Bike E worth

Anybody give me an idea what a brand new (demo model) BikeE RX recumbent might be worth? The worth is offset by the fact the company closed. This is good news if you are a buyer. Bad news if you are a seller. Since BikeE's demise, it is not unusual to see them for $650 to $900. Do a search in http://www.google.comGoogle for "BikeE RX for sale". This will give you an idea. -- - - - - Derek Burley Canto, modified -------------------------- Posted via cyclingforums.com http://www.cyclingforums.com |

Bike E worth
I paid $1050 for mine about 7 weeks ago, Some guy on this group told me
that I shouldn't have paid more than $700. So far I think it's a great bike and very comfortable too. Gsquared wrote: Anybody give me an idea what a brand new (demo model) BikeE RX recumbent might be worth? Not certain what model year it is, but it has a 27 spd gear box, high back sweet seat, and the recalls that were part of BikeE's fate have been addressed. The originl price tag said $1,699 which seems to be what the going retail sticker price was. Thanks...... gg |

For you folks who love your RX's, buy some spare parts while they're available.

a few of these models have recently been advertised on e-bay.com & other 'bent
site classified ads, they seem to be worth about $700 (yes dollars). If you have one here in the UK and are considering selling please let me know........... |

Bike E worth
I've written about BikeE in several issues since the company went under. I
wrote a review of the RX after my using it as my full time bike for one season. We also have discussed who has replacement parts on more than one occasion. The bike has many proprietary parts. If it were me, I'd want one of every known weak point if I were planning to keep my RX for years. The exception might be the crank/mid-drive which would be replaced by a Schlumpf or SRAM Dual Drive, and you could even lighten the bike by removing the mid-drive. RCN is a print magazine. We have many free sample issues and articles on the web. The fact remains that we're a print publication (have been since 1990) and 80% of our revenue comes from subscribers. My signature includes our website URL link. Sorry I don't have any articles about spare parts readily available. This is on my list of articles to write. We did this for the Trek recumbent when it went out of production. Bob Bryant http://www.recumbentcyclistnews.com |
