KMX Typhoon Recumbent Trike
Currently Unavailable
The KMX Typhoon is an entry-level sports trike that we LOVE. It's durable, it's fast, and a blast to ride. The Typhoon is quality AND performance at an unbeatable price. The handling is responsive, the KMX bucket seat is comfortable and adjustable, and the trike is a great platform for upgrades.
Versatility
The KMX Typhoon caters to a variety of riding styles. The pleasure cruisers will enjoy it just as much as the speed demons. It features an 8-speed cassette coupled with a 42-tooth chainring up front, a Shimano derailleur and a Microshift twist-grip shifter. The Typhoon is great for commuting, exercising, or riding around the neighborhood. The stock configuration will be adequate for most riders, but the more serious rider will likely want to upgrade the gearing for a wider gear range.
As innovation continues to drive the recumbent world, electric assist recumbents are in higher demand than ever before. Falco E-Motors is one of the most popular and reliable hub-motor systems on the market today and their patented 5-phase technology is a powerful option for KMX Karts. Choose between the 500W motor and 36V battery, or the 750W motor and 48V battery.
The Ecospeed motor transforms your recumbent trike into an ultra-efficient electric vehicle. Top speed is 20 mph without pedaling and over 30 mph with. The basic battery pack will give you 40-60 miles of range and you can add more batteries if you want to go farther. The chain-drive system allows the motor to use the gears, a huge advantage over hub-drive motors.
