EL TUCURA - THE GRASSHOPPER
A downhill bike for able-bodied MTB riders

The reason for launching this bike is to give wheelchair users, along with able-bodied MTB riders, the opportunity to enjoy the thrills of off-road downhill 4 wheel mountain bike riding, promoting it as an integrated sport nationwide. www.roughriderz.co.uk
* we reduced the weight by 60% * we do only have 3 wheels * we gave it a sitting position like on an usual bike * we do have a crank handle drive to ensure the riders will have both hands free for steering while accelerating * the steering is given by dislocating the balance point * we got three 180mm brake discs and a 250mm suspension * a secure system to lower and lift the seat to get on and off easily
