GreenSpeed GT26 quick facts, per GreenSpeed

That bigger wheel holds its speed. On a long ride you notice it. Put wider tires on it and it handles a gravel road just fine.

The seat mount moves up and forward or down and back.

Hank has been into recumbents a long time. "My first recumbent was the Groundhugger out of the Popular Mechanics magazine in 1969," he told us. He and Connie spent weeks watching trike videos and looked hard at GreenSpeed. If you want miles, not just a spin around the block, the GT26 is the one I'd look at.

Rider on a loaded GreenSpeed recumbent trike on an open country road

Made for the rider who still likes to go fast

Maybe you rode a road bike for years and you still want to feel the miles roll under you. Going to a trike isn't trading that in. The GT26 is built for the rider who wants distance and speed without the back, neck, and wrist pain an upright hands you after a few miles. You sit back, you crank, and you keep up.

Folding

Finally, the GT26 is outfitted with top componentry, all while still retaining a conveniently foldable frame.

Efficient

The efficient rectangular main tube, combined with the crank extension allow for incredibly efficient strokes, while keeping the trike stiff and light.

Built for distance

The 26-inch rear wheel rolls faster and holds momentum better than the smaller GT20, so longer rides feel easier and quicker.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the GT26 and the GT20?

The big one is the rear wheel. The GT26 runs a 26-inch rear wheel where the GT20 runs a 20-inch. That taller wheel rolls faster and carries its speed better, so if you ride longer distances and like to keep a good pace, the GT26 is the one. Both fold, both come from the same GreenSpeed family.

Does the GT26 still fold up for transport?

It does. Even with the larger rear wheel, the GT26 folds down so you can fit it in a car or tuck it away at home. The folding frame is one of the reasons people love this trike.

Is the GT26 hard to ride if I've never been on a recumbent?

It's easier than the bike you grew up on. Three wheels means no balancing, so you sit down and start pedaling. If you're coming off a road bike, the riding position takes a few minutes to get used to, then it just feels natural.

What kind of tires does it come with?

It comes on Schwalbe Kojak tires, which are low rolling resistance, so they roll easy and help you carry speed. That pairs well with the larger rear wheel for distance riding.

How do I know the GT26 is the right fit for my body?

That's what the Dream Trike Session is for. Get on a call with Laid Back Mickey and he'll ask about your back, your knees, your reach, and how you want to ride, then tell you whether the GT26 fits you or if another trike would serve you better.
