Limited Lifetime Warranty
Effective immediately, Big Cat HPV is extending a limited lifetime
warranty on all Catrike frames to the original purchaser. Previously,
the warranty period had been five years.
“We’re committed to delivering the best possible value to our customers,”
said Paulo Camasmie, founder of Big Cat HPV. “Extending a
lifetime warranty is just one more example of that philosophy.”
The new warranty covers not only tricycles manufactured from this
date forward, but also all 2003 Catrikes. “We’re grandfathering all of
the Speeds we built last year,” Camasmie said. “We’re very confident
in the quality and strength of our design.”
Big Cat HPV’s mission is to deliver human-powered vehicles that
offer outstanding design and very high build quality at a reasonable
price. All Catrikes are built with pride in the United States of America.

Catrikes Now Available
Through Amazon.com
We are proud to announce that Big Cat Human Powered Vehicles
have established an exclusive deal with Amazon.com to sell Catrikes
online. This will not only promote and enhance Catrike sales to the
mainstream market but will also help promoting cycling and recumbent
products to prospects that would not look for recumbents or trikes
otherwise.
Big Cat continues fully committed with our network of dealers and
this will only grow stronger. In our opinion nothing replaces the convenience
of buying from a dealer. Big Cat is operating with Amazon
on a Beta at this stage and it is limiting the units available through this
channel. There is not an economical advantage in purchasing from
Amazon over a dealer. It is just a convenience for those who don’t
have a dealer nearby.
What triggered the decision was the fact that Big Cat had a substantial
amount of requests of customers outside a dealer’s area that wants
to purchase the Catrikes. Another cool feature of Amazon, is that current
Catrike owners wanting to upgrade to a new Catrike, can sell their
Catrikes online through Amazon used sales.
In order to match the exponential demand for the Catrike, Big Cat is
moving into a new building, four times the current size and hiring as
well as purchasing new and more modern equipment.
