I think the interesting here is the seat. It sounds like they have developed an adjustable hard
shell seat, probably to eliminate the sizing issues.

OK, lets all go ride our couch wheels.

As the text obviously is not aimed at experienced recumbent riders, I'll only try to paraphrase, not
exactly to translate it:

|Mit dem voll gefederten kompakten GrassHopper stellen die |Liegeradspezialisten von HP Velotechnik
ein schnelles Tourenrad mit |verwöhnenden Sitzkomfort vor.

The full suspended, compact GrassHopper is intended by HP Velotech to be a fast tourer offering
excellent comfort.

|Der ergonomische Liegeradsitz und das mit 67 cm deutlich über der |Sitzhöhe von 54 cm liegende
Tretlager bewirken eine ermüdungsarme und |windschnittige Körperhaltung und machen den GrassHopper
damit zum |ausgezeichneten Tourenrad.

The ergonomic seat at a height of 54cm(21,25"😉 and the considerable high bottombracket at
67cm(26,3"😉 provide a less fatiguing and aerodynamic position, thus making the Grasshopper an
excellent touring bike.

|GrassHopper ist das weltweit erste Rad mit dem neuen BodyLink-Sitz.

The GrassHopper ist the first bike all over the world featuring the new BodyLink seat.

|Die vom herkömmlichen Rad bekannten Sitzbeschwerden, ein verkrampfter |Nacken oder schmerzende
Handgelenke gehören damit der Vergangenheit an.

No more aching butts, necks or wrists like on conventional bikes.

|Der BodyLink Sitz ist der natürlichen S-Form der Wirbelsäule angepasst: |Die Kombination einer
festen, anatomisch geformten Sitzschale und einer |sanft gewölbten Rückenlehne mit einer flexiblen
Verbindung gibt dem |Fahrer eine angenehm großflächige Unterstützung.

The BodyLink seat adapts to the natural form of the human spinal column: the combination of a solid
anatomical contoured seat-pan and a soft curved seat back provides a comfy and wide support for the
rider('s back). The seat actually consists of to parts, flexible linked together---> BodyLink

|Der längenverstellbare Sitz ist per Schnellspanner vielfältig auf |den Fahrer anpassbar.

The seat is multi-adjustable via quickrelease not only in angle but also in length.

|GrassHoppers bevorzugte Lebensräume sind Landstraßen und Feldwege.

GrassHopper likes to ride(jump?) on roads and gravel paths.

|Mit 110 mm Federweg liegt das nur 170 cm lange Rad lässig pfeilschnell |auf der Straße.

Suspension travel is 110 mm(4,33"😉, the bike is only 170 cm(67"😉 long and is a cool and fast
going bike.

|Das 13,9 kg leichte Rad ist ab März 2004 für 1990,- Euro im Fachhandel |erhältlich.

Bike weighs 13,4 kg(33,5 pds) and will be available spring 2004, price 1990 Euro.

And now let's wait for the first ride reports. ;-)
