| This is the first velomobile to ever be constructed from roto-molded HDPE (think kayak plastic). Underneath is a proven frame made from 4130 aircraft spec. chromoly that is similar to their Gizmo touring trike in geometry and handling, with a 27spd drivetrain and mechanical disc brakes. Velomobiles offer the rider protection from their environment, more visibility to other drivers, and can maintain a higher average speed due to clean aerodynamics. Until now the shells were hand-laid composite materials, and thus a little delicate for daily use, but that is no longer a concern with the Rotovelo. There is an onboard lighting system, mirror, a removable top hatch, built-in luggage space, and optional full coverage top if needed to make this a bike you can ride year round. | |||

| Originally released in 2002, the Gizmo distilled what Trisled had learned in trike design from the previous decade into a sport trike that still holds its own in the tadpole trike market. What differentiates the Gizmo is the lightweight separable steel frame, and incredibly comfortable carbon hardshell seat with a built-in head rest. The Gizmo can serve as a sporty daily commuter, or be packed up and taken to your favorite cycling destination for an extended touring expedition. | |||

about tri-sled
Inspired
We are driven to create high-quality practical and innovative human powered vehicles to suit a variety of everyday contexts. We aim to create products which are compatible with existing transport technologies and suit a wide variety of human capabilities and activities.
Human
Our vision is for a more cohesive and community-based society which is less dependent and focused on fossil fuels. Part of this vision includes playing a role in changing current cultures of transportation in Australia and globally.
Power
We are inspired to get the most out of human power. Each of our models is designed to achieve one or more of the following objectives:
- Improve rider well being and mobility
- Reduce dependence on fossil fuels through the design and application of HPV's in new contexts
- Demonstrate the speed potential and practical possibilities of human powered vehicles
- Improve the diversity and practical applications of human powered vehicles
- Encourage community interaction and support social networks through human powered transportation
