Everything that's great about the Pino, with the addition of a hand-crank unit for the front rider! The crank unit swings on a pivot point to adjust the distance it reaches to the user, which also makes for easy transfer onto the seat when the cranks are pushed away from the seat. As with all Hase bikes, the gearing can be specified to meet the requirements of the rider. Pedals are also replaced with comfortable leg supports.
The Pino creates it's own class when it comes to tandems. The bike offers unprecedented comfort and an exhilarating ride, with the front rider taking a recumbent seating position whilst the rear rider handles the steering, brakes, and gearing. The geometry of the recumbent seat and saddle allows for a stronger sense of shared experience, as communication is effortless with both rider's heads being much closer than the conventional tandem. Both riders also gain the full atmosphere of the road and surroundings, with both riders being able to see where they are going.
The front boom extends and retracts on a quick release system, making the adjustment for different sized riders extremely quick. The Pino can also be converted to accommodated younger riders with the addition of Hase's children crankset, which sits on top of the boom and utilises a secondary freewheel to allow children to have breaks from pedalling. However, this can be removed with Hase's freewheel-fixer accessory, which is ideal for children or adults alike who are unable to pedal themselves, giving passive exercise or training with the hopes of them being able to pedal themselves in time.
Each Hase bike has an extensive range of options and accessories and therefore it is not possible for us to list a definitive price, however prices range from £4,800 to £7,165 according to specification. Prices shown exclude VAT although in many cases an exemption may apply. As a Hase Rehab Specialist, Quest 88 staff are trained to assess your needs and invite you to our Inclusive Cycling Hub for an assessment and test ride.
