Recumbent Trikes
New web site format
and content is being worked on, so stay tuned.
RBR will be closed September 2nd, 3rd, and 4th
and will re-open Friday September 5th.
Pulling the Aergo together is a learning experience and I am humbled. :)
We want to thank all you supporters who have been following the development.
It's slow (as in snail slow) going, but it's coming along ...
Here we have put it on a Catrike
Trail but Rob has a Catrike Villager coming which has even higher clearance. We'll see. At least in
the Trail we don't scape on every crack in the sidewalk. It's been suggested we simply sell the shells
and let those who love to create, fashion their personal velomobiles. From that we can learn from each other -
(perhaps cut out the bottom, perhaps not, angle the nose for more front clearance, make a topless convertible style.
A velomobile kit to retrofit a recumbent trike?!?
Rob has been working with GlasTec to redesign a velomobile trike kit.
Rob went to meet with Chuck McCain of
GlasTec in Arizona and took the shell to the next level.
(GlasTec is a fiberglass product manufacturer that originally made the Aerolope Velomobile
and is now working with RBR to redesign and manufacture a shell/kit.)
In a recent interview Rob explained, "I think they [Chuck McCain and Boris Zakoldev] were way ahead of their times.
The design is well thought out, very aerodynamic, durable, and practical. Lots of trunk space for hauling
and for the tall folks, ceiling height. Pedal for fun, use as sustainable transportation, electric-assist if desired,
and you can have your bare trike back whenever you want."
Depending on trike steering designs, we are trying to come up with some sort of removable (fabric?)
side doors. As shown below, it will be a "pull-apart" design so the halves can be nested and shipped more easily.
We will be giving rides at the RBR Rally 2008 - June 14th weekend. The goal is to use existing trikes to create velomobiles. Save on auto expenses, maintain health,
and get "greener" with a sustainable transportation!
The plan was to produce a kit to fit Catrikes and Greenspeed trikes, but unfortunately the clearance of the bottom of the trike has limited the models.
The Catrike Trail works and the new Villager will work. It fits a Road but the bottom shell from the ground is too low for any practical usage.
We just finished the demo's exterior with a "Tie-Dyed" look. Rob loves it!

... pictured here with carbon fork, boom, riser/handlebar. This one is shown with
SRAM X-0 rear derailleur and shifters, Ultegra 165 triple and front derailleur,
Velocity Aeroheat rims/XT hubs/Stelvio tires 20"/26" wheelset.
Comes with seat foam and cover. Beautiful ... $3495

Thanks for your interest in our Recumbent Bike
& Trike
selection. We offer a variety of
recumbent and trikes. If you are close to our
location, come on in and test ride recumbent
bikes and recumbent trikes to find which are
suited to your personal fit and riding
lifestyle.
If you live too far away to come into the
store and don't have a recumbent dealer in your area,
we can ship some brands of recumbent bikes and
trikes. Please call for further information as
several manufactures do not allow shipping of their recumbents.
When we sell and ship new
recumbent bikes or recumbent trikes to a
customer, we've had it unpacked, assembled,
and adjusted. Then it's ridden,
re-adjusted, packed in usually two boxes, and shipped
insured.
Recumbent bike questions? Many of your
recumbent questions are probably answered
somewhere on this web site. Be sure to look
around using the title bar buttons at the top
to navigate.
