BICYCLES


We put the fun in function. Torker Bicycles has been paying attention. We've been watching how you ride. Watching those who are cycling as an alternative means of transportation. Taking note of those of you who are biking around neighborhoods, and blazing the bike path to work every day. And studying those families at parks who only get out on the weekends. Which is why Torker has created bikes for the "average" rider. The biker who refuses to put on spandex or clipless shoes. The biker who doesn't want to spend a good share of their savings on the lightest weight bike out there. We've made bikes with big, cushy seats that make biking comfortable. We've made bikes that can carry more than just yourself and an air pump. We've made bikes that can haul; in more ways than one. Best of all, Torker makes functional bikes that are fun to ride. Which is why we say at Torker - we put the fun in function.

“My Torker U-District is awesome! After a whole lot of searching, I ordered my U-District without ever having ridden one or seeing one I could not be happier with my decision. The staff at the bike shop was totally impressed with the bike, and the owner said he was impressed with the price point and quality. Beautiful paint job and clean graphics. One of my friends said, “Hey nice bike...wait a minute, I have a unicycle made by Torker!” I commute to work every day on my U-District. Round trip it’s only about 5 miles. One day, while I was riding to work in the rain (with a poncho on), somebody started yelling the Batman TV theme at me as my poncho flapped behind me. How cool is that - if Batman rode a bike it would be a Torker! I was very surprised my U-District came with a great chain guard, although my favorite features are the straight handlebars and Alex rims. Riding around New Orleans is always an adventure. I’ve run across second line parades and Mardi Gras Indians while riding my bike. Where else is that gonna happen?” -James Wilson New Orleans, LA

Why I love my Torker Cargo T. “My Torker Cargo T is like a luxury vehicle on two wheels. I love the geometry, saddle, bike handling, and classic stylings. I really enjoy the fact that my Cargo T isn’t like any other bikes out there. The appearance of the bike is so unique that it literally stands out from all the rest. I love the load bearing capacity and have used the bike to replace my Xtracycle. Though the green one was available, I preferred the dark grey. It says “classy” to me. The decals are very subtle, no obnoxious logos or loud lettering. I ride my Torker Cargo T whenever I have to run errands, it’s my utility bike that took the place of another. I use it for grocery shopping, taking my kids to school or going to the park. Prior to my Cargo T, my Xtracycle was my main bike, now that I ride the Torker, that old bike is litterally in pieces in my garage, ready to be sold. I like the sturdy racks, I can load up on some of the biggest items that I need to haul, I also like the dual kick stand. Love that thing! Couple that with the locking steerer, then you’ve got a match made in heaven. I posted it on BikeCommuters.com, but I rode the Cargo T on some mountain biking trails to show our readers that this bike is VERY durable. The Torker handled very well and even on rough terrain, its still a comfy ride.”

Big T

This is the perfect bike for an industrial fleet, to get workers and materials from point A to jobsite B. The Torker Big T is beefed–up in every detail possible, to provide you with the ultimate heavy duty and reliable work bike.

Urban Life Why I like my Torker Big T. “Down here at the plant we need to move mechanics and their tools around quickly and efficiently. Torker’s Big T does the job. I’d have to say the wide, springy saddle and the upright handlebars make the bike comfortable and easy to ride around the plant. Since we can’t afford any down time, we appreciate the lack of flat tires we get with the heavy duty wheels and larger tires. Our fleet of Torkers are easy to maintain and we rely on them every day. I’d safely say the Big T is just one more tool we depend on to get the job done!” Hank Clark San Antonio, TX

Tristar

Torker’s Tristar adult-tricycle is stable, and easy to get on ...or off. The fact that it is so easy to use, has made this three wheeler the leading brand of adult trikes in the U.S.. The rear basket is large enough to hold up to six shopping bags; making it a great fuel-saving grocery getter. Its lightweight alloy wheels & the large dual spring saddle are all standard equipment. Available in either a single speed or three speed, both with a quality Shimano coaster brake.

Key Features of the T400E/T450E

Electric Hybrid

HOW FAST DOES IT GO?

18

MPH

Hybrid – Functional

Our electric bicycle line is totally hybrid-functional. You can begin by pedaling our bikes as you would a traditional bike but as you reach a certain speed (approximately 4 -5 mph) the Protanium® system assists your pedaling and gives you the sensation of the wind at your back. Or simply initiate pedaling and hold the throttle down to power up the road to speeds up to 18mph (environmentally influenced). We took a different approach to electric bikes, not trying to reproduce a moped, but keep a bicycle-like look and ride but with the power to extend your range and adventures! When not riding under electric power, unlike most of the competition, there is very little motor drag, as the Protanium® hub motor silently freewheels maintaining a great bicycling experience.

Easy Wheel Change

The Protanium® wheel change system enables removal of your front wheel for flat repair or bike transport. A common adjustable wrench and screwdriver is all you need, much like servicing any front wheel with axle nuts. Wiring is quick disconnect and kept to a minimum to make removing and installing your motorized wheel a breeze.

HOW FAR CAN YOU GO ON A CHARGE?

25-40

UP TO

WHAT IS THE CHARGE TIME?

5

HOURS

MILES

Longer Range

Fast Charge

Equipped with the latest innovations in battery and motor technology. The Protanium® ELI battery (patent pending) is one of the lightest and most durable on the market. A single charge will take you approximately 25 miles of power assisted riding (Actual distance will vary depending on riding conditions and rider weight.).

The battery recharges in less than five hours, has two- to five-times the service life of competitive technologies, and provides consistent full power to the motor until the point when the Protanium battery management system shuts down the power to protect the battery from over discharging.

Plug ‘n’ Drive

Light Weight

The Protanium® ELI battery is easily removed for recharging with our Protanium Plug ‘n’ Drive System. There are no wires complicating the process of engaging and disengaging the electric system.. When recharging the battery, simply disengage the battery pack from the rack and plug it into the wall using the Protanium recharger. Once recharged, simply reengage the battery in the rack, lock it into place and off you go, it is that easy.

Our bikes are very lightweight, setting a new benchmark for electric bikes. The Protanium® electric system utilizes the latest technology in lithium polymer batteries and brushless high efficiency motors. The complete Protanium electrical drive system including motor, battery, controller and wiring is less than 16 pounds, lighter than some competitor’s battery alone! This makes for a complete electric bike at less than 50 lbs – far less than other models on the market that may be as much as 90 lbs!

The Protanium DC Brushless Hub Motor

The core of the system is the Protanium® motor. The Protanium hub motor is light, small, powerful, durable, quiet and efficient.The brushless design means there are no mechanical contact points (brushes) to cause drag, internal contaminating dust or wearable parts to be replaced. The brushless design uses “pulses” of electricity sent from the battery to create power. These pulses are triggered by the motor controller located next to the Protanium® ELI battery box. The Controller is like the fuel injection system in a car metering out just the right amount of power efficiently at the right time based on rider input and road conditions (wind, terrain, speed etc.) The internally geared motor is smaller and provides more torque than other common designs.When there is no added power desired by the rider or when bike speed exceeds the motor allowed speed, the hub simply spins silently with very little added drag. The high efficiency output of the Protanium® motor adds just the right amount of power when needed Since 20% or more of the battery drain happens when a rider starts from a dead stop, the automatic pedal assist feature kicks in the motor once the rider has reached 3-4 mph extending the overall range significantly. The motor will automatically cuts out when the front brake is applied.

The Protanium Battery Pack

The Protanium ELI Power Pack contains the latest battery technology beyond Lithium Ion, Lithium Polymer, and is one of the few LiPo systems available in a bike. Why is this better? The Protanium 29.4-volt 10 Amp-Hour Lithium Polymer (LiPo) battery is about 5 times the power to weight ratio (specific energy) as Lead Acid, 4 times Nickel Cadmium, 2.5 times Nickel Metal Hydride or 1.4 times the power to weight ratio of lithium Ion. This means more power for the same weight or the same power in a much smaller space or a combination of increased power and less weight. Also when comparing other technologies, one must also look at the environmental impact of the battery.

16

torkerusa.com

When correctly controlled Lithium Polymer discharges at a more consistent voltage than other battery technologies, the power output is more predictable. Also, recharging is much faster. At less than 5 hours, recharging the battery is accomplished in less than half the time of other battery types. Battery care is similar to a laptop computer, store the Protanium battery between 32 and 140 degrees and charge it up at least once every 2 months or when there are 2 lights or less showing on the Protanium battery meter. Because the Protanium battery recharges so quickly, there is no need to leave the battery plugged into the charger for extended periods of time. The key is to maintain activity with the battery in order to preserve the battery life. Lithium Polymer batteries can have as many as 3 times the service life of other types of batteries so ride often! Lithium Polymer is not based on a liquid solvent like Lithium Ion and other technologies so it doesn’t need to be contained in a heavy metal shell. The gumlike substance is also far safer than Lithium Ion since it is not a flammable liquid. It can also take on various shapes and be made very compact. You may even have a Lithium Polymer battery in your pocket now if you have a recently produced cell phone. The Protanium® Lithium Polymer Power Pack is lighter, smaller, safer, and more reliable than most other battery packs.

Motor Specification:

24V Brushless 180 watt continuous power, 250 peak power, internally geared.

Battery Specifications:

24V Lithium Polymer construction, 10 amp hr capacity, 5 hour charge time.


T400 E Hybrid

A comfortable upright riding position coupled with our electric assist system allows you, the rider, to go faster and farther with less effort and fatigue. Torker’s proven electric assist system enables you to travel up to 40 miles on a single charge at power-assisted speeds of up to 18 mph. Inside the front hub is the 90% efficient; brushless gear-driven motor, which is powered by a state of the art battery on the rear rack. By utilizing lithium polymer technology, this poweredby-Protanium system provides 10AH of electricity with only a five hour charge time. Weighing less than 16 pounds, this lightweight system is engineered to perform to the highest standards for years of trouble free service. Also available in a step-thru version.

NEW!

If the 400e is Torker’s “everyday driver,” then the all new, heavily-upgraded T-450e is the Cadillac of all hybrid bikes. The first major upgrade was done to the alloy frame; utilizing a special extruded tubing to hide all of the electric cables. A smooth looking integrated headtube compliments this clean looking bike, along with a 2-tone paint job. Another enhancement to the 450e is the Sturmey-Archer internal 5-speed rear hub, which is easily shifted by a twist of the right grip. The Sturmey-Archer name has long been known for their technologically advanced, low maintainence internal hub systems, and the X-RD5 is one of the best in the industry. Of course, the powerplant for this machine evolves around the Protanium front hub. After a single rotation of the crank, the electric-assist will come on automatically to bring you up to speed. For an additional electric boost, all the rider needs to do is press down on the power-lever with their left thumb. Once you feel the added power and hear the buzzz of your front hub helping speed you up effortlessly, you’ll be convinced that the 450e is the ultimate in pedalelectric bicycles.

rechargable battery grocery getter three wheeler Electric Hybrid “Have you ever tried lugging 4 bags of heavy groceries from the store, walking? I did once. Our local supermarket is ony two blocks away. An easy distance for walking there. But coming back, I soon discovered, armed with groceries, it was a whole different story. Living so close to the store and shopping so often, I felt guilty driving that short trip those few times each week. So then one night, we saw this adult three wheeler sitting on display out front of a local bike shop. And it hit me instantly. One week later, it was in our garage and it has become our grocery getter. Literarally. I’ve found that it will carry four paper bags or up to six if you chose plastic. The best part is when the bagboy asks if I need help taking my cart load of groceries to my car. “Of course!,” I tell him everytime. And then to see the look on his face when I walk up to my Torker TriStar trike and have him load it up. It’s priceless.”

Tristar Hybrid

Torker’s latest edition of their popular adult 3-wheeler is now available as an electric assisted model. The added power to your pedaling comes from a highly efficient battery-powered Protanium front hub. The Protanium hub is powered by a lightweight Lithium Ion battery, which is attached under the rear basket of the TriStar. For charging, the battery easily slips in and out and plugs in to any outlet. Electrical assistance can be used for up to 25-40 miles (depending on rider weight and degree of terrain being ridden). Ideal for elderly or disabled riders who still wish to ride.

“My friends and I all have cruiser bikes here in Huntington Beach. On Saturday we cruise the strand (bikepath) between the pier and Jenni’s house. For us, it is the best way to get around ... until Jenni gets her driver’s license. LOL. I like the whitewall tires and color of my Torker Boardwalk. My favorite story about my bike is the time we rode down to meet some OC boys at Newport Beach, and all of us rode the bike path into Irvine. It was the longest ride I had ever done and we had such a great time. :) My Torker bike gives me freedom to be out on my own with my friends, and my Mom is cool with it.” Rebecca Cumberland Huntington Beach, CA

Bermuda Tandem

Two people becoming one on two wheels. Torker’s Bermuda tandem is all about sharing fun and togetherness. Rolling along, close enough to carry on a conversation, in an upright and comfortable position. The Shimano 7 speed shifters provide a great range of gears for going up and down most any terrain, while the linear pull brakes give you control to stop gradually or abruptly if needed.

Why riding my tandem is fun.

Boardwalk

“My Torker Tandem is a big part of our ‘date nights.’ On Friday nights when we don’t have the kids, my husband and I love to hit the Burke-Gilman trail and go on a short three mile ride to Red Hook Brewery for dinner. Before we got the Bermuda tandem, I could never keep up with him riding down the bike trail. Soon as we’d get passed by a cyclist, his pace would pick up and before I knew it, I’d be left behind about a quarter mile back. So he got me the tandem for Christmas, and ever since then I’ve been right behind him on our rides. We can carry on conversations, get our exercise together and enjoy the ride and time spent together. A neat thing about our bike is that no matter where we ride, we get compliments. Whether we’re on the bike trail or at the campgrounds, people always comment on how much fun it looks and how they’d love to get one. For me, the most important part is the seat. It’s big and springy - not thin and hard like most bike saddles, and us women appreciate some cushion.” -Lynn & Joseph Barre Redmond, WA

“My dad has a really cool mountain bike. It has shocks all over it and for my Birthday one year, I got my first mountain bike. It’s an Alpental. It also has shocks on the forks and big tires for riding on the dirt. Sometimes, my dad take me out mountain biking and we go to this really fun trail that he calls “Devil’s Canyon.” I’m not sure what it is really named. But it has lots of loops, and hills and downhill sections, with lots of rocks. One time I got a flat tire and had to walk my bike all the way back to the car. So now we carry extra inner tubes, tools and a small pump with us.

Why the DX is perfect for me. “My Torker unicycle is bulletproof. I beat it and pound it and it still keeps rolling from each and every drop/gap I give it. I have been riding both my 20” and 24” for two years and haven’t had to true the rims yet. I do consistent 5+ foot drops with mine, just recently cleared an 8 stair and had no problems. Gotta love the strength of the DX. I am really loving the all black look of the brand new Torker DX. It is AWESOME looking, the graphics look really cool as well. I am a huge fan of the brand new saddle and cranks of the new DX. The cranks are awesome with the new ISIS taper outward for better crank grabs and flatland tricks.
