HASEBIKES. Ideas that revolutionize mobility.

In 1994, we began building bikes for maximum fun, comfort,

and flexibility. All we had then was our vision for a new

kind of mobility, thousands of ideas for specialized bikes,

and a lot of idealism. HASE has since grown into a well-

established company, headquartered in the historic

buildings of Zeche Waltrop. And success has only fueled

our motivation. With the KLIMAX series, one of our mobil -

ity dreams has come true:

protecting our climate while

creating the perfect climate

for the cyclist. With cycling

fun instead of frustration,

and function instead of bells

and whistles. The quality

remains exceptional.

3

I N T R O

And this high level of quality is

also guaranteed by our long -

standing partner EFBe, the test

laboratory located in the new

HASE hall, right across from the

HASE headquarters. As before,

all of our bikes and trikes must

pass its technical tests. In addi -

tion to the laboratory, the new

building houses our show room,

welding shop, and a storage area –

we simply needed more space

for our mobility ideas and their

implementation. When you look

at the 2012 product port folio

from our now more than 40-

strong HASE team, you’ll under-

stand: our vision for a new mobil -

ity is quickly becoming reality.

With the KLIMAX 5K, we covered

a lot of ground in the realization

of this vision – and riders will

also be covering a lot of ground:

with the 28 mph (45 km/h) fast

e-bike, environmentally friendly

mobility is now even possible for

the long-distance commuter. The

new KLIMAX still offers the same

comfortable microclimate under

the Fairing – no changes there.

HASE has also been hard at work

developing fun and high-tech

features for its smallest riders:

the TRETS now offers even more

flexibility. The fun-machine for

young trikers and child’s trailer

with pedal-power is now avail -

able as a jogging stroller, making

the TRETS even sportier than

before – or as sporty as jogger

or inliner moms and dads want it

to be.

You see: Marec Hase’s team of

developers have had another

busy year! And what better place

to photograph the results of

their work than in a city that has

been known for years as a melt-

ing pot of creativity: Berlin. In

terms of modern mobility,

Germany’s capital may have a few

things to learn from some of the

smaller cities, but the atmos -

phere of change permeating this

urban area is practically

unrivalled. So we headed east,

where a conference on new

mobility was being held at the

former Tempelhof airport during

the week of our shooting – we

were in the best of company!

Airport grounds, Eastside

Gallery, Potsdamer Platz: the

HASE crew had lots of fun in the

Berlin air – and, judging by the

photos, so did the Berliners.

By the way: in view of this year’s

international successes, it seems

HASE’s innovative mobility

concepts are on the right track:

its KLIMAX 2K swept the

awards circuit, taking home the

2010 Eurobike Green Award,

then – hardly a pedal rotation

later – the 2011 IF Product

Design Award in Gold and the

Red Dot Award for product

design. Mighty impressive, eh?

EDITORIAL Green mobility with turbo fun

Does environmentally conscious mobility have to be boring?

Should comfort be reserved for SUV drivers? And are the

people who think about our common future party poopers?

Nonsense. We live in exciting times: our mobility has to

change, and the sooner the better. And all of us can have an

influence on the way things develop. Let’s do a good job.

Even the very first LEPUS trikes

built by Marec Hase back in 1994

offered more than just practical

mobility: fun and comfort have

always been essentials for HASE-

BIKES. This might be one reason

for the edge we seem to have

over other companies working

on concepts for future mobility.

In an age when the very auto

industry responsible for the many

problems of our transportation

society, such as traffic gridlock,

pollution, and climate change, is

monopolizing terms such as

“green mobility” for its pseudo-

solutions, like its tentative steps

toward the development of elec-

tric cars, we always visualize

mobility in connection with

riding fun, comfort, and good

health. As we all know: it’s time

we change the way we get

around – not simply by trading

one car for another. Much more

far-reaching measures are called

for. We don’t need new cars: we

need new concepts and much

more sustainability. One such

concept: for short and medium

distances, switching to vehicles

that can be manufactured with

much less CO2 emissions and

operated practically pollutant-

free. Vehicles that can be easily

expanded, combined, or modified

and fulfill a very important

require ment: they make climate

protection something that’s not

only for heroes, but also for pleas -

ure-seekers. After all, people

who choose environmentally

friendly mobility shouldn’t have

to suffer for it – neither from

poor weather nor from impracti-

cal solutions. They should be free

to leave the gas-guzzler in the

garage and enjoy independent

mobility, fun riding dynamics – a

standard HASE feature – and

optimal com fort in any weather.

A vehicle that can offer all this,

even for longer distances, needs

a drive that adds environmentally

friendly assistance, like the

KLIMAX series. And to illustrate

how cycling fun can translate into

environmental protection, we

just have to do the math: for the

production of an electric car,

approx. 25 metric tons of CO2

are produced; then, over the

vehicle’s lifetime, it will produce

another 30 to 40 metric tons of

CO2 – while the lifetime emissions

associated with today’s passenger

cars total a whopping 70 metric

tons of CO2. The KLIMAX 2K,

in comparison, will only produce

a good 0.5 metric tons of CO2 in

its lifetime, including manufac -

turing and power consumption.

The HASEBIKES KLIMAX

concept is a project in progress:

every year, we take a few more

steps toward an alternative

mobility for everyone. The next

generation, due out in 2012, is

the year-round-comfort trike for

long-distance commuters: the

KLIMAX 5K. With a 500 W e-

motor that can be switched on

and off by hand, this trike is more

than just a speedier version of

the 2K: with the 5K, Marec Hase

developed a three-wheeled con-

cept subject to mandatory regis-

tration, with the same vehicle

safety regula tions as a moped,

including lighting and brake

systems. To accomplish this,

HASE sought the partnership of

other companies with experience

in alternative mobility – like

Philips, who is contributing the

headlight system for the 5K.

And nowadays, mobility begins

earlier than ever: the new TRETS

can accommodate a baby seat.

The trike – with its new set of

wheels – or the ingenious kid-

powered trailer, can now trans -

form into a zippy jogger: with or

without Fairing. The best part:

our e-mobility and comfort-

climate concepts are now avail -

able as retrofit kits, for almost all

models. Fun flexibility, HASE style.

Everything under control: with

the KLIMAX 5K, bad weather is

just a sideshow, and long com -

mutes are joy rides, even in the

city. The zippy riding dynamics

take care of the rest. Speed, bat-

tery-charge status, lighting

control, and other important

data are displayed on the info

console right in front of you.6

KLIMAX | 5 K More pedal power in sun or shower!

The 5 in “KLIMAX 5K” stands for more power : with its 500 watts,

the new commuter e-bike from HASE can effortlessly reach its

max. 28 mph (45 km/h). The e-trike for long distances is a

completely new concept: and assistance is independent of pedal-

ing. But it’s still sensational fun to zoom from A to B in any

weather, CO2-free in a comfort climate.

Houston, we have … no problem

whatsoever!

Our 5K-pilot Karim feels right at

home in the traffic at Potsdamer

Platz. This public square earned

its reputation as a center for

development and change back

the 1920s – and again today: a

perfect backdrop for the 5K, as a

symbol of new mobility. With an

“Ick-bin-ein-Berliner” attitude,

HASE sales rep Karim swims

through the wide lanes in his 5K,

laid back and speedy in the flow

of traffic. The 5K offers a better

view from the cockpit than a

convertible, where the windshield

posts get in the way. And it can

zip off from the stoplight faster

than some roadsters: the hub

motor in the front wheel puts

out full power right from the

start, controlled by a twist-grip

throttle – independent of your

own pedal power. Although

maybe the roadsters were just

too busy gaping in awe.

The awe-struck faces also

appeared on the grounds of the

former Tempelhof Airport when

we demonstrated the Fairing:

getting into the KLIMAX Fairing

is almost as elegant as with a

Gullwing – just that the 5K

“doorway” is nowhere near as

narrow. Simply open the safety

catch, lift the Fairing, take a seat,

re-latch, finished. And a good

minute is all it takes to go from

summer look to waterproof:

remove the Fairing from the

compact case behind the seat,

click it into the mount, unfold it,

and snap the sides into place. If

drizzle turns to downpour, the

Poncho can be snapped into the

fairing in seconds. And with the

Poncho, it’s just as easy to get in

and out of the seat. The special

zipper with extended edges7

KLIMAX | 5 K

KLIMAX | 5 K ensures that the rider stays warm

and dry from the neck down.

Both the frame and the Fairing

can be adjusted to fit the pilot.

And speaking of frame: the

KLIMAX’s chassis comes from

the cornering-whiz KETTWIESEL.

Its cornering genes were put to

the test on the former runway,

even at higher speeds. After an

experience like that, the phrase

“almost as good as flying” may

have to be reconsidered – after

all, the center of gravity is low,

and additional stability is added

by the low-mounted battery. This

clever power pack even recharges

when braking: with a touch of

the left brake lever, the so-called

“recuperation” system kicks in,

saving you not only power; the

high-tech motor brake also

reduces brake wear. But there’s

nothing else “conservative” about

the ultra-powerful Tektro Auriga

Twin hydraulic disc brakes on the

rear wheels, supported by a large

Avid BB7 disc up front.

The KLIMAX’s passive safety

system is also state-of-the-art: its

headlight, specially developed by

Philips for e-bikes, lights up the

Berlin night. And in the back, a

combination taillight/brake light

shines from the license plate.

License plate? In Germany, e-bikes

with 500 W motors are subject

to the same licensing laws as

mopeds. For KLIMAX owners,

this means about 70 euros per

year for the license plate –

including insurance! The impres-

sive speed and a range of about

25 miles (40 km) (at 50% leg

power) make the 5K the perfect

power-trike for commutes and

daily use. Start the day enjoying

the fresh morning air, and use the

trip home to clear your head,

incorporating your exercise rou-

tine if you’re in the mood. The

5K is the perfect ride, even if

your commute is longer than

12 miles (20 km). After all, the

lockable battery is quick and easy

to remove, and the 11.25 ampere

hours of capacity are restored in

just 2.5 hours of charging.

A true joy ride, no matter what

the weather.9

KLIMAX | 2 K Environmentally friendly travel

options are only feasible if people

can use them comfortably in any

weather. Like our KLIMAX 2K,

which has already earned several

prestigious awards: including

the Eurobike Green Award, the

IF Product Design Award in

Gold, and the Red Dot Award

for product design.

Electric tailwind and dry legs!

Finally: climate protection for the climate protector! Snap on

the fairing for a rainy ride to work; take it off again for the

ride home under blue skies. In the KLIMAX 2K, you can

master even hilly stretches sweat-free, thanks to its electric

tailwind. The KLIMAX takes cycling fun to a new dimension.

Riding fun, staying-dry fun, and CO2-reducing fun.

The concept: in bad weather, a

minute is all it takes to mount

the Fairing, unfold it, and hop

back into the dry cockpit. In

heavy rain and snow, there’s the

separate Rain Poncho. And from

below, the new splashguards keep

your pant legs dry – a “hand-me-

down” from big brother 5K. The

difference: little brother 2K is a

“pedelec”, a synthesis of human-

and machine-powered mobility.

The almost 200 W-strong

Protanium motor in the front

wheel pushes along as soon as –

and as long as – you pedal, up to

15 mph (25 km/h). This means:

the 2K keeps its bicycle status

(in Germany) – and you keep fit,

with no overexertion.

At the medium assistance level, a

full charge will take you about

31 miles (50 km). And the harder

you pedal, the further you’ll get.

Empty tank? Fill ‘er up at any

power outlet in about 4 hours.

The bottom line: your exertion

is cut in half for the same speed

– and twice as much fun. And to

top it off, with its KETTWIESEL

genes, the 2K doubles as a

cornering machine with ultra-

stiff 6061 T6 aluminum frame

and all its advantages: riding fun

and a sophisticated ergonomic

design with an 18” (46 cm) seat

height. Not to forget the

dependable primary drive: the

9-speed Tiagra rear derailleur

and your legs.

PINO | A L L R O U N D Pinology: the science of dual mobility

Family taxi, team touring bike, luxury limo – the PINO ALLROUND is the

most flexible tandem under the cycling sun. This also applies to its

transportability: the exceptionally stiff aluminum frame with oversized

tubes can be easily disassembled for transport.

And into the trunk, train, or airplane it goes: After all, tandemists are not

known for staying close to home.

A small piece of metal – a huge

piece freedom: the tube joint,

specially developed by Marec

Hase, can be released quickly and

easily for separating the PINO

frame into two parts for trans -

port. With a few additional steps

(e.g., removing the seat with a

quick release lever) the PINO is

reduced to luggage size in no

time at all. Flexibility in transport,

flexibility in use. And even a free

choice of seating: maybe you pre-

fer the captain’s seat, with an

eagle’s eye view of the road and

full control of the ship. Or rather

the comfortable, mesh passenger

seat with adjustable backrest,

where you can pedal – or

occasionally not pedal – in ultra-

ergonomic recumbent style.

Thanks to a second freewheel in

the drivetrain, the stoker in the

front can also just rest her legs

on the pedals and watch the hori-

zon draw near. Under her seat,

the Spinner suspension fork guar-

antees a smooth ride, even when

the road turns rough. The PINO

was also designed for the age of

communication: thanks to the

unique positioning of the two

seats, the tandem team can

converse as casually as if they

were chatting side-by-side on a

sofa. And when your little one’s

in front, he’s even within reach

for special on-board services, like

helping him get that ice cream off

his chin. With the optional

Children’s Crankset, kids as small

as approx. 3’3” (1 m) can become

PINO pilots: Run the little one to

school, then right on to your

shopping errands.

No problem at all: because the

PINO can also be navigated solo.

Even through the narrow, cobble-

stone streets of Copenhagen’s

beautiful “old town”.13

Anything goes: Berlin is diverse

and colorful, sometimes even

decadent. A spirit that can be

contagious. Kirsten and Karim

want to get from the train

station to Lake Müggelsee with

the PINO TOUR, but this time,

not on it. What could be easier

than disassembling the PINO

frame into its 43 x12 x 31”14

PINO | TO U R Two on Tour

A two-part frame that can carry two on tour? The PINO TOUR

does it all. Robust enough for adventurous expeditions,

with enough carrying capacity for all your supplies, and yet the

epitome of ergonomic design. The multitalented tandem is

larger than life, except when it comes to pack size. Sometimes

two halves make a whole … lot of fun.

(110 x 30 x 80 cm) pack size and

renting a convertible? No sooner

said than done, and off they go.

Something for even Berliners to

stare at. At the lake, the two

halves are reassembled into an

ultra-strong tandem that can han-

dle a whopping 143 lbs (65 kg) of

luggage. And this capacity can be

used to the limit: with big

panniers in the back on the low-

mounted Tubus carrier, plus four

lowrider panniers on the HASE

Lowrider Rack under the

comfortable recumbent seat.

And, thanks to the low center of

gravity, this pack-master handles

even more smoothly when

loaded. Of course the ultra-stiff

frame, with its sophisticated tube

joint, is another reason why the

two are as happy zooming

around the curvy lake path as the

fish in the water beside them.

The suspension fork adds even

more comfort to the seat, and

the generous adjustability of all

handles and seats guarantees that

every rider will feel like their

PINO was custom built, just for

them. The powerful hydraulic

Avid disc brakes ensure that

Karim keeps the laws of physics

under control at all times. And

with the SON hub dynamo and

the premium lighting system from

Busch & Müller, the duo is not

only visible for others – they also

enjoy a brightly lit path on their

night excursions.

PINO | C U S TO M East Side Story

Wishes can come true. Even better when everything turns out just

the way we wanted. Like with the PINO CUSTOM for Rosa and

her little Hannah. It fits them like a glove: from comfort – “great

suspension!” – to electric drive – “I’m hardly pedaling!” – and gear

system – “you can go faster, Mama!” Now that’s CUSTOM.

As project manager for Berlin-

based bike agency Velokonzept,

Rosa Rausch is no stranger to e-

mobility. This is why Rosa and

daughter Hannah are also so

excited to be zooming through

Berlin on their customized PINO

CUSTOM for our photo shoot –

and also for fun. On board: the

Bionx electric-assist motor. It

17

contributes up to 250 watts of

power in the rear wheel, as long

as the two ladies pedal. The juice

comes from the little box in the

frame triangle: a lithium-manganese

battery with almost 10 ampere

hours of capacity. That’s plenty

for a day’s worth of shopping for

our pair. The motor switches off

at 15 mph (25 km/h) – which

means that, in Germany, the

e-PINO is still legally considered

a bicycle and doesn’t require

moped licensing. Although

Hannah has been known to drive

her mom to much higher speeds.

After all, it’s comfy in the

adjustable recumbent seat – and

the view from the front row can

also be quite electrifying!

One of the reasons why the two

had so much fun on their tour to

Berlin’s East Side Gallery is the

additional Children’s Crankset. It

can be quickly adjusted to the leg

length of young pilots. The front

rider can also take a break from

pedaling – the Stronglight crank

bearing has an integrated free -

wheel mechanism, and even

Hannah’s energy has its limits.

Rosa’s got it pretty good, too: the

handlebar – which can be adjust-

ed in all three dimensions – is

especially comfortable, and, with

a set of Avid’s powerful yet precise

hydraulic disc brakes, the duo is

in good hands. When Rosa hops

into a shop in Prenzlberg, little

Hannah can wait comfort ably in

her seat: the Double Kickstand

can handle a whopping 220 lbs

(100 kg).

And after helping her mom pedal

through the city, an ice cream

really hits the spot. For Papa’s

long legs, the Children’s Crankset

can be dismounted lickety-split –

that is, if the girls ever let him

have a turn…

tours or daily commutes: SON’s

specially designed hub dynamo

for 20-inch wheels. Light and

smooth-rolling, powerful and

completely reliable in all weather

conditions. The eco-power

outlet for the road.

Suspension Fork I: What pothole? Be it cobblestones or potholes:

The Spinner Grind Suspension

Fork irons out the bumps –

meaning even more comfort,

especially for the partner in the

front seat. But beware: the extra

comfort makes it even harder to

call it a day.

Suspension Seat PostComfort for the captain: the

finely tuned Suspension Seat Post

from Airwings lets the boss

cruise smoothly over the most

uneven surfaces. The “overseer”,

after all, should also have a

comfortable seat.

Fairing: Great climate for stokersYou can’t leave a hardworking co-

pilot out in the rain. A few clicks

and snaps is all it takes to mount

the Fairing to the frame, and

keep the rain or drizzle off the

stoker. Getting in and out of the

seat is just as easy as always, and

the stocker can even enjoy the

Fairing’s rearview mirror. No

more rain? Then the Fairing folds

away almost as easily as an

umbrella and fits nicely into the

handy Fairing Bag. Another

argument: Even the captain will

stay dryer …

Suspension Fork II: Comfort de Luxe Comfort tuning: the fork’s 80 mm

of travel make any tour feel like a

glide. The ultra-light aluminum

Suspension Fork from White

Brothers is air damped and can

be finely tuned to the weight of

the riders.

Tubus Luggage RackNarrow, strong, lower lying: the

chromoly steel rack is ultra-stable

and can carry an impressive 88 lbs

(40kg) of luggage. The low

positioning of the rack stays

ensures a low center of gravity –

which means optimal stability and

handling, even when fully loaded.

PINO | AC C E S S O R I E S

Children’s CranksetThe Children’s Crankset can be

easily mounted to the front boom

and adjusted to your child’s leg

length with a quick-release mech-

anism. Just pull the chain around

the chainring, and it’s off to

school with a proud pedaler in

the front seat. Minimum height:

3’3” (100 cm)

Double KickstandDeveloped by HASE, loved by

touring cyclists everywhere. The

bicycle is braced for packing and

unpacking and absolutely

untippable, even when the front

passenger has the fidgets. Can

hold a total of 220 lbs (100 kg),

including “lively loads”.

Lowrider RackThe Lowrider Rack under the

recumbent seat carries two small

panniers on each side – which,

with the rear wheel rack, brings

the total capacity to 6 panniers!

And the low position of the load

between the axles means easy

handling. Nothing could be safer!

Power plus for Pinoists:Bionx electric assistThe Bionx kit turns your PINO

into a pedelec: 250 watts push

along when the team is pedaling

– at least up to the motor’s max-

imum speed of 15 mph (25 km/h),

and one charge will take you up

to 37 miles (60 km). You decide

how much assistance is provided.19

Rohloff Speedhub:A true paradigm shift14 speeds in one high-tech shell:

the Rohloff is indisputably the

best hub on the market: shifts

when stationary or under load,

extra-wide gear range, even gear

spacing, 100 % dirt and rain resis-

tant – always in noble black for

the HASE PINO.

Stefan Rogge is actually a photog-

rapher and comes from the Ruhr

region. And actually he never

rides a trike. For our shooting,

though, he took a spin on the

KETTWIESEL ALLROUND –

thanks to the quick-adjust frame,

he was in the pedals in a flash –

and zipping through the east of

Berlin. Past City Hall, down Karl-20

In the center of the action

One wheel in front, two behind, you in the middle – and fun

all around: the riding dynamics on the KETTWIESEL

ALLROUND make you want to zoom off and around the

next hair-pin turn. But there’s also way more relaxation

than on a two-wheeler : at the traffic light, your feet can rest

on the pedals, and you, on the comfy mesh seat.

KETTWIESEL | A L L R O U N D

Marx-Allee, and on and on. The

two make a good couple. He’s

also an all-rounder, doubling as a

weekend DJ in his adopted home,

Berlin. But wieseling can also be

a source of joy. No wonder: a

mere 18 inches (46 cm) below him,

the asphalt whizzes past. The low

center of gravity and the seat

position between the rear wheels

add up to perfect road-holding;

the low weight and race-bike

gear system from Shimano make

for strong acceleration, and the

KETTWIESEL geometry trans -

lates into adrenaline-pumping

corners. You can adjust the angle

and firmness of the mesh seat to

suite your style. And with the

cornering master, you can also

enjoy a leisurely cruise and take

in the pulsating city around you.

After all, the trike is designed for

intuitive riding: the rider’s hands

fall naturally onto the infinitely

adjustable under-seat handlebars,

gears are shifted just as naturally

with a twist shifter, and the Avid

disc-brake system on the rear

wheels stops the action with

force, whenever necessary. It

also has a parking-brake

mechanism – nobody wants their

Wiesel to run off without them.

Speaking of running off: the

ALLROUND even earns full

marks in transport. With the

Quickstick hubs by Marec Hase,

the rear wheels can be popped

off in a jiffy. Even smaller? In a

few more steps, any KETTWIESEL

can be made small enough for a

compact car.

Even Stefan’s doubts – “How is

this delta thing supposed to fit

into the basement compartment

of my East-Berlin, pre-fab apart -

ment house?” – were totally

dispelled: parked on end, it takes

up less space than a normal bike. 21

KETTWIESEL | TO U R Touring to the power of three

Leaning back. Enjoying the panorama. Resting in your seat. Relaxation in

your neck and shoulders. Long-distance adrenalin. Fully loaded with

no wobble. Downhill with gusto … a small glossary of key phrases on the

subject “Touring with the KETTWIESEL TOUR”. You’ll most likely be

adding your own terms in no time at all – probably after the very first ride.

And you’ll experience a whole new dimension of touring.

Trikes are transport wizards –

especially with the Luggage Bag

from HASE and Ortlieb on the

KETTWIESEL TOUR. This insa-

tiable 42-liter pannier, in attrac tive

white or black, hangs conve -

niently on the seat frame, making

it just as accessible as the trunk

of your car. The difference is, you

can’t unhook a trunk and take it

23

KETTWIESEL | TO U R

with you… For the long haul, just

add, for example, Ortlieb

panniers to the lowrider on the

front wheel: 25 liters of additional

luggage volume with no adverse

effects on handling and, of course,

totally waterproof. Relaxed, safe,

and with mammoth riding fun:

the KETTWIESEL TOUR will

expand your travel horizons. The

mesh seat becomes a panoramic

look-out point, and the comfort-

able under-seat handlebars,

joysticks for choosing your desti-

nation. With the Shimano Tiagra

27-speed derailleur and the Truva-

tiv Touro crankset, you’ll always

be able to find the right gear ratio,

no matter what the terrain. And

because, with the KETTWIESEL,

you may often find yourself

staying on the road much longer

than planned, we’ve included

Busch & Müller’s top-of-the-line

lighting system: the IQ Cyo Senso

Plus will light up the darkest for-

est paths, and the dependable

Flat Plus taillight comes with a

standlight – which also helps

when you’re digging for your keys

in the luggage bag at night. The

juice comes from the sophisti -

cated SON 20 R in the front

wheel. And for those who love

the crunch of loose gravel under

their wheels, HASE offers double

the drive: with the Differential,

both rear wheels are driven –

transforming the KETTWIESEL

into the jeep of trikes …

My style of Wiesel

“Three wheels – and leave the rest to me!” Be it tie or trike:

we need certain things to convey our style. The right look,

the optimal function. After all, individuality is an art in itself.

No problem, with the KETTWIESEL CUSTOM.

The inhabitants of Copenhagen’s trendy neighborhood

Christiania agree.

Along the colorful streets, where

punks once squat abandoned

houses and art is now a part of

everyday life, HASE design engi-

neer Dirk van Rijn test-rode the

“lifestyle factor” of the KETT -

coating is a given. HASE’s specially

designed Differential spins under

the seat, where the stiff tubing

arches over the sprocket. Traction

on any terrain. You just never

know where the road may take

you. And if you’re a wheelie fan,

you gotta have a diff: with a cool

set of wheels, there’s no better

way to show joy – or just show

off, as Dirk dutifully demonstrat-

ed on the bike-friendly streets of

Christiania. What goes up must

come down: simply apply the

brakes. With Avid Elixir 3

hydraulic two-piece calipers on

the rear wheels, you can slow the

action in small, homeopathic

doses or with full power. And

you’ll always have a soft landing

when coming back down to

earth: the optional Spinner

Grind 1 suspension fork irons out

even the bumpiest cobblestone

streets. At the request of numer-

ous customers, HASE has added

Marathon Plus tires to its

Speed DriveDouble your gears with the press

of a button: the Schlumpf Speed

Drive has earned cult status

among bike-tech freaks. Acti -

vated with a simple click of your

heel, the Speed Drive turns an

eight or nine speed gear system

into a fully tour-ready 16 or 18

speed transmission.

Gear Systems: The choice isthe hardest part For a custom-made bike or trike,

it’s you who decides the number

and range of gears for your

unique path and pace: replace the

front derailleur with a simple

chainring in the front – or would

you prefer three chainrings for a

wide range of gears? And in the

back: will it be the 9-speed

Shimano Tiagra? Or maybe you’re

the type who values main -

tenance-free, all-weather hub

gears? If so, you can choose

between the uncomplicated

8-speed Nexus and Rohloff ’s

ingenious all-round Speedhub

with 14 gears and a body built

specially for Hase.

Universal Coupling: Connecting people This multi-functional coupling will

attach as easily to your shopping

trailer as to the HASE TRETS or

a child trailer. And a trike tandem

can be created by attaching the

fork of a second KETTWIESEL.

Even Weber and BOB Yak

systems are welcome.

Luggage Bag: A miracle ofspaceThe insatiable 42-liter HASE Lug-

gage Bag from Ortlieb is available

in black or white. Just hang it

onto the mounts behind the seat-

back. The low center of gravity

will make your KETTWIESEL

even more solid in the curves.

Electric Motor: The Power PackFor long and hilly commutes or

just a little extra speed and

comfort: The Protanium motor

transforms the KETT WIESEL

into a trike hybrid. The 180 W

package on the front wheel pow-

ers along when you start

pedaling. Otherwise it travels –

incognito – in hub disguise.

Lowrider Rack Even more space for touring lug -

gage: our Lowrider Rack puts

more weight on the front wheel

without affecting the handling. The

advantage over standard lowrider

racks: plenty of clearance between

the panniers and the pedals! (Not

compatible with the carbon fork,

suspension forks, 16-inch forks.)

Differential: Power for two It’s the invention that made the

car possible: the differential. And

on the KETTWIESEL, it’s the

final ingredient for ultimate riding

fun, especially on loose gravel or

sand. Specially designed by Marec

Hase for the KETTWIESEL, the

Differential transfers the pedal

power to both rear wheels. It

shows its true colors on rough

terrain or muddy slopes, where

others skid out. And if you want

to do wheelies on the

KETTWIESEL, the Differential is

an absolute must.

Children’s Crankset: Me too! For children and adults under

5’1” (1.55 m), we recommend

using our Children’s Crankset

with 110 or 140 mm crank arms

(standard: 170 mm) for improved

ergonomics. This crankset

provides a reduced pedaling

radius for shorter legs.

Side Pouch 2.3 lThe perfect place for stowing

those small things you can’t live

without: keys, driver’s license,

business cards, and cell phones

easily fit in the cool pouch, which

fastens effortlessly to the fender.

The perfect transport solution

for short trips without luggage.

SON: Amps to go The light and smooth-rolling

SON 20 R is the most reliable

electricity source for bikes and

trikes. Constant power supply in

any weather, maintenance-free,

and durable. The best eco-power

for outdoors.

Foldable Fairing and RainPonchoRain? Bring it on! Well-stowed

and always on hand in its separate

bag, the Foldable Fairing can be

mounted in flash. And when driz-

zle turns to deluge, just pull out

the Rain Poncho: Attach it to the

Fairing, slip through, zip up the

collar – done! Cool look included!

Universal Mounting BracketInformation is everything, espe -

cially when the KETTWIESEL is

on tour. For logging speed and

distance, a bike computer of your

choice can be mounted to the

Wiesel frame. Also suitable for

GPS units and lights.

Comfort? Naturally!

Mellow mobility instead of speed. Laid-back legwork instead

of sore muscles. Our LEPUS is pure high-tech but easy

to handle, comfortable and above all: practical! Eric and his

green-thumbed daughters in the dreamy little town

of Dragør can vouch for how well transport, comfort, and

nature can go hand in hand …

And what has nature taught us? The

best solutions are often quite

simple, or even simply beautiful.

Like flowers on the roadside – or

a whole flower shop, like the one

here in the Danish town of

Dragør. Simplicity and practicality

are also the active ingredients of

the LEPUS drive: all eight gears in

a single hub, easy to shift with a

gentle twist. Another example of

HASE ingenuity: the suspension

swing arm that supports the rear

wheels makes the LEPUS feel like

a sedan. A top-quality air-sprung

suspension system takes the bite

out of nasty road shocks. The

stiffness of the shock absorber is

infinitely adjustable to your

weight and the type of terrain.

Riders with especially high stan d -

ards for comfort choose the

optional DT Swiss XM180 – and

float away on a pillow of air. The

seat height can be varied from 20

to 28 inches (50 –70 cm).

And the LEPUS luggage tray can

even handle an entire box of

flowers for Eric’s wife. Just as

practical: the substantial 49-liter

Ortlieb Luggage Bag for when,

instead of flowers, you’re hauling

the weekend groceries home.

The disc brake system even has a

separate parking brake

mechanism to keep the trike

from rolling off while you’re load-

ing it up.

For transport, the LEPUS can be

folded to fit into even compact

cars: the swing arm can be easily

folded forward; with folded seat,

the trike pack age measures a mere

22 x 33 x 42” (56 x 85 x107 cm).

And those who ride their LEPUS

on a daily basis can stay warm

and dry in any weather with the

new mobile Fairing, which can be

unfolded and clipped on in just

minutes.

LEPUS | C O M F O RT Some like it … comfy!

The LEPUS COMFORT is the all-around, feel-good trike for people

who place a high value on comfortable safety. People for whom

fun mobility does not include the fast and the furious. They roman-

ticize over cobblestone streets but don’t necessarily want to

bounce over them. And they know what difference a little angle in

the frame can make.

Ingrid Manthey-Sauer is never

happy about leaving her beloved

Ruhr region. Especially not for

the “wild east”. After all, she fled

East Germany as a child. But with

the prospect of meeting her long-

lost school friend, Elli, she tagged

along with the HASE shooting

LEPUS COMFORT. The old

friends could hardly contain their

excitement: “Wow, there, do you

remember …?” and “Gosh, this is

so nice!” For example, when

touring Berlin’s Museum Island.

And sometimes, this enthusiasm

was directed at the trikes on

which they comfortably explored

their old stomping grounds.

The comfort begins when you

first sit down: the angled boom –

together with the small, 16” wheel

up front – makes getting into the

seat a whole lot easier. With the

lowered position of the bottom

bracket, even pedaling is more

comfortable, especially for older

riders or riders with handicaps.

Add to that a dose of LEPUS-

style ergonomics: the seat height,

seatback angle, handlebar width,

and even handlebar angle are all

adjustable.

Comfort and enjoy ment go hand

in hand with safety – with the

LEPUS, a given: the LEPUS

COMFORT is designed for intu-

itive riding, thanks in part to the

hub gears. A gentle pressure from

your index finger is all it takes to

actuate the Tektro Auriga Twin

hydraulic disc brakes. And like

any LEPUS, the COMFORT is

also collapsible for easy

transport. But Ingrid wasn’t ready

to pack her LEPUS away so

soon. There were just so many

more places she and Elli wanted

to explore …31

For pacifiers and pedal-pushers

Kids are totally unpredictable – just the way they should be.

After all, they have to discover the world, in all its variety,

for themselves. This means: we should be flexible too – like

everything else in their exciting world. This is why we reinvented

the TRETS once again – and made it even more variable.

The little ones seem quite pleased …

Even babies are eager to explore

their world. No problem, with

the new TRETS: its new design

can accommodate an infant car -

rier or baby seat. Now passen -

gers from about one month of

age can begin their TRETS

careers! Robin takes in the world

with curious eyes. What he

doesn’t know yet: his comfy

TRETS

33

TRETS

TRETS will be with him for years

to come. And once he gets a bit

older and more active, it will all

be even more fun. For example,

when mama takes her morning

run, followed by her shopping

errands, surrogate dad Dirk von

Rijn takes him on a bike tour, or

the little pilot eventually takes

the wheel of his very own

trike. Too much at once? As every

parent knows, those years fly by…

When redesigning the TRETS,

we took special care in coming

up with the optimal Jogger and

Buggy. We accomplished it, in

part, by adding the smaller front

wheel and a new wheel-mounting

system for multiple uses. We also

added the practical footrest

to guarantee maximum protection

for the little legs dangling outside

the baby seat. On her run, mom

can now steer with the handlebar

that will later be used by the

young triker for tearing down the

same paths. This works as smooth

as silk – and with safety – thanks

to the new chassis. The front

wheel turns automatically in the

desired direction, somewhat like

the front wheels of a shopping

cart – but much more accurately.

And be it jogging or shopping,

mom can easily slow the momen-

tum with the levers of the

powerful Avid disc brakes at her

fingertips. In the meantime,

Robin is safely strapped in and

enjoying the ride. In the after -

34

TRETS noon, it’s down to the river Spree

with buddy, Dirk: front wheel off,

drawbar on – and in just a few

minutes, the TRETS has been

transformed into a trailer. In this

April weather, the handy Fairing

can be snapped on quickly. It can

also be used in Jogger mode.

Come rain or snow, Lisa is

always smiling, warm and cozy in

her own mini climate to-go. But

it’s not long before the young

passenger is ready for a little

more action. Then it’s time to

pedal along and show dad what

an outboard motor feels like!

With the 7-speed SRAM

derailleur that Lisa controls by

twist shifter directly beside the

seat, it’s easy to find just the right

gear. After all, it’s only right to

leave a little pedaling work for

the guy up front.

And then there’s the Trike –

Hannah made a whole trip yes -

terday on her own three wheels:

papa took the push bar out of

the jogger, mounted it to the

head tube, made a quick adjust -

ment for just the right handlebar

angle, and off she flew: this is

when the TRETS becomes the

little sister of cornering machine

KETTWIESEL. With the gear

system described above, Hannah

can even keep up with the big

ones. And safely, for there’s no

tipping over when she stops.

Hannah has also already

mastered the intuitive operation

of the disc brakes … and all the

fun she can have with them. For

it’s much more exciting to

captain your own ship: the

TRETS turns on a dime, the cor-

nering is whoooosh, and the

coolness factor can be gauged by

the faces of the on-looking kids.

For transport, the trike folds up

to packable size: just take off the

front wheel, handlebar ditto, and

fold down the seat – now the

TRETS is small enough to fit in

practically any trunk. The Fairing

can be folded up to umbrella size

in seconds for bringing along.

And that’s what Robin, Hannah,

Lisa, and Leon love most of all:

enjoying TRETS adventures, far,

far away!

Universal Coupling: Get hitched! With this Hase accessory you

can hitch up almost anything on

wheels: draw bars for the attach-

ment of quick-release hub axles

as well as the BOB Yak, the

Weber adapter, and of course the

KETTWIESEL and TRETS.

Practical parts for perfectionists

All of our bikes and trikes are built according to the same

concept: as specialized as necessary – as flexible as

possible. For highly sophisticated cyclists and special

applications, we also offer you a wide range of accessories

– like the HASE Universal Coupling for doubling the fun

with the KETTWIESEL tandem …

HASE | AC C E S S O R I E S

Hase Differential: Double the driveFor even better propulsion on

poor surfaces and the ultimate off-

road experience: HASE’s Differ -

ential for the KETTWIESEL or

LEPUS transfers the power to

both rear wheels. By the way, this

accessory is a must for wheelie-

fans …

Headrest: Stable backingCraving a little extra support?

The flexible Headrest makes

triking even more enjoyable.

Lean back during pit stops and

soak in some rays.

Lowrider Rack: Sweet and lowWhen the rear luggage bag is too

small or you want to ride with a

more evenly distributed load, the

Lowrider Rack is the perfect

solution for the LEPUS and

KETT WIESEL. Just click on a set

of standard Lowrider panniers

and off you go! (not pictured)

XXL: The extra portion! We offer XXL versions of many

HASE parts: for example a seat

with an extra 3 inches (7 cen -

timeters) of width for larger rid-

ers, as well as extensions for the

seat and seatback and XXL

handlebar grips. Just ask! (not

pictured)

Electric Drive: Tailwind de LuxeThe electric motor is suitable for

everyday use or can be switched

on for steep hills and longer

stretches. It can be used with all

HASE bikes and trikes and does

not require a permit to operate.

Simple controls, and all gear

system options remain. The

180-watt motor is extremely

quiet. High-quality lithium-ion

battery. The battery is easy to

remove but lockable for theft

protection. An empty battery can

be com pletely recharged in only

4m hours. Battery 24 V and 9 Ah,

500–700 charge cycles.

Weight: 15 lbs (7 kg). Not

compatible with hub dynamos.

B & M Mirror: For better hindsight! Tailgaters beware! Because look-

ing over your shoulder is no fun

on a recumbent: the rearview

mirror from Busch & Müller gives

you a wide view to the back

thanks to its special optics.

(not pictured)

Extra-long fenders:Extra dry legsNow it’s even more fun to ride the

KETTWIESEL in tandem – espe-

cially for the rear rider: with the

extended rear-wheel fenders, he’ll

stay clean and dry, even in wet

weather – and the KETTWIESEL

couple can plow through puddles

without needing a change of clothes.

SON Hub Dynamo: Eco-power to go Lightweight, smooth running, and

full power: with the new Hub

Dynamo for 20-inch wheels,

you’ll never run out of energy. In

any weather.

LEPUS Foldable Fairing:Comfort climate to goWith its portable climate protec-

tion, the LEPUS is an all-weather,

all-round, feel-good trike: when

rain is in the forecast, the Fairing

can be unpacked, unfolded, and

clipped on in less than two min -

utes. And if it’s a storm a brewin’,

simply add the integrated Poncho.

Bar End Shifters: Cool clicksA fingertip, and you’re in gear:

for all derailleur systems, we

offer Shimano Bar End Shifters

instead of twist shifters.

The ultimate in smooth shifting.

Our model Oliver Anthofer was

thrilled to accept our invitation

for a shooting session in Berlin –

a city the Austrian had never

visited. He especially enjoyed ped -

aling along in Berlin’s early

summer bicycle traffic. No

wonder: experienced handbikers

can ride the HANDBIKE, with

KETTWIESEL or LEPUS frame, 38

Being there is everything!

The more severe the physical limitations, the harder it is to

make mobility possible. But this is where it’s especially

important. The HASE HANDBIKE has mastered the balanc-

ing act: it’s flexible and therefore totally practical, but still

makes biking loads of fun! “Joie de vivre to go”, in more ways

than one!

HANDBIKE

just as fast as a standard trike.

And the engineering is hot off the

presses, as illustrated by the

model shown here. You can cus-

tomize your HANDBIKE from

the same set of components as,

for example, the KETTWIESEL

ALLROUND, meaning high-

quality hydraulic disc brakes, your

choice of derailleur or hub gears

from top manufacturers, and a

wide range of gears, which is

especially important for hand

drive. Although: in terms of power,

our handbiker has plenty to

spare. Back home, Oliver, who

has been paraplegic since an acci-

dent 20 years ago, loves nothing

more than cranking up and down

the Austrian mountain trails on

his HANDBIKE. For this, nothing

beats the optional 14-speed

Rohloff hub and – the optional

feature that turns this trike into

the only hand bike on the market

with real climbing skills – a Dif -

ferential, which drives both rear

wheels. It makes the mountains

barrier-free; which Oliver unfor-

tunately can’t say about Berlin’s

hotels and bars. And the HAND-

BIKE ergonomics can be adapted

to every rider – from the adjustable

crank handles and well-designed

leg supports to the moveable

steering column for easy mount-

ing and dismounting.

And for those who prefer an

extra dose of comfort: the LEPUS

HANDBIKE is suspended…39

TRIX Truly magical…TRIX!

Fun mobility is especially important for young people with

disabilities as well as children in physical therapy. Enthusiasm

fuels development! Our TRIX was designed for this very

purpose. Because fun-filled physical activity trains agility,

coordination, and much more. Possible side effects: smiles,

laughter, and – in some cases – uncontrollable giggling.

The TRIX takes kids to an excit-

ing new level of physical activ ity …

frustration free. Even the

youngest riders will have no prob-

lem shifting the 8-speed gear hub.

The TRIX is infinitely adjustable

and ergonomically designed to fit

kids of all shapes, sizes, and

special needs, be it disability or

rehabilitation. From leg-length

adjustment to adjustable under-

seat handlebars, and so much

more. The pedals have toe clips

and straps to keep the feet

secure so that the pilot can focus

her full attention on navigation

and, of course … fun. Even the

140 mm cranks and the small, 16”

front wheel are opti mized for

smaller riders. But the TRIX isn’t

just for small fry: anyone from

4’1” (1.25 m) to 6’3” (1.90 m) in

height can ride, and the trike has

been con structed with the

sturdiest heavyweights in mind:

an extremely robust frame, pow-

erful – yet very smooth – disc

brakes, and durable components.

The wheels have spoke guards to

protect children’s hands. And, for

transport, the rear wheels can be

quickly removed, thanks to

HASE’s own Quickstick hubs.

With no tools – or magic wand –

the TRIX can be transformed to

suitcase-size in a flash. Great for

parents: in Germany, the TRIX is

registered as a medical aid and is

therefore recognized by health

insurance companies!41

HASE | S P E C I A L AC C E S S O R I E S Specials for special riders

Sometimes a minor detail stands between us and our mobility:

for example, if your knee doesn’t bend far enough, then

a bicycle with standard equipment is useless. The range of

special accessories from HASEBIKES compensates for such

minor – or even major – differences, helping restore normal

mobility – be it rehab patients or people with handicaps.

Trailer Bar: Hitching a rideSimple name, fine piece of equip-

ment: the Trailer Bar turns any

bike into a KETTWIESEL-towing

machine – without sacrificing

safety: the integrated overrun

brake system works automatically.

43

HASE | S P E C I A L AC C E S S O R I E S

One-sided Leg SupportA comfortable solution for people

with paralysis on one side of the

body or a handicap. The healthy

leg can pedal while the other is

safely strapped into its own com -

fortable support. The infinitely

adjustable Leg Support mounts

behind the bottom bracket.

Armrest: Take a load offWhen the arm cannot support

its own weight, these

comfortable armrests ensure a

relaxed arm position.

Open AHEAD CapThe open AHEAD cap makes it

possible to attach any commer -

cially available bicycle stem to the

fork of a KETTWIESEL or

LEPUS. The stem can be used

for the attachment of grab

handles, push handles, and much

more.

Coaster BrakeWhen the legs are more mobile

than the hands, the coaster brake

ensures full braking power – with

high tech: pedaling backwards

transfers the leg power to a

hydraulic disc brake.

Single-hand ControlsA single grip with all control

elements! Using a special adapter,

two brake levers can be mounted

on one side. This allows the

rider to shift gears and control

both brake levers using a single

hand.

Brake CouplingFor people with reduced mobility

in one hand. The coupling con -

nects the two disc brakes with a

single brake lever. Precision

hydraulics and the ergonomic

design of the lever guarantee full

braking power and excellent

modulation, singlehandedly.

Fixed Gear HubThe trike becomes a fixie with a

single gear. With the Fixed Gear

Hub, the pedals of the

KETTWIESEL or TRETS remain

in motion as long as the trike is

moving. Especially sensible for

physical therapy patients and

people with limited mobility.

Handlebar ExtensionsPutting the steering unit within

reach: the KETTWIESEL and

LEPUS can be equipped with up

to 80cm handlebar extensions.

16” Front WheelMounting and pedaling is easier

with the lowered frame height.

HASE | S P E C I A L AC C E S S O R I E S

Crank ShortenerFor people with legs of different

lengths or restrictions in leg

mobility … but also for kids. The

pedals can be slid individually

along the crank for separate

adjustment, optimizing rehabilita-

tion training or allowing the

crank length to grow with your

child.

Special Steering / ShoulderSteering Unit Mobility for people with no arms

or short arms. The width of the

steering unit is fully adjustable.

A coaster brake is used for stop-

ping.

Freewheel Switch-offFor children in physical therapy, it

is often sensible to keep the

muscles moving over a longer

period of time. This is where our

Freewheel Switch-off comes in:

this little mechanism keeps those

little legs in motion. Simple

cause, major effect.

Turn Signal SystemEven more passive safety – and

not only for people with

handicaps. The battery-powered

Turn Signal System is operated

intuitively with the simple touch

of a button. And with its

inconspicuous looks, it blends

right in with the design of your

trike.

Safety Belts Shoulder belts and lap belts

gently secure riders with motor

disorders to the recumbent seat.

45

HASE | S P E C I A L AC C E S S O R I E S

Pendulum PedalThese pedals can help people with

severely limited mobility slowly

regain their flexibility and

strength. The trick: pedaling is

pos sible with very little bend to

the legs. The pedals can be

adjust ed to allow for more move-

ment as leg strength returns,

creating a beneficial training effect.

Pedals with Toe Clips andStrapsAs an alternative to clipless pedals

and shoes with cleats: these

Pedals hold the front portion of

the foot with a brace, guarantee-

ing the correct foot position,

while the elastic strap around the

heel prevents slipping. Also avail-

able in a children’s version.

Holder for Walking SticksJust place the walking sticks or

cane in the holder, secure them

with the clamp, and hit the road.

Multi- functional. Fits tubes

z”– 2n” (15 – 60 mm) in

diameter.

Seat or Seatback ExtensionMore space – more comfort.

This option gives you extra room

on the seat or seatback.

Special PedalsWith these pedals for people

with motor disorders, the feet

can be secured in the correct

position and prevented from

slipping. Precision positioning

pure. Also available in a children’s

version.

Special Pedals with Calf Support In addition to the secure

positioning of the foot on the

Special Pedal, the calf brace

provides stability for the lower

leg and the angle of the ankle.

Also available in a children’s

version.

The Extraschicht is THE festival

of the Ruhr region: exciting,

diverse, colorful – something for

everyone. The HASEBIKES head-

quarters is also a major venue.

Here, on the eclectic summer

nights of the festival, you can find

street theater, trike races,

culinary treats, and lightshows to

blow your mind.

HASEBIKES: Creating mobility … and more

Bike culture goes beyond bike building. Take the Extraschicht,

for example: each year, the Zeche Waltrop is a venue for

this, the largest festival in the Ruhr region with lots of culture

and culinary delights. The HASE buildings also host other

concerts and festivals throughout the year. Festivities, culture,

and even space for advertising.

Climate protection is cool! Especially when it comes in form-

fitting organic cotton. HASE

offers the perfect T-shirt to com-

plete “the look” and fit your atti-

tude ... if you dare. From the bold

and sassy Klimagipfel (“climate

summits”) and Reizklima

(“bracing/sexy climate”) for the

ladies … to the cool and classic

Trockenleger (“dry docker/’bent”)

and Rainman for the gents. Time

to work on that German

accent … and multiculti look.

HASE Buff: Warm can be so cool! Multifunctional, cool, and

immensely practical: The original

Buff scarf doubles as a cap, mask,

bandana, wristband and much

more. If you’ve never expe -

rienced a Buff, it’s time to try!

KETTWIESEL Ad BannerThe racing billboard: 21 ft2 (2 m2)

of space for your original logo on

three wheels. Mount it to the

KETTWIESEL in no time at all,

and your promo-Porsche is ready

to roll.

Printing for the Foldable FairingToo attractive and too con -

spicuous not to show off: now

you can order the KLIMAX Fold-

able Fairing with your own print-

ed advertising. Be it “IT trick -

stuff” or “Helen’s Hairdresser”:

in terms of billboards, the

KLIMAX is as classy as it gets.
