Who this Scorpion fs 20 is for
This trike is for the rider who wants full suspension and a seat that's easy to get in and out of. If getting down low or back up off the ground is the hard part, the high seat helps. It folds to go in the car. Add the Gride motor and the hills stop deciding where you ride.
High Seat, Easy On and Off
This fs 20 has HP's high ErgoMesh HS seat. HP lists it at 17 inches — about 4 inches higher than the standard seat. You sit down like a chair and stand up with your feet under you. No dropping into a low seat. No climbing out.
Full Suspension
Front and rear suspension take the hit out of potholes, cracks and rough paths. Your back and neck feel the road less, so you ride longer and finish fresher.
Ready to Ride, Rain or Shine
Fenders on all three wheels, a rear cargo rack, a headlight and a rear light are already on it. Schwalbe Big Apple balloon tires smooth the ride, and disc brakes on both front wheels stop you sure.
