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…

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,…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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.

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.…

The Trail is a Catrike built for riders on a budget. It brings Catrike back to the price point they started at in 2000, considerably lower once you factor in inflation. Like all Catrikes the Trail is still made in the US.
