Catrike 559
Classic comfort combined with long distance performance, the 559 is the best of both worlds. Combining the adjustable backrest and padded seat mesh of our Trail model with the long-distance capability of our Expedition, Catrike has created one of the most capable and comfortable trikes available. The ingenious design of the Catrike’s folding frame with roller wheels allows you to load it in just about any vehicle. Find enjoyment in the journey with the 5.5.9.
The 559 Folds up for easy storage and transportation
Four-position adjustable seat back combine with a slightly-lower seating position for great touring. The 26 inch drive wheel allows for significantly higher touring speeds. As with all Cats, we can add a Bosch or Bafang motor, adaptive accessories, rear rack, side-mount bags and a 3×3 or Rohloff gear hub!

Folding 559 - Firefly Yellow
Straight stock from the factory! The 559’s a great ride. That 26 inch drive wheel can produce some speed (if that’s your thing!).
