While waiting for my, still errant, GoBike I've been giving my old Flevobike recumbent a bit of an airing. And as it happens Flevobike have recently published CGIs of their new bent :-
'The Greenmachine' (http://www.flevobike.nl/greenmachine_1.html), which will be available in March 2006, it come in three lengths and has huge scope for adjustment of the seat and bars.
If you visit the above site, make sure you click on the other pages and the detail links on the 3rd page! Wow! The price is : € 3480,- (incl. 19% BTW) EEEEK! (but there again, it's about what I've spent on the GoBike! Gulp!)
My present Flevobike allows me to slide the handlebar stem right down by loosening 2 screws, then undo 3 more to remove the seat and slide the rack forward. This makes a small enough package to easily fit my car. O. K., it's not a folder in the classic sense, but it is a small wheeled collapsible machine which is quite fast!

Nice looking ride but pretty spendy. I could be interested in one at some point though. Pedals look very high so I'd really want to try one first. I have a lot of traffic near me so I don't think it would be too fun in that.
