This looks like a good recumbent from Quebec, Evox LE

Evox LE 2009, Looks like a carry handle on the bottom?

I think that is just a chain guard with a "styled' lightening hole.

Took a lot of doing (as most bicycle shops don't carry 'bents) but it
looks like it's selling for around $800 cdn. That seems reasonable.
I wonder why they won't give a price on the website.

If a 'crank forward' design is something that interests you, you might want
to take a look at the RANS site, because Randy Schlitter pretty much
invented the concept of crank forward and I think the RANS bikes are a more
direct design/engineering solution. The Evox has, for my taste, too much
artificiality where the purpose is lost in the look.

Oh, yes, I have looked at Rans crank forward style, that's why I
started to figure out how to build my own. The price difference
between a Rans and a Evox is substantial.
I think the Evox is looking
good. It has a style I like as well as being affordable. Looking at
what they used to build it, it also looks durable. I have to admit I'm
not crazy about the style of seat, but that's something that can be
upgraded.
The Rans Stratus doesn't really have a good looking frame design, but
I will admit too, that it's structurally strong, using three diamond
shapes. Let's see if I can get more info on the Evox.
