Threek: The Innovation
My dream came true
In 2002, a prototype was created from various individual parts - some of which were in poor condition - which was later given the name "Threek". The first test runs took place at airports, whereupon technical corrections were made.
I received the German patent with the number 10105703 back in 2003.
I successfully took part in rallies in 2004 and 2006. In 2005, I started to design a modern Threek together with the company RUKO in Metzingen.
Numerous further test drives at airports led to further adjustments and improvements. Finally, the Threek received official approval for road traffic on December 18, 2015.
With the know-how gained, a third Threek was to be created.
Lighter
Shorter
More modern
It should also Directly and without any familiarization time for every motorcyclist Immediately mobile be.
The steering works in every curve flawless - even if the wheel on the outside of the curve by 17 cm springs in.
This means that the Threek unique worldwide. A truly unique piece: the red Threek - since 1.1.2024 a exclusive collector's item, which, due to its Uniqueness cannot be approved for road use in the EU.
