The Allroadracer TriX is a preproduction electric recumbent trike featuring a unique telescoping carbon fiber frame. This design allows the vehicle to be adjusted to the rider's body size while housing the drive chain internally. Designed for stability and rough terrain, the TriX includes tilting front wheels and significant vertical suspension travel. It is powered by a 250-watt hub motor, offering a low-carbon alternative for specialized personal transport.

Carbon fiber is great for weight, but I wonder about the long term durability of a telescoping mechanism under constant vibration. Does the manufacturer provide a service interval for the boom adjustment?
Ten thousand euros for a preproduction batch is a steep entry point. Unless this significantly cuts down commute times or replaces a car for a specific user, the payback period on the efficiency gains is nonexistent.
Interesting to see the 250 watt limit. It looks like they are sticking to EU pedal-assist regulations to keep it classified as a bicycle rather than a moped, which simplifies the regulatory path for the user.
