Tricycle

Fast on the curve

This tricycle is especially fast on the curve: the front wheels are not connected by one axle, so they can be independently moved and tilted. This design was first used to deal with problems of clearance and friction. With iglidur® G plain bearings, however, these problems were eliminated. Also, dirt and other adverse environmental factors do not affect the function of the plain bearings.
