Anybody know anything? Someone posted somewhere that they are hard to come by. $1400 is much better than SatRday...

HPM sells direct only, so there is not a lot of marketing on their products.
They are the for profit arm of the not for profit Center for Appropriate Transportation.
They train youths on bicycle fabricating skills.

Though the Phaser and its non-folding sibling the Trick are aluminum, they weigh as much as chromo monotube bents.

I believe the Phaser to be the lowest priced folding SWB bent on the market.

The have several models of bents, folders, and cargo carrying bikes/trikes and combinations of those.

I’ve heard thumbs up from HPM owners, including one local ride leader/bicycle courier who has over 40,000 miles on another HPM model.

they take about two months to get, they build on demand at CAT, it's a non-profit organization, best
way is to call them, they do not answer e-mails that well. I sold a used one for 800.00 :-( it is a
HIGH quality bike, does not fold as small as a Saturday, i do believe.
