I am thinking about buying a recumbent for the first time.
Of course I don't want to spend allot of money on something I'm not sure I'm going to like, so I'm looking at the EZ-1 Super Cruzer. Any suggestions?????? |

Roger,
If your coming from a good road bike and/or are looking for a fast bike then you will probably will be dissappointed with the EZ-1 except for the comfort. However if you currently just cruise around on a MTB or "comfort" bike or don't ride the EZ-1 is a fun comfortable and easy to learn recumbent that will probably get you addicted and wanting for more. Atleast thats what my first bent a BikeE did for me. The EZ series are inexpensive and fairly simple (easy to repair) and easy to learn so they make good first bents. If you are looking for something a little lighter and faster and are not intimidated but a little longer learning curve a bike such as a used Rocket or Vision R-40 are not much more and will be faster and better suited to longer rides once you get into it.

Any suggestions?????? My best suggestion is not to buy the bottom rung. Unless, of course, that is what you can only afford. I bought a BikeE when I was going to get bent because it was all I could afford. I always looked for something better. The BikeE told me a lot about what I liked and what I didn't about bent riding. When I bought my current bicycle, I bought according to what I wanted. I am no longer looking for any other ride. -- Derek, Burley Canto -------------------------- Posted via cyclingforums.com http://www.cyclingforums.com |
