SC11 Folding Recumbent Trike – Founder Series
Adventure Without the Tradeoffs.
Take the scenic route, explore a little farther, and actually enjoy being out there. The Pickens SC11 — Founder Series is a premium folding recumbent trike meticulously designed around the human body. By combining supportive seating, relaxed ergonomics, rear suspension, and low climbing gears, the SC11 delivers ultimate comfort for local trail rides, scenic touring, and your next weekend getaway.
Settle Into a Better Ride
Adjust the seat back to find your preferred riding position. The ergonomic, ventilated cushion uses multi-density foam for support and breathable mesh to keep air moving. An included neck rest helps you settle in for longer outings.
Responsive Rear Suspension
Coil-spring rear suspension helps absorb bumps and soften uneven pavement, from local greenways to longer touring routes.
Low Gearing for Climbs
The 38/28T chainrings and wide-range 11–42T cassette give you low climbing gears so you can find a comfortable pedaling rhythm when the trail turns uphill.
Fold It. Take It. Explore.
A quick-fold hinge with a push-button locking pin makes packing up straightforward and entirely tool-free. The SC11 folds down to a compact 58″ × 30″ × 26″, making it easy to load into your vehicle for your next adventure.
Responsive Direct Steering
A direct connection to the front wheels gives you a responsive, connected feel through bends and turns.
Thoughtful Details, Included as Standard
Your SC11 arrives ready to ride. It comes fully equipped with a rear rack, rear fender, neck/headrest, dual-sided hybrid pedals, and a rear-facing flashing light to help you stay visible.
A dedicated rear parking brake keeps the trike securely stationary while you get in, get out, or park.
