This is my other trike (usually driven by my wife): a HP Velotechnik Scorpion fs recumbent trike with BionX electric support (Pedelec).
A recumbent trike is by far the most comfortable and safe human powered vehicle I can imagine.
The Scorpion fs is a full suspension trike that is equipped with a Shimano XT 27s with bar end shifters, coupled Tektro Auriga brakes, the dynamo hub powered brilliant Edelux LED light (never seen anything brighter on a bike) and the ErgoMesh seat. (The other trike has the Bodylink seat with airflow cushion and head rest).
The electric power assist system BionX PL250HT flattens the landscape. You can see the battery wrapped into a nylon case below the seat. The electric motor is placed within the rear wheel. There is even a recuperation mode that you can adjust in four levels. It is also activated when using the disc brakes and helps to charge the battery while driving. (You do not need to use the electric support, if you don´t want to. It is always optional.)
The only thing missing is a larger topcase for my camera equipment, but time will tell...

This is by far the most comfortable human powered vehicle I can imagine.
The Scorpion trikes are made in Germany based on a standard frame that was developed by HP Velotechnik. They can be customized with a number of options:
- brakes (coupled, uncoupled disks, parking brake)
- gear shift/powertrain
- lighting
- electric assist (pedelec)
- seating
- colors
- front boom quick adjuster
- other options like trike fenders, luggage rack, wheels etc.
The standard version of the full suspension foldable trike Scorpion fs starts at €3.490,--, but customized you can easily reach €6.000,-- or more.
This photo is showing the trike like it was delivered. Meanwhile it was equipped with lighting (Schmidt dynamo hub, Edelux LED light at the front, LED backlights) and a luggage rack with an Ortlieb Bike Box. The battery is now wrapped into a black nylon case that protects it from dirt and humidity.
When folded two Scorpion fs can be transported in my station wagon which is great for weekend trips anywhere in the country. Oh, by the way: I fly by trike when going to Frankfurt Airport for plane spotting - you do not need to search for a place to leave your car, and you are much more flexible in going to different places on the same day. And: it keeps me fit!
