Linear
Recumbents (Made in USA) Introduces the NEW SWB USS
Recumbent Bike to replace the Iowa built "Sonic" SWB
Then:
Linear
(Iowa) made the Sonic SWB USS recumbent bike until 2001
when Linear (Iowa) closed down. Most riders found the
Iowa built Sonic difficult to ride due to its vertical
head angle. The Iowa built Sonic is permanently out of
production.
Now:
In late 2002 The Bicycle Man bought the remaining assets
of Linear Mfg Inc
and moved Linear recumbent manufacturing operations to
Western NY
where Linear recumbent bikes are Alive and Well Today!
The NEW Short Wheel Base (SWB) Under Seat
Steering (USS) Recumbent Bicycle from Linear Recumbents in Western New
York
Linear
Recumbent Bikes in Western New York is working on a
NEW SWB USS Recumbent Bicycle to replace the old Linear
Sonic.
The NEW Linear Dual 20" SWB USS prototype, available in
the fall?
The first
new Linear SWB USS Recumbent Bike in a decade may be on
the market in the fall of 2009.
Pictured is
the 2nd prototype of the new dual 20” wheel bike. It was
well received by the crowd at the 2006 'bentride. Most
riders found it maneuverable and very easy to ride. It
weighs 30 1/2 lb, not bad for a prototype, and its over
all length is about 65 inches. I've been riding the
prototypes for over 12 months and I like them a lot.
Due to demand for our Limo LWB, production of the new
Linear SWB USS Recumbent Bike is delayed till spring
2009. We plan a 3.0 version with a rear 26" wheel, front
V and rear disk brakes and 27 speeds is planed to retail
for under $2000, probably in 2009. A folding frame
version is planed to undergo destructive testing in
2010. If it passes testing this folding version will be
a dual 20" bike and fold to well under 36” long.
The
original Iowa-built Sonic is permanently out of
production.
