  • Velotric Fold 1 Plus E-Bike

    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…

  • Velotric Breeze 1

    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…

  • Velotric Nomad 2X

    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…

  • Greenspeed Magnum and BW

    The Greenspeed Magnum and Magnum BW are trikes designed by Ian Simms, founder of GreenSpeed.  He designed these trikes after visiting a few US trike dealers, including Bicycle Man LLC.  The Magnums reflect what he learned from his visit. He found the American market likes higher, wider seats. The Magnum seats are 16” wide and…

  • HP Velotechnik Gekko FX

    We have carried the Gekko fx 20 and Gekko fx 26 for years now and have been too busy selling them to do a review! Here is a long-term review of the many good things and a few not so good things that have come up over the years. If you came in and said,…

  • Azub T-Tris

    When I first saw the Azub T-Tris I thought it looked like a HP Velotechnik clone. Certainly not a bad thing to resemble but nothing eye catching. It just didn’t stand out to me so I kind of ignored it. In the fall of 2013, Honza Galla of Azub stopped by the shop and got…

  • Catrike Eola

    In 2019 Catrike introduced their most economical recumbent trike, the Eola. In 2021 they discontinued it. Much like their earlier Trail design the Eola is a tadpole trike with a simplified version of Catrike’s space frame and 20-inch wheels all around. This helps them keep the price and weight down. The frame is very light…

  • Catrike Villager Recumbent Trike

    “Villager” is a good name for this affordable, versatile Catrike. Urban/suburban riders will find its higher seat, upright seat back and tall ground clearance handy in traffic. The Villager’s 12.5” seat height makes it one of the highest tadpole trikes on the market, right up there with the Ice “Adventure” and ideal for riders looking…

  • HP Velotechnik Gekko and Gekko FX

    The HP Velotechnik Gekko fx is the Honda Civic of tadpole trikes.  There are undoubtedly better and much more expensive machines but this is good enough for most of us. The Gekko line falls in the medium seat height class of 13″ high.  That, combined with the “V” shaped cross members and extra long seat…

  • Ice Adventure Recumbent Trike

    The Ice Adventure is the Trike for everyone. It has a alot of options and a high seat height to making riding more comfortable.

  • Bacchetta Giro Recumbent Bike

    The Giro is Bacchetta’s rendition of the popular 20×26 OSS SWB. It is not a groundbreaking design but rather a refinement with some improved features and details. This bike is as easy to adjust between riders as any recumbent in this category.

  • Bacchetta Giro 26 Recumbent Bike

    The Bacchetta Giro 26″ is the recumbent that brought me thru the Bicyclemans’ door for the first time. I had finished a tour around Lake Ontario on my old Rans V-Rex and ran into a little trouble. The back roads I was riding on in Canada often had 3″ of loose stone for a shoulder.…
