I just bought a fusion and like it very much. its exactly a cross between a concentional bike and a recumbent. its far easoer to start going than any other recumbent ive owned. its faster than a low bracket recumbent, though perhaps not as faast as a high bracket. handling is far and away better than any recumbent ive ridden its like my honda 80cc scooter. its great diving into turns. the seat is strangly attached to the frame, but no problem, i weigh 250 lbs. its rans lightest bike also and also the cheapest. an excellent bike imho
