10.5 lbs sounds too good to be true. Is this a streetgoing recumbent? All I see on the website is an exercycle which is recumbent. Could the true wieght be 10.5 kgs? I thought you were talking about a bicycle not a 16" big wheel. It is a recumbent though.

Classic.

It can't be street legal there's no brakes!!! Or reflectors

I love the color scheme- it looks racy! The UCI should change the rules and let Lance Armstrong ride one in the next Tour de France :-)

Frame will be to flexy.

its a fixed recumbant.

Remember how much fun you had on those as a kid? Our house was at the top of a hill, on a dead end street, we would spend hours riding down the hill. I can still remember the spinouts and skined knees...

cycletourist, you also found a recumbent for the fiexed gear crowd... :)

Sorry to say, I didnt even smile once.

Is there anyone out there who can ride a fixed gear recumbant?

Oh come on Klein, the Demo 9 isn't for everyone, and recumbant riders are people too.

Thanks for the smile -

That's ok Klein i'll cover for you. :)

Crazy:p

laugh not!

I have seen these machines in action. They go like greased lightening - so fast indeed that at times they seem out of control!
