Trisled Staff

Ben Goodall, Trisled Director Chief Designer

Having established Trisled in the early 90s during his engineering education, Ben's passion for HPV's has only got stronger. Known in the HPV racing community as 'Uncle Beno', Ben is the principle designer and manufactuer of Trisled's models. Ben is motivated by practical real-world outcomes for human powered vehicles.



Yolande Strengers, Events, Marketing & Website

Yolande is Ben's partner and a 3rd year PhD student studying 'normality change'. She is interested in why people are less likely to accept something that's not 'normal', such as new vehicle formats. Together with her skills and experience in public relations, Yolande manages this website and assists with Trisled's wider business aims of working towards broad social acceptance of HPV's, velomobiles and alternative cycling formats.



Gareth Hanks, Design Assessment & Production
Gareth's interests are simple, but his skills are not. Having raced and built HPV's since high school, Gareth now works part-time for Trisled along with his role at DW Customs manufacturing custom cars.



Braden Shankar, Production, Assembly & Trade Shows
Braden is Trisled's qualified bike mechanic. He assists with production tasks and assembles most of our racing and recreational recumbents. You may have also seen him at HPV racing events, where Braden helps run our Service Tent.



Simone Cole, Administration & Finance
Simone is Ben's big sister, and one of the 'old timers' at Trisled. Simone makes sense of the Trisled books and establishes order amongst chaos.



Ken Houghton, Composites Technician
Ken is a composites expert with a wealth of industry experience and knowledge. The bulk of Ken's working life has been spent in composites research and development for companies such as Boeing. Ken produces Trisled's composite bodies for our racing HPV's and velomobile models.



Trisled Supporters

Trisled is made up of an amazing group of invaluable supporters who are enthusiastic about HPV's! We've tried to list everyone here, but please forgive us if we've missed you!

Test pilots

Trisled engages some of the HPV community's toughest 'test pilots' to put our vehicles to the test! Among them are:

Jeff Nielsen – an endurance HPV and mountain bike racer who knows how to throw around a HPV... and stay in one for a very long time! Moz (Chris Mosley) – a seriously committed commuter cyclist who is 'extreme' about carrying load.

Website

Thanks a bunch to Macca (Clinton McDonald) for creating the 2009 website and Moz (Chris Mosley) for showing us how to update it. The 2010 edition of our website was produced by Andrew Hubbard of 226strategic and Louis Marshall of Bravo Web.
