Compared to bulky cargo bikes imported from overseas, the STREEK Cargo Trike boasts a streamlined and compact frame. With an overall length of less than 1.9 meters (75 inches) and a width under 0.6 meters (24 inches), this trike fits into spaces where larger cargo bikes cannot. Its three-wheel design, featuring 18-inch front tires and 20-inch rear tires, allows for a generous central cargo area while maintaining a footprint similar to standard bicycles. The placement of the cargo area low near the vehicle’s center ensures minimal impact on balance, even when fully loaded. The STREEK Cargo Trike is built with a long wheelbase and a low center of gravity, offering excellent stability during active rides. This ensures a smooth and secure experience whether you’re navigating urban streets or country roads. A standout feature of the trike is its patented surround loop frame (design registration No. 1587263), which offers versatile storage solutions. Riders can either suspend luggage from the frame or load it onto the carrier. Smaller items can be stored on the upper part of the frame for quick access, while heavier, bulkier cargo can be placed on the lower carrier, making it suitable for a wide range of uses.
The trike’s modular frame design incorporates universal threaded attachment points, enabling endless customization possibilities. The lower frame comes with a detachable cargo carrier, and the center section includes an optional, adjustable luggage rack. This rack offers two height settings to accommodate items of different sizes. When closed, the rack supports bicycle panniers and other accessories. This thoughtful design ensures adaptability for everyday commutes or specialized tasks, such as hauling groceries or transporting tools. To enhance ride quality, the carbon fiber leaf suspension system absorbs shocks and maintains stability, even with heavy loads. The suspension system also features a self-supporting locking mechanism, which eliminates the need for a stand during loading and unloading. Additionally, the design allows for clear monitoring of the front wheels while riding, ensuring precise navigation over uneven terrain or around obstacles, even with a fully loaded trike.
At the heart of the STREEK Cargo Trike is the Shimano STEPS E-bike system, a globally renowned drive unit. The lightweight, compact E6180 motor delivers high performance while complying with Japanese regulations, providing a seamless and natural riding experience. Paired with a high-capacity Shimano battery, the trike is perfect for long rides, ensuring that you have both power and reliability when you need it most. The trike incorporates the Shimano STEPS Inter-5E internal gear system, designed specifically for E-bikes. This system excels in versatility, handling steep climbs as well as extended flat rides. For urban environments, the Multiuse model features the Di2 automatic shifting unit, which allows smooth, effortless transitions between gears, especially in stop-and-go traffic. The Start Mode ensures the trike resets to a designated gear after stops, such as at traffic lights, providing added convenience.
For connectivity, the trike includes a cycle computer with Bluetooth and ANT capabilities, linking Shimano’s electronic components to smartphones or external devices via the D-FLY network. This integration enhances the riding experience with real-time data and intuitive control, perfect for tech-savvy cyclists or professional users. Safety is a top priority with the STREEK Cargo Trike, featuring hydraulic disc brakes specifically designed for three-wheelers. These brakes provide exceptional stopping power and are paired with robust, high-rigidity 2.3mm-thick brake rotors. A convenient brake lock simplifies parking and stopping, ensuring the trike remains secure even on inclines or uneven surfaces.
