Need some help from 'bent owners

Kurt,

Good luck with your project. You have picked a good subject.

I have an Easy Racers Tour Easy Long Wheel Base(LWB)(ASS) and my wife has an Easy Racers EZ-1 Super
Cruiser that is a Compact Long Wheel Base(CLWB)(ASS).

You might go to www.bentrider.com and look at the bottom of the page. You will find links to many
makers. A brief note to each might generate some interesting data. Also check this page out for
history. bikefix.co.ukforbidden.htmlOpen ↗

Good Luck!

BTW, did you know that USA Triathalon prohibits recumbents?

As a short person- my LWB would be smaller than that.

BTW: the configurations don't match the generally accepted criteria for recumbents. A
"short-wheelbase" bike has the cranks ahead of the front wheel while a "long-wheelbase" bike has the
cranks behind the front wheel. Of course, I've seen a "short-wheelbase" bike (John Williams'
X-Cargo) with a 70" wheelbase.

I am guessing that your samples are screwed.. er.. I mean 'skewed'! I'll bet that the
lower-end models are less represented in this NG than actually exists in the world. I know,
you didn't ask! :-)

I ride a SWB USS un-lowracer.

Kurt, Do a search. There was a thread a couple of months back that was a body count of riders. I
think a lot of riders listed their bikes.

My wife and I have 1 CLWB each with above seat steering. Next month I will add 1 SWB with above seat
steering. Keep us posted as to how your project turns out. Good subject matter by the way.
