Always a standout among high-quality rugged short-wheel-base (SWB) under-seat-steering (USS) recumbents the stout frame on the Eliminator gains an adjustable pedal boom and new chain idler with easily replaceable sprockets.

  • Terratrike Rover Recumbent Trike

    When Terratrike introduced their Rover trike in 2010. It is a comfy, rugged trike, and the most economical Terratrike has ever offered. This trike is made to fit anybody with a 400 lb rider weight limit, an extremely adjustable frame and the highest tadpole seat I know of.

  • HP Velotechnik Scorpion and Scorpion FX Recumbent Trike

    The Scorpion comes stock with the SRAM dual drive 24-speed system so you should have a wide range of ratios and can shift 3 of the gears even when stopped. I would not recommend the optional 18-speed derailleurs especially if you will be doing touring.

  • Catrike Pocket Recumbent Trike

    The pocket is the smallest trike Catrike makes. It is designed to be a performance tadpole trike with good fit and weight distribution for riders from ~5′ to ~5’8”. Riders near the shorter end of that scale may need shorter cranks than the stock 165mm arms on the pocket to eliminate heel strike on the…

  • Catrike Expedition Recumbent Trike

    The Expedition is rugged enough for commuting or touring but it is faster than some more expensive “performance” trikes. With a 26” rear wheel it has high gears (25” to 130”!) with standard size chainrings that will shift well.

  • Ice Vortex Recumbent Trike

    The Vortex from ICE Recumbents is designed to be their high speed recumbent trike. It offers a reclined seating position and high end components to make sure that it is light and as fast as possible.

  • Catrike 700 Recumbent Trike

    The Catrike 700 may be the fastest recumbent trike available, certainly the fastest for under $3000. It is light, low and has a 700c rear wheel for lower rolling resistance and smoother riding. It is much faster and lighter than some more expensive “performance” trikes.

  • HP Velotechnik Speed Machine Recumbent Bike

    The Speed Machine is a low racer recumbent with dual hydraulic disk brakes, full suspension and a well-padded carbon seat for folks who want to go fast without giving up comfort. At 35 lb it is a bit heavier than non-suspended (without suspension) low racers.

  • Volae Tour Recumbent Bike

    Designed for long distance touring; the Tour is lightweight and equipped with components chosen to provide trouble-free performance. AFD (Accessory Friendly Design) engineering allows you to easily add fenders, racks, lights, bags, computer, etc. Starting and stopping is a breeze thanks to the smaller front wheel and lower crankset. Fat tires or skinny tires; the…

  • Volae Sport Recumbent Bike
