The Victorian Futurist’s Electric Cycle
This is the electric tricycle made in England that evokes the spaceflight-inspired fantasy of H.G. Wells and Jules Verne with a rocket-shaped nosecone that forms its passenger section.
Built with a lightweight aluminum girder chassis frame that supports up to 540 lbs., the tricycle ensconces passengers—either four children or one adult—in the front compartment’s two Italian leather-upholstered reclining, removable, and safety harness-equipped bench seats. The interior of the forward nose cone stores a day’s picnic or helmets—terrestrial or astronautical. Made with the finest components, the tricycle accommodates a pedaler comfortably with a Brooks leather spring saddle, rolls smoothly on Schwalbe Kevlar-reinforced tires, and stops confidently with Tektro front and rear hydraulic disc brakes.
