PINO Advantages
ADVANTAGES ... TO THE POWER OF 2: THE PINO.
Every tandem is the same. Except when it isn’t - like the PINO. The PINO is a semi-recumbent tandem, which makes it multifunctional. The rear rider steers and shifts, while the front rider sits in an exceptionally comfortable recumbent seat. This principle of positioning the riders at two different heights offers a whole lot of advantages.
Great views
- PINO riders may not agree on everything... but they always share the same views. Unlike on a classic tandem, the rear rider on a PINO enjoys a panoramic view of the surroundings.
We need to talk
- And you can ... without even having to raise your voice. Thanks to the special seat positions on the PINO, it’s easy to prattle, plan, or philosophize.
Child at dawn, cargo at lunch
- The foldable PORTER BAG transforms the recumbent seat into a shopping bag with a capacity of 120 liters. The PORTER RACK can hold bulky and heavy cargo items – e. g. two beverage crates.
Out in front with special needs
- With its freewheel, seat expansions, special harnesses and adaptive pedals, the PINO can be a game changer for people with disabilities, in many cases making cycling possible for the first time.
Holds a lot of cargo
- With accessories like the Low Rider rack, which can carry up to four panniers under the front seat, the PINO is an ideal touring bike for both short and long excursions.
Freewheel in front
- Pedal whenever the spirit moves you. Otherwise, the front rider can chill, conk out, rest, nap ... or just forget to pedal because there’s so much exciting stuff to look at.
Comfier than any saddle
- Who needs a park bench? The ergonomic recumbent seat is so comfortable that it can also be used for relaxing in the shade.
Get into the seat comfortably
- The PINO rests safely and securely on its double kickstand, even when loaded. This makes it easy for the rear rider to help a front passenger get into and out of the seat.
The PINO grows with children
- The PINO can be infinitely adjusted to accommodate riders as tall as 6’7” (2 m) in height or – with the length-adjustable crank arms and an adapter – as small as 3’3” (1 m).
All packed up in five minutes
- In no time at all, the PINO can be made as small as a 29-inch mountain bike. Then it fits onto any standard rear-mounted car rack – and therefore also on almost any car.
