Bambuk Electric Recumbent Tandem Tricycle
Designed and manufactured to a high standard by a family company based in Bühl, Germany. The Bambuk e-tandem tricycle is well-equipped with carefully chosen, high-specification components. It’s extremely comfortable, very adjustable, endlessly customisable… and loads of fun!
Our customers love the way the frame can be shortened to make the tandem easy to store and transport. We like the way the bike can be custom-built to suit a very wide range of abilities.

Who is this cycle for?
The Bambuk electric tandem tricycle is designed for two riders who want to cycle together, with the added stability and comfort of a three-wheel design.
It can be a great option for couples, family members, friends or support workers who want to share the cycling experience. The tandem layout allows both riders to take part in the journey, while the supportive seating and electric assist help make longer rides more manageable.
How does it feel to ride?
The Bambuk combines a stable three-wheel design with a comfortable, upright riding position. Its two front wheels and large rear wheel help provide a higher seating position, while the full suspension helps absorb bumps on uneven surfaces.
Both seats feature breathable mesh and adjustable backrest angles, allowing riders to find a comfortable position. The rear seat sits slightly higher than the front, giving the rear rider a clearer view ahead.
The electric motor provides additional support when pedalling, helping both riders tackle hills and longer journeys. Meanwhile, the 14-speed Rohloff hub offers a wide range of gears and allows you to change gear while stationary.
Another practical feature is the telescopic frame, which shortens the tricycle from approximately 3 metres to 1.9 metres. This makes it easier to transport and store when space is limited.
