$7,495 HP Velotechnik Scorpion fs 26 S-Pedelec recumbent trike is environment-friendly and green

Getting around isn’t limited to gas-powered environment-choking vehicles anymore. Bicycles, motorcycles and tricycles seem to be quickly turning into a rage these days, with a lot of people swinging towards solitary modes of transport. Take the HP Velotechnik Scorpion fs 26 S-Pedelec for example. A speedy recumbent trike that recently won the Eurobike Award, this contraption comes with a large wheel at the back and two up front. Using a 27-speed Shimano XT drivetrain and an optional 500-watt BionX hub motor that powers the rear wheel, this trike packs a 48-volt Li-Mn battery that powers it all. Priced at $7,495, the HP Velotechnik Scorpion fs 26 S-Pedelec seems like the perfect way to get around in style, without choking the environment with harmful carbon emissions!
