Pickens SC11 - 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
A highly supportive seat and neck rest allow you to ride with your back fully supported and your shoulders and wrists relaxed. Multi-density foam provides lasting cushioning, while breathable mesh ventilation through the seat and backrest keeps air moving on warmer days.
Smooth Out the Road Ahead
From your favorite local greenways to unfamiliar touring routes, the coil-spring rear suspension softens bumps and uneven pavement, keeping your ride smooth and your body fatigue-free.
Climb with confidence and protect your joints. The 38/28T chainrings and wide-range 11–42T cassette provide exceptionally low gearing, allowing you to maintain a smooth, comfortable pedal cadence as the terrain shifts upward. By eliminating the need to push through heavy resistance, the SC11 takes the stress off your knees, letting you enjoy the ride longer.
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.
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.
