  1. I really like the idea of repurposing this carrier they made specifically for soccer balls for melons instead. :)

  2. @FolksVelo @geeeero @spmrider @miq I apologize. Yesterday I went there at 9am. I checked the schedule for today and see the floor doesn't open 'til 10am so 10:30 am would be a bad time to meet as it's a bit into show time, but not so much that you'd already want a break.

    11am? Even that's early, but I know Oliver and Miq are planning on leaving by noon... #Spezi2025

  3. Got to take a demo ride on this today. Very smooth ride even with suspension that was softer than would be called for with someone of my mass.

    They're made in Serbia and are known for being good off-road recumbent trikes.

    They have a US distributor as well. stein-trikes-us.com/about-us

  4. @FotoVorschlag: #FotoVorschlag #Kitschiges: Bin mir nicht sicher, welches der #Velomobile ich am kitschigsten finde:

    * Das Weiße mit dem alte Mercedes-Grill,
    * Das Orangefarbene mit blauen Punkten,
    * oder doch das Pinke?

    Vermutlich doch das Pinke. 😇

  5. @ascentale @xtaran @bikenite A3. Not these ones, but there was some other vehicle I saw a video of from #Spezi2025 where the pedaling was only telling the motor how much juice to generate. While I don't want to pooh-pooh possible accessibility if that design really does great things for people with an access need, #BikeNite

  6. Spezi 2025-The Hopper Cabin Bike!

    Enclosed e-bike to persuade folks out of their big cars.

  7. Another video on the guy who came to #Spezi2025 with a recumbent tandem he made out of recycled wood and metal.

  8. Another light electric vehicle that was at #Spezi2025 They make both fully electric and ones that are pedalable with e-assist.

  9. If we want to get people out of cars, esp gas cars, old guard macho ableist cycling culture has got to unlearn their ableism and other toxic crap.

    If people want a covered bike/trike/quad with e-assist, you should be happy they are going car-light or car-free! Be supportive!

    It is a real frontier period in micromobility so there are still things to work out as far as infrastructure, rules, etiquette, etc. but we'll do better if we work together #Spezi2025 #Recumbent #BikeTooter #ClimateChange

  10. They didn't mention an URL for it, but there was an advanced prototype of the Carbike there and they said it was constantly busy on the test track...very popular.

    I think we're seeing a rise of enclosed e-bike/trike/quad ideas in order to get folks out of cars, whether they see themselves as "bike people" or not. There's a segment of the population that really wants an all-weather, inexpensive e-vehicle.

    I hope the macho ableist "that's cheating" guys shut up. #Spezi2025 #Recumbent #BikeTooter

  11. The panelists are enthusing about the Cixi chainless system that GoLo and others are using. It allows you to pedal in reverse, which is definitely something trike and quad users need due to not having as tight a turning radius as short wheelbase bicycles.

    EDIT: Also has automatic shifting and allows use of regenerative braking (if I understand correctly).

  12. One thing that I've seen and also heard is that more recumbent trike manufacturers are adding handcycle options to their lines.

    If this sticks, it's very good news for disabled riders who need it as the competition will likely bring prices lower. #Recumbent #Accessibility #Spezi2025

  13. Spezialradmesse "SPEZI" 2025 - spannende Eindrücke, Entwicklungen und Interviews

    German auto-captions enabled, with auto-translate also enabled (if you choose it in settings).

  14. TItles in German, captions in no language.

    Mostly a slide show with music, though.

    "Erinnerung an ein tolles Wochenende auf der Spzialradmesse (Spezi 2025) in Lauchringen. Vielen Dank an die Veranstalter und die vielen aktiven Helfer*innen. Es war herrlich!"

  15. Wow, it's so rare to see any cycling shirts/jerseys depicting recumbents! Even rarer to see it with decent art!

  16. Spezi 2025-HP Velotechnik Booth Interview

    About 9 minutes in, they start covering some accessibility options. The Scorpion + has a higher seating position and has a handcycle option and other accessibility options.

  17. YouTube search, like Google search, has been enshittified. So while I've searched specifically for #Spezi2025 videos, YT doesn't always show them to me.

    This one just turned up. It's in German, but no captions (even in German).

  18. One bummer about missing #Spezi2025 is that I won't have a place to try out folding recumbent trikes before buying one used or new...

    Since I still have to book my flight and there are no direct flights to Tirana, AL from where I am, maybe I should book to a city that has a large recumbent dealership?

    Any Central European folks have suggestions of cities with flights to Albania that also have a large recumbent dealership nearby?
