Hello,
I would like to say I am very impressed with
your product. I am rebuilding my recumbent
this winter with some modifications, but
here is a picture of it from late fall 2003.
I rode it to work/school most of the riding
season. It's a 26 mile round trip, mostly
a flat ride, but there is one hill, and I
tell you I am so thankful for that little
engine. I have a speedo on it and I believe
I have it dialed in correctly - 27 MPH on
the flats and 34 down hill. Not to bad considering
I weigh 250 and the bike is pretty heavy
at around 80 lbs (with engine). Along with
riding in town, I can say I spent less than
$3 in gas a week, not bad considering the
stop and go in town and it did most of the
work. In my Lincoln, I was spending $27 a
week. The gas savings has more than paid
for the engine and well on the way to paying
for the bike itself.
I am designing a lean-steer recumbent that
will hopefully be completed before Fall/Winter
2004 and that motor will be on that bike
too!!
Again, thanks for making a great product.
