New Short Wheel Base (SWB)
Under Seat Steering (USS) Linear Recumbent dual 20 will replace the Linear
Sonic
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.
Linear Recumbent Bikes in
Western New York is working on a NEW SWB USS bike to replace the Sonic
Linear SWB USS Dual 20" Prototype #2 has been well received by
riders
The New Linear SWB USS Recumbent is intended to replace the old
Linear Sonic
Due to demand for our Limo LWB
production of the new Linear SWB USS Recumbent Bike is delayed till spring
2009. Our 2nd prototype of this dual 20” wheel bike 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. The 3.0 version with a 26" rear 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 for 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 Bicycle Man also maintains a
selection of parts and accessories for Linear recumbent bicycles.
