i was about to drop a ton of money on a recumbent but this directly addresses my only concern with trikes....the lack of upper body work out....just checked the price. $10,000 Canadian.
@@o.b.v.i.u.sUnfortunately, they don't, but they were thinking about making a trike attachment. Haven't heard any more about it. I think Cruzbike should make a trike.
@@polyrhythmia I have both a Cruzbike Quest, and the Varibike trike. In my opinion, you only get an upper body workout on the Cruzbike if you do it wrong. I drect the thrust of my feet, and can start the Cruzbike and ride it hands off, steering only with the feet. That leaves nothing for an upper body workout. I don't see how it would actually add any power if to just stomp on the pedals and pull on the handlebars. On the Varibike trike, the arms add more power than I expected from how little muscle mine have compared to my legs. And I can get high intensity exercise, which I never manage with legs only, because my legs get tired before I get out of breath. It's been my only transport for 15 months.
@@robertbiegler4815 I have no trouble riding no hands on the Cruzbikes, but if I really want to pour on the power, then the upper body helps. Riding no hands does work the core, I have noticed.
So if you need to brake properly, you have to take your hands off and reach down to the rear brake levers beside the seat? Looks like a good bike to go slow on. You could at least get a big load between the rear wheels, so a good everyday commuter/ shopping buggy.
Super idea. I want one. I hope it catches on to the general public.
Trike with a lot function. But looks easy- I think it`s revolutionary.

There is the Cruzbike recumbent. Front-wheel drive and moving bottom bracket allows use of upper body.
@@polyrhythmia they make a TRIKE? i don't see one on their site...

Great idea and design but why so low? If on the road it could be a concern....visibility, mud, dogs etc.
Aerodynamism. Look up velomobiles, it's the augmented trike with a plane-like carbon fiber cockpit for even more of this specific caracteristic.
@@benlacavalerie2583 I know about velomobiles but I thought this particular model was intended for exercise rather than velocity.
"EASY BREAKING" (2:21) I hope that doesn't mean it falls apart easily! :) Interesting concept and looks fun.
Good, you found our hidden write error ;-)
yes it should mean "EASY BRAKING"
This is exactly what I was looking for, SAY LESS, SAY LESS
o.k... now _that_ has got my interest!
Market potential with differing seat height models.
Is it actually faster though?
I live in Davis, CA(USA) are these available only factory direct? Is the frame warrantied lifetime?

I think you just handpedal backwards to engage the main brakes.
Good job, Are you represent in France?
Can you ride it?
looks ok but let see you pull a big hill.
How can I give 10 likes?
I want to see it in Ukraine :)
Nice... I'm looking for a rough terrain recumbent touring bike... Would you kindly rub some brain cells together, and figure one out...?
Google says …3,000 -4,000$. ?
