she would find a real recumbent intimidating.
Bodies seem more complex and intimidating "machines"
to maintain, interact with and manage than bicycles.
She must be protected from exposure to the dirty parts of a bike.
Have you considered a set of scrubs, examination gloves, etc... %^)
Why does she want a bike at all, you may ask... She wants a bike
because I have two. Nevermind that I actually ride mine daily. It is
a matter of "fairness".
Buy her the most expensive bike with the greatest resale value.
That may score you points.
After it sits in the garage for months at a time without being
ridden, or only ridden a few miles, convince her it doesn't
make sense to have such an expensive bike and not ride it
more. Sell it and buy
