       @freemo Nice. One of these days I'll buy a recumbent and convert it to electric. My wrists don't handle conventional bikes well anymore.

       @kilroy_was_here yea my back and wrist dont work well with a traditional bike.. recumbants are just more fun.. should be comfortable if your gonna exercise.

       @freemo Can you estimate its top speed? I guess it will very according to how much coffee and sugar you've had.

       @SteelFolk Depends on the person and terrain. I can tell you that it is **faster** than an ordinary bike for the same person (Weight and energy) put in... by a big margin. In fact they are usually banned in bike races because of their superior performance (aerodynamics). World records on recumbants typically exceed world records on ordinary bikes.

       @freemo In Holland, they call them "sleeping bikes". But they regularly overtake my car.

       @SteelFolk I rode mine for quite a while and never heard them called "sleeping bikes".. They were always called Leichtfeits (sp?) which as far as I know means "laying down bike"

       @freemo I always dream that a modified version of recumbent bikes can replace many cars and electric cars. Here https://ace-shop.com/en/why-recumbents/speed/at 250w of human power, the speed of an aerodynamic recumbent is 69km/h vs 29km/h of a normal bike and 35km/h of a sport racing bike.Imagine one of these bikes with a trunk, some small electric unit, etc...
