  • Hunters, farmers and anyone who loves the outdoors-the Velotric Nomad 2X is a beast of a bike. Full suspension with air shocks front and rear, a 750 watt motor with 105Nm of torque, four inch wide fat tires, camo paint job, towing capacity of 1000 lbs.  Sounds more like a truck than a bike. A…

  • The Velotric Breeze 1 is a smart choice for someone looking for an E-Bike with a focus on light weight, comfort, and ease of use. At 48 lbs., the Breeze 1 is about 10 lbs. lighter than most of the competition in the same price range.  That makes a huge difference lifting it onto a…

  • Looking for an E-Bike that will fold to fit into an RV, small apartment, or to commute to school or work?  The Fold 1 Plus might be the bike you are looking for. This folding E-Bike checks off a lot of boxes.  It folds down to a tiny 37.8” x 19.7” x 33.5” package in…

  • We have something new here at the Bicycleman, Velotric E-assist, NON-recumbent bikes! This Summer I drove down to the Pine Creek Trail in Pennsylvania to ride my recumbent along the 60-mile, car free, Rail-To-Trail that runs along Pine Creek.  If you haven’t tried it, do yourself a favor and check it out.  At one of…

  • The Bicycleman has been using electric kits from Electric Bike Outfitters for quite some time now.  When they came out with complete electric bikes it made perfect sense to bring one in to try and see how customers would respond to it.  Here’s my impressions after building it and taking my first ride. We have…

  • I’ve received some e-mails from people looking for recumbent trikes for kids so the family can ride together. I’ve also been asked what is available for riders under five feet tall. The choices have been few in the past, so I did some research and wanted to share with you what I found. In March…

  • I thought people out there in internet land might like to see how we ship a recumbent trike to you. We had special boxes made to ship the trikes via 18-wheeler. They are too big to ship fully assembled via UPS or FEDEX. Then we get your measurements and set the “boom” length to your…

  • We hear from a lot of people that they are curious about recumbents but are hesitant to buy one. It can be a lot of money to invest in an experiment to improve your comfort. Fortunately, we have a way to minimize the risk and make trying one more affordable. Currently, recumbent shops are selling…

  • I want to give you a sense of what a first visit to the Bicycleman is like.  Usually, customers have seen someone on a bike path ride by with a weird looking bike and that leads to some internet searching.  If the person is within a six-hour drive, they eventually end up giving us a…

  • We have been busy this Winter adding e-assists to recumbent trikes.  A large part of the process is determining the needs of the customer and what type best fits that need. It really comes down to why you want an e-assist.  Some want to keep up with younger friends, others are worried about the big…

  • We have been carrying e-kits from Electric Bike Outfitters for quite some time now and have been impressed with their reliability. We have had a few issues come up, so for the sake of clarity I want to have a reference sheet available to help troubleshoot over the phone. This applies to the 48 volt…

  • Every once in a while I get a call asking, “what size spokes do I need to build a wheel”. Trying to describe the process of measuring and calculating over the phone seldom goes well for either party. Here is a step by step guide to how I do it here at the Bicycleman. Usually…
