter Colors: royal green / powder-coated

Riders with especially high standards for comfort choose the optional DT Swiss XM180 – and float away on a pillow of air. The seat height can be varied from 20 to 28 inches (50 –70 cm). And the LEPUS luggage tray can even handle an entire box of flowers for Eric’s wife. Just as practical: the substantial 49-liter gentle twist. Another example of HASE ingenuity: the suspension swing arm that supports the rear wheels makes the LEPUS feel like a sedan. A top-quality air-sprung suspension system takes the bite out of nasty road shocks. The stiffness of the shock absorber is infinitely adjustable to your weight and the type of terrain.

Ortlieb Luggage Bag for when, instead of flowers, you’re hauling the weekend groceries home. The disc brake system even has a separate parking brake mechanism to keep the trike from rolling off while you’re loading it up. For transport, the LEPUS can be folded to fit into even compact

cars: the swing arm can be easily folded forward; with folded seat, the trike package measures a mere 22 x 33 x 42” (56 x 85 x107 cm). And those who ride their LEPUS on a daily basis can stay warm and dry in any weather with the new mobile Fairing, which can be unfolded and clipped on in just minutes. 29

LEPUS | C O M F O R T

Some like it … comfy! The LEPUS COMFORT is the all-around, feel-good trike for people who place a high value on comfortable safety. People for whom fun mobility does not include the fast and the furious. They romanticize over cobblestone streets but don’t necessarily want to bounce over them. And they know what difference a little angle in the frame can make.

Ingrid Manthey-Sauer is never happy about leaving her beloved Ruhr region. Especially not for the “wild east”. After all, she fled East Germany as a child. But with the prospect of meeting her longlost school friend, Elli, she tagged along with the HASE shooting crew, enjoying some beautiful days there with Elli. And on the

Lighting system: Dynamo: B & M Dymotec 6, Taillight: B & M Toplight Flat Plus, Headlight: Basta Sprint Steady Luggage bag (optional): HASE / Ortlieb Colors: pearl gray / powder-coated

The comfort begins when you first sit down: the angled boom – together with the small, 16” wheel up front – makes getting into the seat a whole lot easier. With the lowered position of the bottom bracket, even pedaling is more comfortable, especially for older riders or riders with handicaps. Add to that a dose of LEPUSLEPUS COMFORT. The old friends could hardly contain their excitement: “Wow, there, do you remember …?” and “Gosh, this is so nice!” For example, when touring Berlin’s Museum Island. And sometimes, this enthusiasm was directed at the trikes on which they comfortably explored their old stomping grounds.

style ergonomics: the seat height, seatback angle, handlebar width, and even handlebar angle are all adjustable. Comfort and enjoyment go hand in hand with safety – with the LEPUS, a given: the LEPUS COMFORT is designed for intuitive riding, thanks in part to the hub gears. A gentle pressure from your index finger is all it takes to actuate the Tektro Auriga Twin hydraulic disc brakes. And like any LEPUS, the COMFORT is also collapsible for easy transport. But Ingrid wasn’t ready to pack her LEPUS away so soon. There were just so many more places she and Elli wanted to explore … 31

TRETS

For pacifiers and pedal-pushers Kids are totally unpredictable – just the way they should be. After all, they have to discover the world, in all its variety, for themselves. This means: we should be flexible too – like ever ything else in their exciting world. This is why we reinvented the TRETS once again – and made it even more variable. The little ones seem quite pleased …

Even babies are eager to explore their world. No problem, with the new TRETS: its new design can accommodate an infant carrier or baby seat. Now passengers from about one month of age can begin their TRETS careers! Robin takes in the world with curious eyes. What he doesn’t know yet: his comfy

TRETS

desired direction, somewhat like the front wheels of a shopping cart – but much more accurately. And be it jogging or shopping, mom can easily slow the momentum with the levers of the powerful Avid disc brakes at her fingertips. In the meantime, Robin is safely strapped in and enjoying the ride. In the afterTRETS will be with him for years to come. And once he gets a bit older and more active, it will all be even more fun. For example, when mama takes her morning run, followed by her shopping errands, surrogate dad Dirk von Rijn takes him on a bike tour, or the little pilot eventually takes the wheel of his very own trike. Too much at once? As every parent knows, those years fly by … When redesigning the TRETS, we took special care in coming up with the optimal Jogger and Buggy. We accomplished it, in part, by adding the smaller front wheel and a new wheel-mounting system for multiple uses. We also added the practical footrest

to guarantee maximum protection for the little legs dangling outside the baby seat. On her run, mom can now steer with the handlebar that will later be used by the young triker for tearing down the same paths. This works as smooth as silk – and with safety – thanks to the new chassis. The front wheel turns automatically in the

TRETS

noon, it’s down to the river Spree with buddy, Dirk: front wheel off, drawbar on – and in just a few minutes, the TRETS has been transformed into a trailer. In this April weather, the handy Fairing can be snapped on quickly. It can also be used in Jogger mode. Come rain or snow, Lisa is always smiling, warm and cozy in

her own mini climate to-go. But it’s not long before the young passenger is ready for a little more action. Then it’s time to pedal along and show dad what an outboard motor feels like! With the 7-speed SRAM derailleur that Lisa controls by twist shifter directly beside the seat, it’s easy to find just the right

For it’s much more exciting to captain your own ship: the TRETS turns on a dime, the cornering is whoooosh, and the coolness factor can be gauged by the faces of the on-looking kids. For transport, the trike folds up to packable size: just take off the gear. After all, it’s only right to leave a little pedaling work for the guy up front. And then there’s the Trike – Hannah made a whole trip yesterday on her own three wheels: papa took the push bar out of the jogger, mounted it to the head tube, made a quick adjustment for just the right handlebar

HASE | A C C E S S O R I E S

Practical parts for perfectionists All of our bikes and trikes are built according to the same concept: as specialized as necessar y – as flexible as possible. For highly sophisticated cyclists and special applications, we also offer you a wide range of accessories – like the HASE Universal Coupling for doubling the fun with the KETTWIESEL tandem …

Universal Coupling: Get hitched! With this Hase accessory you can hitch up almost anything on wheels: draw bars for the attachment of quick-release hub axles as well as the BOB Yak, the Weber adapter, and of course the KETTWIESEL and TRETS.

HASE | A C C E S S O R I E S SON Hub Dynamo: Eco-power to go Lightweight, smooth running, and full power: with the new Hub Dynamo for 20-inch wheels, you’ll never run out of energy. In any weather.

B & M Mirror: For better hindsight! Tailgaters beware! Because looking over your shoulder is no fun on a recumbent: the rearview mirror from Busch & Müller gives you a wide view to the back thanks to its special optics. (not pictured)

Bar End Shifters: Cool clicks A fingertip, and you’re in gear: for all derailleur systems, we offer Shimano Bar End Shifters instead of twist shifters. The ultimate in smooth shifting.

Lowrider Rack: Sweet and low When the rear luggage bag is too small or you want to ride with a more evenly distributed load, the Lowrider Rack is the perfect solution for the LEPUS and KETT WIESEL. Just click on a set of standard Lowrider panniers and off you go! (not pictured) Extra-long fenders: Extra dry legs Now it’s even more fun to ride the KETTWIESEL in tandem – especially for the rear rider: with the extended rear-wheel fenders, he’ll stay clean and dry, even in wet weather – and the KETTWIESEL couple can plow through puddles without needing a change of clothes.

LEPUS Foldable Fairing: Comfort climate to go With its portable climate protection, the LEPUS is an all-weather, all-round, feel-good trike: when rain is in the forecast, the Fairing can be unpacked, unfolded, and clipped on in less than two minutes. And if it’s a storm a brewin’, simply add the integrated Poncho.

Headrest: Stable backing Craving a little extra support? The flexible Headrest makes triking even more enjoyable. Lean back during pit stops and soak in some rays.

Hase Differential: Double the drive For even better propulsion on poor surfaces and the ultimate offroad experience: HASE’s Differential for the KETTWIESEL or LEPUS transfers the power to both rear wheels. By the way, this accessory is a must for wheeliefans …

XXL: The extra portion! We offer XXL versions of many HASE parts: for example a seat with an extra 3 inches (7 centimeters) of width for larger riders, as well as extensions for the seat and seatback and XXL handlebar grips. Just ask! (not pictured)

Electric Drive: Tailwind de Luxe The electric motor is suitable for everyday use or can be switched on for steep hills and longer stretches. It can be used with all HASE bikes and trikes and does not require a permit to operate. Simple controls, and all gear system options remain. The 180-watt motor is extremely quiet. High-quality lithium-ion battery. The battery is easy to remove but lockable for theft protection. An empty battery can be completely recharged in only 4m hours. Battery 24 V and 9 Ah, 500 – 700 charge cycles. Weight: 15 lbs (7 kg). Not compatible with hub dynamos. 37

HANDBIKE

Being there is everything! The more severe the physical limitations, the harder it is to make mobility possible. But this is where it’s especially important. The HASE HANDBIKE has mastered the balancing act: it’s flexible and therefore totally practical, but still makes biking loads of fun! “Joie de vivre to go”, in more ways than one!

Our model Oliver Anthofer was thrilled to accept our invitation for a shooting session in Berlin – a city the Austrian had never visited. He especially enjoyed pedaling along in Berlin’s early summer bicycle traffic. No wonder: experienced handbikers can ride the HANDBIKE, with KETTWIESEL or LEPUS frame,

HANDBIKE

Technical data: Total length: 63"– 81" (160 –205 cm), without front wheel 54" (137 cm) Total width: 34" (86 cm) Total height: 37" (95 cm) Turning circle: left 11'2" (3.40 m), right 13'5” (4.10 m) at mean length adjustment Seat height: 18" (46 cm) Bottom bracket height: 18 ½" (47 cm) Pack size: 63"– 81"x 21"x 34" (160 –205 x 53 x 86 cm) Wheelbase: 46"– 64" (116 –162 cm) Frame / Fork: 7046 / 7005 aluminum Front boom: 6061-T6 aluminum Brakes: hydraulic disc brakes Wheels: 20", Hubs: HASE Quickstick, Rims: double wall with eyelets, Spokes: DT Swiss, Tires: Schwalbe Marathon 47 x 406 Gears: 9-speed Shimano Tiagra, Schlumpf Mountain Drive Lighting system: Dynamo: B & M Dymotec 6, Taillight: B & M Toplight Flat Plus, Headlight: Basta Sprint Steady Colors: black / powder-coated

his HANDBIKE. For this, nothing beats the optional 14-speed Rohloff hub and – the optional feature that turns this trike into the only hand bike on the market with real climbing skills – a Differential, which drives both rear wheels. It makes the mountains barrier-free; which Oliver unfortunately can’t say about Berlin’s just as fast as a standard trike. And the engineering is hot off the presses, as illustrated by the model shown here. You can customize your HANDBIKE from the same set of components as, for example, the KETTWIESEL ALLROUND, meaning highquality hydraulic disc brakes, your choice of derailleur or hub gears

from top manufacturers, and a wide range of gears, which is especially important for hand drive. Although: in terms of power, our handbiker has plenty to spare. Back home, Oliver, who has been paraplegic since an accident 20 years ago, loves nothing more than cranking up and down the Austrian mountain trails on

hotels and bars. And the HANDBIKE ergonomics can be adapted to every rider – from the adjustable crank handles and well-designed leg supports to the moveable steering column for easy mounting and dismounting. And for those who prefer an extra dose of comfort: the LEPUS HANDBIKE is suspended … 39

TRIX

Truly magical … TRIX! Fun mobility is especially important for young people with disabilities as well as children in physical therapy. Enthusiasm fuels development! Our TRIX was designed for this ver y purpose. Because fun-filled physical activity trains agility, coordination, and much more. Possible side effects: smiles, laughter, and – in some cases – uncontrollable giggling.

The TRIX takes kids to an exciting new level of physical activity … frustration free. Even the youngest riders will have no problem shifting the 8-speed gear hub. The TRIX is infinitely adjustable and ergonomically designed to fit kids of all shapes, sizes, and special needs, be it disability or rehabilitation. From leg-length

adjustment to adjustable underseat handlebars, and so much more. The pedals have toe clips and straps to keep the feet secure so that the pilot can focus her full attention on navigation and, of course … fun. Even the 140 mm cranks and the small, 16” front wheel are optimized for smaller riders. But the TRIX isn’t

just for small fry: anyone from 4’1” (1.25 m) to 6’3” (1.90 m) in height can ride, and the trike has been constructed with the sturdiest heavyweights in mind: an extremely robust frame, powerful – yet very smooth – disc brakes, and durable components. The wheels have spoke guards to protect children’s hands. And, for transport, the rear wheels can be quickly removed, thanks to HASE’s own Quickstick hubs. With no tools – or magic wand – the TRIX can be transformed to suitcase-size in a flash. Great for parents: in Germany, the TRIX is registered as a medical aid and is therefore recognized by health insurance companies! 41

Specials for special riders Sometimes a minor detail stands between us and our mobility: for example, if your knee doesn’t bend far enough, then a bicycle with standard equipment is useless. The range of special accessories from HASEBIKES compensates for such minor – or even major – differences, helping restore normal mobility – be it rehab patients or people with handicaps.

Trailer Bar: Hitching a ride Simple name, fine piece of equipment: the Trailer Bar turns any bike into a KETTWIESEL-towing machine – without sacrificing safety: the integrated overrun brake system works automatically.

Open AHEAD Cap The open AHEAD cap makes it possible to attach any commercially available bicycle stem to the fork of a KETTWIESEL or LEPUS. The stem can be used for the attachment of grab handles, push handles, and much more.

Brake Coupling For people with reduced mobility in one hand. The coupling connects the two disc brakes with a single brake lever. Precision hydraulics and the ergonomic design of the lever guarantee full braking power and excellent modulation, singlehandedly.

Armrest: Take a load off When the arm cannot support its own weight, these comfortable armrests ensure a relaxed arm position.

Single-hand Controls A single grip with all control elements! Using a special adapter, two brake levers can be mounted on one side. This allows the rider to shift gears and control both brake levers using a single hand.

Fixed Gear Hub The trike becomes a fixie with a single gear. With the Fixed Gear Hub, the pedals of the KETTWIESEL or TRETS remain in motion as long as the trike is moving. Especially sensible for physical therapy patients and people with limited mobility. Coaster Brake When the legs are more mobile than the hands, the coaster brake ensures full braking power â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with high tech: pedaling backwards transfers the leg power to a hydraulic disc brake.

One-sided Leg Support A comfortable solution for people with paralysis on one side of the body or a handicap. The healthy leg can pedal while the other is safely strapped into its own comfortable support. The infinitely adjustable Leg Support mounts behind the bottom bracket. 43

Handlebar Extensions Putting the steering unit within reach: the KETTWIESEL and LEPUS can be equipped with up to 80 cm handlebar extensions. 16” Front Wheel Mounting and pedaling is easier with the lowered frame height.

Crank Shortener For people with legs of different lengths or restrictions in leg mobility … but also for kids. The pedals can be slid individually along the crank for separate adjustment, optimizing rehabilitation training or allowing the crank length to grow with your child. Freewheel Switch-off For children in physical therapy, it is often sensible to keep the muscles moving over a longer period of time. This is where our Freewheel Switch-off comes in: this little mechanism keeps those little legs in motion. Simple cause, major effect.

Safety Belts Shoulder belts and lap belts gently secure riders with motor disorders to the recumbent seat.

Turn Signal System Even more passive safety – and not only for people with handicaps. The battery-powered Turn Signal System is operated intuitively with the simple touch of a button. And with its inconspicuous looks, it blends right in with the design of your trike.

Special Steering / Shoulder Steering Unit Mobility for people with no arms or short arms. The width of the steering unit is fully adjustable. A coaster brake is used for stopping.

HASE | S P E C I A L A C C E S S O R I E S Pendulum Pedal These pedals can help people with severely limited mobility slowly regain their flexibility and strength. The trick: pedaling is possible with very little bend to the legs. The pedals can be adjusted to allow for more movement as leg strength returns, creating a beneficial training effect.

Pedals with Toe Clips and Straps As an alternative to clipless pedals and shoes with cleats: these Pedals hold the front portion of the foot with a brace, guaranteeing the correct foot position, while the elastic strap around the heel prevents slipping. Also available in a children’s version.

Seat or Seatback Extension More space – more comfort. This option gives you extra room on the seat or seatback.

Holder for Walking Sticks Just place the walking sticks or cane in the holder, secure them with the clamp, and hit the road. Multi- functional. Fits tubes z”– 2n” (15 – 60 mm) in diameter.

Special Pedals With these pedals for people with motor disorders, the feet can be secured in the correct position and prevented from slipping. Precision positioning pure. Also available in a children’s version.

Special Pedals with Calf Support In addition to the secure positioning of the foot on the Special Pedal, the calf brace provides stability for the lower leg and the angle of the ankle. Also available in a children’s version. 45

HASEBIKES: Creating mobility â&#x20AC;Ś and more Bike culture goes beyond bike building. Take the Extraschicht, for example: each year, the Zeche Waltrop is a venue for this, the largest festival in the Ruhr region with lots of culture and culinar y delights. The HASE buildings also host other concerts and festivals throughout the year. Festivities, culture, and even space for advertising.

The Extraschicht is THE festival of the Ruhr region: exciting, diverse, colorful â&#x20AC;&#x201C; something for everyone. The HASEBIKES headquarters is also a major venue. Here, on the eclectic summer nights of the festival, you can find street theater, trike races, culinary treats, and lightshows to blow your mind.

HASE | E X T R A S HASE Buff: Warm can be so cool! Multifunctional, cool, and immensely practical: The original Buff scarf doubles as a cap, mask, bandana, wristband and much more. If you’ve never experienced a Buff, it’s time to try!

Printing for the Foldable Fairing Too attractive and too conspicuous not to show off: now you can order the KLIMAX Foldable Fairing with your own printed advertising. Be it “IT trickstuff” or “Helen’s Hairdresser”: in terms of billboards, the KLIMAX is as classy as it gets.

KETTWIESEL Ad Banner The racing billboard: 21 ft 2 (2 m2) of space for your original logo on three wheels. Mount it to the KETTWIESEL in no time at all, and your promo-Porsche is ready to roll.

Climate protection is cool! Especially when it comes in formfitting organic cotton. HASE offers the perfect T-shirt to complete “the look” and fit your attitude ... if you dare. From the bold and sassy Klimagipfel (“climate summits”) and Reizklima (“bracing/sexy climate”) for the ladies … to the cool and classic Trockenleger (“dry docker/’bent”) and Rainman for the gents. Time to work on that German accent … and multiculti look.
