Catrike Dumont Full Suspension Folding Trike

The Catrike Dumont is for riders looking for comfort and impressive handling characteristics on long stretches of beautiful roads or for everyday use. the Dumont is an incredibly practical trike thanks to Catrike's exclusive folding mechanism incorporating the seat, frame, chain managing kickstand and rollers. It will fit in your car, apartment or you can fit it in your garage for easy storage and portability.

Suspension

Combining their award-winning engineering, design and techniques, Catrike has created a front suspension for the Dumont that creates a more dynamic ride with anti-dive and anti-roll behavior without needing a torsional bar between the front ends of the trike. The rear swing arm, with a high travel rate, pivots on an over-sized hollow alloy axle, actuating the air shock in a progressive manner through a linkage system that pivots through the frame. This allows a complete transfer of all pedal power to the rear wheel with complete efficiency. The best part? Everything is designed and manufactured at home in the United States.
Front suspension is not the Dumont�s only design innovations. Catrike also redesigned the rear suspension to increase lateral stiffness with a new yoke, yoke pivot, axle and a fully triangulated swing arm. The yoke redesign includes oversized 37mm ball bearings, triangular side tunnels, and underside opening. The result is a 53 percent increase in stiffness. The updated yoke pivot boss now has a 360 degree three axis profile and a 25mm through axle.

Folding

Catrike has had folding models for a number of years, and the Dumont is no different from other models. It features Catrike's well-designed folding hinge. Folding is simple and quick so that you can pack it up and take it on the road. Folding and unfolding the dumont takes a matter of seconds.

The hinge is durable and functions incredibly well. Why complicate things? The folding mechanism incorporates the seat, frame , chain managing kickstand and rollers. The small wheels on the frame make it a breeze to roll from location to location, and the kickstand is great for storage in your garage. Catrike doesn't do anything half way, which means this hinge will last for miles to come.

The Catrike Dumont comes stock with the FSA Gossamer triple crank up front and Catrike's adjustable boom. We have many different gearing options available. Use our configurator above to see what options are currently available.

Gearing options are virtually endless. We have great options for both your front and rear gearing. If you're looking to get rid of derailleurs and like the idea of being able to shift while stopped or coasting, maybe an internal gearing solution is the right choice for you!

We are building more and more electric trikes and the Catrike Dumont is a great candidate for a motor. All of our motor kits allow you to choose the level of assist you want. That means that as you pedal the motor kicks in automatically providing additional power to your own pedaling efforts. We also provide a thumb-actuated throttle with our Bafang motor systems that act like the gas pedal in your car. Don't want to pedal? No worries, just push the throttle and go!

Currently we offer three different options here at Utah Trikes: the Bafang mid drive motor which ranges from 750 watts, 1000 watts, and our Ultra which is a 1000 watt motor with a 1400 watt max output. We also offer the "eCat Bosch Active Line Plus" which is a pedal assist only motor that comes as the factory motor upgrade for Catrikes. And Our newest option which is the "UTcustom eCat Bosch Sport Upgrade" which takes the configuration of the regular eCat motor system and replaces the Active Line Plus with the "Bosch Performance Line Sport" a class 3 motor with a 28 mph top speed.

Boom-Mounted Bafang Middrive Motor
The Bafang Middrive comes in a 750 Watt, 1000 Watt, or Ultra. You'll want to choose the motor size based on your style of riding. We install the Bafang motor on your bottom bracket, which means it replaces the front crankset of your trike. The motor being mounted here means the motor can utilize the rear gearing ratios, making it the best for speed and climbing ability

Boom-Mounted Bosch Motor
The Bosch line of motors comes in two varients; The classic "eCat Active Line Plus Kit" which is the Catrike factory motor option, or our new "UTcustom eCat Bosch Sport Upgrade" These are both pedal assist motor that do not feature a throttle, but make up for it with their built in torque sensor. Unlike the Bafang motor systems which have a cadence pedal assist system the Bosch motors utilize a torque sensor which allows for a more natural feeling assist that adjusts to the amount of torque you apply to the pedals. The Active Line Plus is a class 1 electric motor with a top speed of 20 mph, coming equipped with a 400 watt hour battery. The Performance Line Sport is a class 3 electric motor with a top speed of 28 mph, that comes equipped with a 500 watt hour battery.

Custom Mounting
We make our own custom battery mounts to keep the weight down low and near the rear axle. This keeps the weight of the battery from affecting handling and puts the battery in an easily accessible spot of the trike. All our battery systems come with an AC charger and a two-year pro-rated warranty. We make our own mounts to put the control console, throttle, and other buttons where you need them.
