I think this is one of ActionBents' links on their website...interesting to see some of the Asian recumbent designs. Seems much more varied than what we see out of Europe and North America! Not sure if any of them hold a candle to the HP Velo SMGTe for comfort, though -- or to one of the Challenge speedsters for speed...but interesting to see, all the same! Particularly as they seem like every-day low-maintenance kind of machines, the sort you just pick up and go with and not really worry about.
I wonder in which Asian country recumbents will first really pick up and take off...China, with its tradition of bike-riding; Taiwan, where most bikes are (had been?) made; Japan, whose citizens love novelty and gadgets and funny-looking contraptions? One big factor *against* "recumbency" would be the typically tight spaces of most Asian environments, plus the some of the worst impulses of '50s-era US auto culture....
Dude... this is a marketplace... not a chat forum... find another place to babble about recumbents...
