For people with balance problems is the ScooterTrike
a solution that does not surrender style and good looks for
function. It is a perfect city and shopping trike that enables
people to stay mobile longer and to participate in everyday
activities, which would not be possible on two wheels. All this
plus the biggest feature: It looks better than any other Tricycle
in the world !
It's comfortable. It's stable. It's practical. And it's stylish.
If you had to specify what was most important in designing a
bicycle to get more people out of cars and onto bikes, presumably
your shortlist would look much like this. The ScooterTrike fits
all these criteria.
This is the new ScooterTrike
from USED.

Trade shows
Ok here's the plan for 2005. USED will showing the ScooterBike at the following shows:
The Fahrrad.Markt.Zukunft. in Bremen and in Karlsruhe. They are the first big shows of the year in Germany and it will be interesting to see how dealers and customers will take to the ScooterBike.
This will be the fourth trade show appearence for the ScooterBike after the Eurobike, IFMA in Germany and the Interbike show in Las Vegas.
ScooterBike was shown at the Eurobike on the Ortlieb booth, and of course on the USED booth.
The ScooterBikes were also the hit of the IFMA in Cologne. This bike has a big future or as Giant puts it - "this is the next dynamic trend in cycling"!

Artland Dragons - in the Bundesliga!
The professional Basketball team the Artland Dragons, are our local matadors. The team has just won promotion to the National German first division. The team was unbeaten for 30 games an won the second division by a mile!
Coach Chris Fleming is a big bike fan and we're trying to get him on a ScooterBike soon. You'll see it here first.
And it's not a joke or a printing error - the Artland Dragons point-guard is Michael Jordan !
No, not "his Airness" but a great ex-college player that scores a lot of hoops.
One ex-player Demekssa Duresso has also been helping us do this web-site as part of his practical training and since then his 3-point shooting has got better and better...... He's gone back to Hamburg now and we're missing him a lot !
