I gave a short opinion because this isn't a recumbent forum and I know he can get a vast amount of information at Bentrider Online and is no doubt already reading it. I did not give a specific model recommendation, I merely agreed with the OP that the Base delta trike with a motor is a very good choice for the rider he described. There aren't a ton of deltas to choose from and Hase is hard to beat in that segment. Alternatively he could get a lower tadpole but - as I mentioned - they can be a bear to get in and out of and I'm not sure the rider's knees are going to appreciate it. We need him on a bike or trike he'll ride, not avoid.
My comment about hills is one of those areas we can go round and round on forever, it's probably the biggest point of contention with 'bents and the true believes will tell you it's not a big deal. I think it's a big deal and said so, I'm not in the habit of saying "I think" before every opinion I give on a forum where I'm clearly stating opinions. Nobody is required to agree with me. At any rate a Clem L is easy to get on and off and climbs well. I DON'T THINK this fellow needs a recumbent for the riding he wants to do. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
