How the GET was created
Once upon a time one man was riding a pallet jack in an empty warehouse. After 3Mph fan ride all the excitment was analised and a powerfull seed thought was borne. It happend in a year when people were talking about Segway but nobody actually saw it.
With skyrocketing gas prices we started looking for ways to save on gas. The stylish three wheels vehicle was conceived as an alternative commute
solution.

The Interbike show 2009
First prototype
The very first prototype was an agly one with a few cool features such as a tiltable frame and a strictly vertical pedal movements. At the Interbike show in LV there was mixed reaction from the crowd: great concept but bad implementation. The trike drew a lot of attention from
the media and we decided to continue our jorney. Anyway a seafood buffet in our hotel was perfect and the show was great.
For the curiosity of our readers, we show here the first picture of the GET. After the show we have scrapped the whole design and extracted a lesson.

A magical transformation
It is very easy to turn the Segway into the GET. Riding the Segway is a balancing act. It is exactly what makes its cool and complicated at a same time. Two more things prevent Segway from being everywhere – high cost and the Segway’s legal status on a street. In simple terms the Segway is not welcome on a street. We are going to solve these three major issues in seven simple steps. Please follow these steps and you would probably agree with our engineers.
In step five adding a battery is a smart move. Flying above the
ground is a sensational filling and you need to try this once in a while. Forget about pedaling and experience pure continuous joy, you deserve it. |
In step six we want our transmission to be alive, so we need to add pedals.

The focus was on a compact, stable and environmentally friendly personal transportation models for city short distance commuters and on a fitness machine. The essence of the Trike’s design is simplicity, safety and reliability. It will be available with pedals for those who want to burn calories and with electric motors for commuters. This is a no-seated trike. Rider stepping in the upright position. We offer the solutions with our unique Stepper Tricycle, combining benefits of a stepping machine and a bicycle.
