Allroadracer TriX Combines Carbon Fiber, Tilting Suspension and E-Bike Technology

Updated on June 02, 2026 • 4 min read

German startup Allroadracer has unveiled the TriX, a unique carbon fiber electric trike that blends recumbent cycling, advanced suspension and tilting-wheel technology into a lightweight off-road capable platform.

Currently in preproduction, the TriX was recently showcased at the Spezi International Special Bikes Show and is designed to offer a riding experience unlike conventional bicycles or trikes.

A carbon fiber chassis built around the rider

One of the most distinctive features of the TriX is its telescoping carbon fiber tube frame.

The boom-style carbon fiber structure houses the drivetrain internally and can extend to accommodate different rider sizes.

Additional frame components are manufactured from aluminum, while the carbon fiber tube serves as both a structural and functional element.

According to Allroadracer, the complete vehicle weighs approximately:

• 25 kg (55 lbs)

making it relatively lightweight for a fully suspended electric trike.

Tilting wheels improve cornering stability

The TriX uses a tilting front suspension system that allows the vehicle to lean into corners.

Key suspension specifications include:

• Up to 27° wheel tilt angle
• 260 mm independent front wheel travel
• 120 mm rear suspension travel

This design improves stability while maintaining traction on uneven surfaces.

Unlike traditional rigid trikes, the tilting mechanism allows the rider to experience a more bicycle-like cornering feel.

Electric assist powertrain

The current version uses:

• 250W mid-mounted hub motor
• 90 Nm torque output
• Enviolo AutomatiQ continuously variable transmission
• Internal chain routing

Battery options include:

• 500 Wh battery
• 800 Wh battery

Estimated riding range:

• 70 km (43.5 miles)
• 100 km (62 miles)

depending on battery configuration and riding conditions.

Future chainless drivetrain planned

Perhaps the most interesting future development is Allroadracer’s plan to introduce a chainless powertrain for international markets.

The concept would replace the traditional mechanical drivetrain with:

• Pedal generator system
• Wireless pedal-by-wire transmission
• Rear wheel hub motor

This approach would simplify shipping and assembly while reducing drivetrain maintenance requirements.

The concept follows a growing trend toward electronic drive systems already appearing in advanced e-bike platforms.

Editorial Perspective

The TriX is interesting not because it is another electric bicycle, but because it combines several emerging mobility trends into a single platform.

The project integrates:

• carbon fiber lightweight engineering
• suspension optimization
• electric mobility
• tilting vehicle dynamics
• future pedal-by-wire technology

For the composites industry, the carbon fiber boom structure demonstrates how advanced materials can be used not only for weight reduction but also as a multifunctional design element.

While the planned production run is limited to just 10 early-adopter units, the TriX reflects a broader movement toward highly specialized lightweight electric vehicles where composites, electronics and alternative drivetrains are increasingly converging.
