Pedal-Powered FAT Recumbent Trike with Full Suspension
Starting at €4,090, including VAT.
The SpecBikeTechnics FAT is a customizable pedal-powered recumbent trike with independent suspension and wide 4-inch tires. It is designed for riders who want a mechanical drivetrain combined with additional traction and stability on paved roads, gravel, compacted dirt and soft surfaces.
The standard wheel configuration combines two 20 × 4-inch front wheels with one 26 × 4-inch rear wheel.
Pedal-Powered Mechanical Drivetrain
The FAT recumbent trike is driven entirely by the rider through a mechanical 3 × 9 drivetrain. The wide gear range allows the rider to select a suitable gear for different terrain and riding conditions without relying on a motor or battery.
Alternative Rohloff, Pinion and other drivetrain configurations are available on request.
Wide FAT Tires
The two 20 × 4-inch front tires and 26 × 4-inch rear tire provide a larger contact area than standard bicycle tires. This can improve traction and stability on gravel, compacted dirt, sand and snow.
Actual riding performance depends on tire pressure, rider weight and surface conditions.
Independent Full Suspension
All three wheels are independently suspended, helping to improve comfort, wheel contact and stability on uneven surfaces. Adjustable shock absorbers allow the suspension stiffness to be adapted to the rider, luggage and terrain.
Wheels and Brakes
The FAT trike is equipped with disc brakes on the front and rear wheels. The front braking system also includes a parking brake for additional convenience when stopping or parking the trike.
Adjustable Recumbent Seat
The SpecBikeTechnics fiberglass seat features an adjustable backrest. The seating position can be changed from a lower, sport-oriented position to a more upright touring position.
The recumbent seating position supports the rider’s back and helps reduce pressure on the hands and wrists during longer rides. Alternative seat options are available on request.
Steering and Handling
The steering geometry is designed to provide precise and predictable handling. The low center of gravity, wide tires and independent suspension contribute to stability on different surfaces.
Non-Folding Steel Frame
The non-folding frame is manufactured from S235JR steel, TIG-welded and protected with a durable powder-coated finish. Custom RAL frame colors are available.
The standard frame supports a maximum rider weight of 150 kg.

- Alternative drivetrain configurations
