Telescoping e-trike adapts to recumbent riders short or tall ( newatlas.com )

Germany's Hase Bikes is celebrating its 30th birthday by reinventing its first recumbent trike. The Kettwiesel One features Shimano pedal-assist, MacPherson suspension and the company's signature telescoping frame.

Looks great for ride-sharing

That is such a weird "headline feature" to be adaptable to different riders. I've never known someone who would regularly share or swap bikes with someone where this is needed. I need my bike to fit me. I buy adoringly and set it up once. I then never touch saddle height, handlebar position and whatever else is adjustable ever again.

If it brings production costs down for having less variants or sizes, sure. But who needs this as a feature so desperately that it's one of 3 l features even mentioned in this post (except for it being a trike in the first place, I guess).

Not even all that unusual a feature for trikes, but I get the appeal: It's for lending it out and making it more compact for storage or transport. Being adjustable also ensures a good fit.

Looks fun but I can't afford it. That trike costs more than my first car.

Price aside, I'd only ride a reverse trike
