‘Greenspeed are committed
to improving life on this
small planet by offering
the best available in
human powered vehicles.’
-- Ian Sims
Greenspeed founder & CEO
�����
A lot of people aspire to be like
Charlie Bell who, like the handful of trikers before him, has ridden
over 10,600 miles (17,000 kms) around Australia on a Greenspeed.
They probably wished the roads were constructed as well as our
trikes have been, but roads are not.
That’s why it would be fair to say that such a distance, along with
what has been chalked up by all other Greenspeed tourers and
commuters worldwide, amounts to ‘real world’ product testing.
We don’t build toys here at Greenspeed. Our designs are superior
in their quality and ease of ride, their strength and simplicity. They
cater to all sorts of people and cover a large range of uses.
We construct our trikes with the best materials. We source parts
for their reliability and workmanship, we fashion and produce
accessories so that you can use your trike everyday and in a
multiplicity of ways.
So while your next ride might only be to the corner store or
around the lake, you’ll know that the pedigree of your trike can
get you anywhere.

Another ideal use for
Anura is to couple
or link two (or more)
of them and ride in
tandem.

In just two years Anura is now one
of the world’s best selling delta-style
of tricycle. Its primary goal was to focus
on the challenge of enticing you back into
cycling or cycling more often. For some it saw
you cycling for the very first time!
wheels. The differential
powers both rear wheels
for better hill climbing and
riding on ice, whereas the
disc brakes provide superb
stopping power.
Anura does this by providing two things.
First, the superior comfort of a plush seat and
ergonomic light-action steering. Second, a
higher seating position so you wouldn’t feel
as vulnerable on the road as you might on a
lower recumbent trike or, for that matter, on
a bike.
For 2009 Anura’s differential has been
redesigned to take a standard Shimano
style splined cassette which means we can
give you a wider gear range.
Built to complement rather than to compete
with the existing delta market, this wellbalanced trike comes standard with a rear
differential and disc brakes on all three
Our RL model is set up as a 27sp derailleur
model and the SL model comes standard with
Schlumpf drive, featuring two widely spaced gears
in your cranks. They make for a superb gear range plus
simplicity!
Anura has a full range of accessories so you can use it to
commute, to exercise, to go shopping or touring.
�����
This is a great way to
encourage others to
get out there and ride
with you, particularly
those less able or less
confident. You simply
take the spare front
wheel with you or
part ways with the
flick of two levers.

For many, the gt’s most popular feature is its
foldability. The whole trike can be folded, swiftly
and simply, with just one Allen key. You may
not use this feature regularly, but you’ll be very
thankful for it when the need arises.

Featuring our
NSR (negative scrub radius)
steering, which eliminates brake
steer, enhances road feel, and
tightens the trike’s turning circle,
the gt-series II is one of the most
rock-solid trikes around.
All trikes in the gt-series
sport 40°-angle, chiropractordesigned seats, which provide both
comfort and proper spinal support.
The push /pull handle bars make use
of the stronger muscles of your arms,
thereby enabling superior vehicle control
in comparison to the cheaper, direct tiller-type

At the same time
the cromoly tubing
softens the ride.
Altogether the x-series
offers the best of many
worlds-- a strong, light and
fast sports trike that will rattle
neither your fillings nor your
nerves.
This is the vehicle that has brought back
that ‘trike grin’ to the face of many a veteran
triker. A test ride is a must!

A cross between the extreme slr
race trike and a folder, the x-series
trikes use cambered wheels (i.e.
the front wheels lean inwards at
the top) and extra caster to give a
ground-hugging ride.
A lower 30°-angle seat places you in
a more streamlined position for extra
speed. Also, some find this position more
comfortable because bodyweight is better
distributed across the back.
The rear 16” wheel makes for a more compact
trike and beefs up lateral strength to withstand
harder cornering with a fuller load without losing stability.

The gto’s 20” wheels use a more robust tire
in a common size. The 20” rear wheel can take
a full touring load, and transfers less stress to the
part of the frame bearing side loads than the larger
26” or 700c wheels sometimes used on other trikes to
compensate for inferior frame materials.

Elegant in design and well

the gtt2s is the ‘limo’ of the
Greenspeed fleet.

The irresistible appeal of a
tandem is that two people of differing performance levels
can ride together. Each one need put in only as little,
or as much, effort as one wishes. Tandem tricycles offer
great stability and allow the riders to run the cranks out of
phase for silky smooth pedaling with no dead spots.
The gtt2s tourer features two S&S Machine couplings
which allow the frame to be divided in half for easier
portability. Split links separate the timing chain and da
Vinci cable splitters divide the cables. The more versatile
gtt5s features removable seats and a frame that splits
up into three pieces.
This season we are giving you the added option
of installing an independent coasting system (ICS),
using da Vinci Designs’ independent drive. Having
an ICS means that either the stoker or the captain can
take a break while the other keeps on pedaling. This is
useful for repositioning yourself on the seat, grabbing
something out of the pannier bag, swapping bottles,
12 taking photos or just taking a break.

Meet the new flagship of the
Greenspeed fleet. Glyde is here
to take you well beyond the
boundaries of any other vehicle.
�����������������������������������������
����
Glyde is a hand welded, aircraft grade cromoly space frame wrapped in a fiberglass
shell. This offers you protection against the elements and safety from accidents. Glyde’s
aerodynamic body, which was developed over 16 years with Reflex fairings, makes it
around TWICE as efficient as a standard bike and around 60 times more efficient than
most cars.
Glyde rolls on 16” front wheels and a 20” rear. The small front wheels give an incredibly
tight turning circle and the 20” rear provides for derailleur clearance. The vehicle’s
exceptional handling is provided by suspension on all 3 wheels, our scorcher tires, and
dual Avid front disc brakes. The handle bars are a push/pull style giving you the most
control, easy access, and minimum intrusion on cabin space.
Inside you are completely sealed from the front and rear wheels, making for a quite,
clean ride. You have clean storage space behind the seat, and in front of and behind the
front wheels. Using the forward storage spaces can actually improve the handling of the
vehicle rather than hinder it.
����������

����������������
Glyde’s seat features the mesh, full ergo curves as found on our other tadpole trikes. It
adjusts easily between riders in a matter of seconds with no tools needed, so it is great
for multiple riders in a family, community or work situation.
Glyde has a SRAM DualDrive 3sp internal hub fitted with an 11-28t cassette and a 5242-30t chain ring set up front giving a range of 15-123gear inches. Using a standard
drive-train system, you can opt for many other choices, like a Rohloff 14 Speed Hub or a
Schlumpf drive.
Options will include, mirrors, turn signals, almost any style of front lights, most styles of
axle mounted commercial trailers, convertible style rain cover hood or fully enclosed
bubble, electric assist systems with 200, 350 or 500watt motors. We are also working on
a full in-board electrical system including a GPS.
14
We have developed a real alternative to the car, so come and see if you too could be
living the dream.
15
��������
The SLR Low Racer is the world’s
fastest production trike. 20 degree
seat angle, 23-5/8” (600mm) track
width with cambers wheel
and a 4” (100mm) seat height
make for seat of the pants
racing action. Sporting
a 16” rear wheel gives the
frame a much stiffer, precise
feel in cornering and powerful
straight line pedaling. The 16” wheels
also make for a lighter trike, with less
wheel inertia for a much faster take off.
����
The GTH hand
cranker is built just as tough as the rest of our
trikes. It has been designed to go just about anywhere. The GTH carved
its own neich into the hand cycle market by having the drive wheel at the
back. The steeper the terrain gets, the more grip you get. This makes it idea
for dirt roads and steeper, wetter terrain. To cover this, we fit our GTH with
a 54speed gear system as standard equipment giving a massive range of 9
- 74 gear inches. Our special handles have been designed to give no finger
interference with the axle, are width adjustable, and also offer a few different
positions to help break up the monotony on long rides. Particularly popular
are our tow hitch racks so that you can take your wheelchair with you.
16
The GTE Expedition trike is the choice for real expeditions. The GTE’s longer
wheelbase helps to accommodate large touring loads and the integrated
4 bag pannier rack means that you don’t need to leave anything behind.
Featuring a heavy duty frame and tandem rated wheels, along with our
standard 81sp touring drive-train, the GTE is ready for all your touring needs.
The GTU utility trike is our real work horse.
Available in a number of configurations like
no tray, tray only, tray and sides for a soft top,
or tray and sides for hard lockable lid, and
available in a number of different capacities.
The GTU has a good amount of advertising
space, making great for commercial ventures,
especially in an expanding eco-conscious
world. We fit the GTU with tandem size disc
brakes and any configuration of drive train and
17
it can also be used with electric assist.
��������������������
At Greenspeed we are never content to rest on
our laurels – we have a policy of continuous
research and development.
In 1993/3 Val Wright and Eric Butcher toured 15,000 kms right
around Australia, on our GTR trikes. In 1997/8 Jeff McLean, used our
1st model trike, the GRT 20/26 Tourer, built in 1991, to tour from
Vietnam, all the way through Asia and Europe to the UK. These epic
expeditions proved not only how comfortable our trikes
are over long distances, (Jeff AVERAGED 109 kms per
day) but also how reliable they are, due to our
outstanding engineering.
We then further developed these designs to
produce the gto, with its separating frame, and
the gt folding frame series, so that these trikes
could be easily transported, when necessary. In
2006 we designed an entirely new model, the Anura.
This machine extends cycling to people unable to ride other
types of bikes or trikes. Then this year, 2009, we have introduced
our 1st production velomobile, the Glyde. This machine is more
than TWICE as efficient as normal bikes.

Via this process customers and dealers
alike have had a ball ‘building’ the perfect
trike for themselves. If you’re the kind of
person who knows exactly what you want
in a trike or can visualize this ideal, then
you should really give this a go.
Just download the PDF order form from
our website (or phone us to request one)
and work your way through the myriad of
options available to you.

In between these major achievements, are many,
many improvements, all to numerous to mention.
Increasing use of stainless steel for most fittings.
Chiropractic re-design of our seats. Design and
development of the NSR steering geometry, the
scorcher tires, and power assist systems.
So while other trikes may look similar to ours, we
strongly advise anybody buying a trike to have a proper
road test on a number of different trikes, so that the differences in
comfort, performance, handling and quality can be appreciated.
Established in 2006 as an exciting
innovation in purchasing, our
3-step ordering process has
proved a great success among
trike aficionados!

In particular we suggest you should check out how comfortable
the machine is to ride and operate, and easy and natural the
machine steers and brakes at high speed. One should also make
sure that that all the accessories you need for everyday triking fit
well and work well. Triking should be a most enjoyable experience!
With this new concept you don’t need
to start by choosing a model. Instead
you go directly through the range of
options outlined for each of the various
components and features of a trike.
The options are explained, one by one,
throughout the order form. Who knows, by
the end of it you may have become a trike
expert yourself!
�
Choose a seat with the angle
with which you would be most
comfortable. Then choose your
frame style. These basically
determine the model of your trike.
Take your personal measurements
(as prescribed in the order form), and
then select an appropriate wheel size
and track width. Note that no 20”
wheels are available for folding trikes.
Nominate your preferred colors.
Then determine which components
and accessories will best serve your
intended uses.
You have now put together the
perfect trike for yourself!
This season we have added even more
options for parts and colors. Among these,
the most exciting new feature available
at the Custom Shop is the NSR steering
facility. This is the steering that has
bestowed on Greenspeed’s gt-series II its
reputation as the safest-handling trikes.

seatangle
One of the most important, albeit easy, things you must
determine is your preferred seat angle. Depending on
how far back you wish to recline, the curve of a seat
changes to afford your shoulders maximum support.
frame style
fixed
At Greenspeed we don’t use adjustable seats (except on
Anura); as in general, fixed seats are stronger and lighter.
Your options here are seats angled at either 30° or at 40°.
The 30°-angle seat means a faster seat, as you are more
streamlined and your weight is distributed more evenly
across the seat. The 40°-angle seat is generally more
popular for commuting and touring.
Frame style mostly relates to a trike’s transportability.
A fixed frame cannot be dismantled or taken apart. It
has a sleek integrated look and is lighter than other
options. The folding frame has a removable seat and the
rest of the frame folds into itself; this is ideal for quick
dismantling. The coupled frame, on the other hand,
has the removable seat but the frame actually splits in
half (as in the legendary ‘gto’), providing more packing
options.
This is a new dimension we offer options on. All our
models have been designed for inherent stability. If,
for example, a trike is narrower than usual at the front,
then for balance it would normally be either longer at
the back and/or lower to the ground.
Now that we offer different widths within a model
group, you can pick the one to suit your needs.
Either wide for touring, load carrying and extra- hard
cornering. Or narrow to facilitate transportability and
20 clearing of doorways, gates and bollards.

You can now find the NSR steering on the gt7, gto-16
and gtr-16 models available through the Custom Shop.
These combinations not only provide solid steering,
but also yield the advantages of 16” wheels, such as
strength, fast takeoff, lightness of weight and feel.
A frame’s ‘rider weight limit’ refers only to the rider’s
physical weight. You do not need to include your
luggage in this figure. Because the luggage is carried
over the rear wheel and transfers different stresses to
the frame, it is considered in a different manner to the
rider’s physical weight, and is only limited by the weight
rating of your rack.

wheels oll
r
Wheel size is linked to frame size, so your x-seam leg measurement
matters here. For the fixed and the coupled frames, you can choose
between 16” wheels or 20” wheels. The 16” wheels are strong, light,
fast and transfer less stress to your frame, whereas 20” wheels
advantage touring cyclists.
The selections listed in constructing the wheels constitute our most
expanded section yet. There is an exciting array of rims, spokes, even
colors for mixing and matching-- black spokes, colored nipples, or
how about having the rims powder-coated to match your frame?
Now that’s custom! Then round off your selections with quality tires
from the top manufacturers.
brakes
Choices here include the foolproof Sturmey Archer drums, the
Alligator ‘GatorBrake’ or, if you need more power, the Magura
BiG hydraulic disc brakes. In addition there are ride-on cables
available for drum brakes, and the lighter hollow axles and wavy
rotors for disc brakes.
Choosing disc brakes gives you the option of a Schmidt Dynamo
front hub which provides lighting without batteries, plus a
beautifully integrated look.
stop
drivego
For the rear wheel you can opt for a plain hub, a SRAM DualDrive
or an iMotion 9, a Shimano Nexus 8 or a Rohloff 14sp. You also get
a choice of different clusters or cogs. You can further get a boost
from electric assistance - check our website for the latest.
For the front of the trike you select the length of your cranks, and
whether you want one, two or three chain rings or prefer to tailor
your own set of rings. Of course, the ever popular Schlumpf drives
remain an option.

Those who wish to consider a further range of upgrades, will find
them in the order form.

For some, color is a main
consideration when making a
purchase. And why not? Color
reflects personality. It expresses
style, attitude, even aspiration.
Our powder coater applies this rare extra-hot
layer that creates a thicker coat of paint with
a tougher finish. So if the frame of your trike
does take a knock, the damage is more likely
to be a small dent than splintered paintwork.
Greenspeed have received compliments the
world over for this exceptional finish!
We have a rainbow of colours to choose from
in our classic colors. Different to all the colors
in this range, the super matt black is actually
a textured paint with a rough sandpaper-like
finish that reflects light from a wider surface
area, rendering it almost grey.
In the Crystal range, we use two types of
undercoat which shine through the translucent
topcoat. You may choose between the standard
metallic silver or the new gold. The metallic
undercoat effects a dualism of brilliance and
depth; the gold adds a touch of class.
Colors available on our seats are shown at far
right (facing page). The seats themselves are
fashioned from an exceedingly durable plasticcoated polyester mesh. It is one of the toughest
yet most breathable fabrics on the market. A
reflective ‘GS’ badge is sewn onto the top of the
seat for extra visibility.
(Please note that while all care has been taken
to faithfully reproduce our color ranges, we
cannot guarantee their accuracy as printed.)

Staying the leader in the design, development and manufacture
of trikes has, for Greenspeed, also meant making available
many accessories that amplify the usefulness of your trike and,
in so doing, expand your personal choices and horizons.
We test hundreds of products for their compatibility with our trikes, and we
work with leading manufacturers to enhance that compatibility. Here is a brief
rundown of some of our most practical accessories.
Our Accessory Posts (see photo a) easily mount onto the Kingpin assembly via a
clamp. Or alternatively, our Grab handles (b), which can facilitate getting on and
off the trike, can also act as a heavy duty version of the Accessory posts. Onto
these posts, you can attach such accessories as, Rearview mirrors (c) to improve
safety on the road, computer or our larger, GPS mounts (d) or our front fenders (e)
to stop dirt and water from the road getting on you.
Our headrest (f ), with its supporting tubes split at the centre, is fully adjustable—
upward, downward, fore and aft. Our tubular alloy rack (g) has a weight capacity
of 66 lbs (30 kgs); its cromoly counterpart can take 88lbs (40 kgs). A universal
rear light mount is standard on both racks. Our front light tag, integrated into
the derailluer post (h, left) can take most types of front lights which are simply
bolted into the eye at the end of the light tag. If you need to regularly swap a
light between vehicles just use one of our light mounts (h, center), this nifty 7/8”diameter mount can prove very handy indeed. They can be doubled for a wider
support (h, right).
Arkel offer the RT-40’s (i), that match perfectly for 16 or 20” wheels, and the RT-60’s
in recumbent style bags that were originally tailored for the gto. Burley boast a
huge range of trailers for different purposes, such as the Nomad (j). All our trikes
are fitted with dynamo mounts (k), however for the ultimate in reliable lighting,
we now offer the SON dynamo hubs, and Edelux headlights. All our trikes feature
rear light mounts on both seat rails (l) with our favorite being NiteRider lights.

FastBack Systems manufacture under-seat hydration systems with many pump
and toolbag attachments (m). Windwrap fashion windshield-style fairings (n)
and body socks for a variety of occasions. Sigma’s computers (o) have a speedy
response time-- ideal for use with small wheels. Greenspeed apparel includes
certain model-specific T-shirts and a range of caps (p). Recumbent jerseys and
knicks are available through ReverseGear.
Ask your dealer about our ‘accessory bundles’. We’ve packaged our top 4
accessories for gt or x-series trikes into one package. This is a great way to save
26 some money.
