Ken, do you happen to have a link or other info on where I can take a
look at these bikes in Japan? I live in Osaka and have been looking into
getting a bent for a while. Any help would be greatly appreciated!


I suggest taking a trip to Kyoto to visit Loro World Recumbents
( http://www.loro.co.jp/index2-lwr.html ) - they are the only
recumbent specialty shop in Japan. Although I'm not too sure if they
carry the Tsunami and Pockey7 - when I visited this spring the only
Taiwanese bent was the Sugimura Progressive (made by the same company
but different design). If you can't read the Japanese web page, the
shop owner (Mr. Koji Kobayashi - no relation to me) can be reached at


Also this page has some information about the Tsunami and Pocky7:

(Click on thumbnails for detailed specs)

If you can read Japanese I recommend joining this mailing list:
http://www.eonet.ne.jp/~minivelo-bent/
That's where most Kansai area recumbent riders hang out on the 'net.
