Greenspeed’s Hit Debut All-New Magnum Trike, Anura Quad
Greenspeed’s new aluminum-framed Magnum recumbent trike had its world debut during the 2011 Recumbent Cycle-Con, and the Australian company also introduced a Quad version of the popular Anura during the show.

Greenspeed trikes have provided recumbent retailers with solid sales for many years, yet many dealers had asked for 20″ wheels, with a higher-and adjustable-seat, to allow easy entry and exit.


Working on the Greenspeed principal that three things are normally required for a proper fix, the front wheels were cambered to give extra stability without extra width, the cross member was “Ved” back to bring the seat closer to the standing rider’s legs, and finally the seat was made adjustable for height as well as recline. Thus if a rider lost weight through riding the trike, they would then be able to lower the seat, and gain the benefits of a lower center of gravity. Plus cambering the front wheels, using a stronger rim section, and increasing the spoke count, enabled the use of 20″ wheels without compromising the strength.

The Greenspeed Anura delta trike was designed for able bodied people. However because the machine is so easy to mount and dismount, many disabled riders have found it to be the answer to their prayers, and have found themselves riding again. The Anura is now available with a FOUR wheeled option: the Anura Quad. It also made its debut at the Recumbent Cycle Con. Source http://recumbentcyclecon.blogspot.com/

A variety of crank-arm lengths are available, as well as a large selection of chainrings. A belt drive version is also available. The Schlumpf drive systems can be fitted to recumbent tandem trikes, as well as conventional upright tandems.
