Any maxarya riders out these?

[MaxaryaMan]

I purchased my 1st CLWB recumbent this past August, a Canadian made Maxarya Ray-1, disk brakes, fenders etc, and am thrilled with it. I've never been so comfortable on a bike, and I lov e to ride it.

I'd be interested in any feedback or comments from others who ride this great bike.

Cheers from Saskatchewan Canada.

Maxarya Ray-1

Yep! Despite living in California, I got my bike, a Yellow Ray-1 from a Canadian dealer last year.

The bike is wonderful and I REALLY LOVE IT! I had a used BikeE from a friend for a couple of months and as I got my Maxarya, the poor BikeE was dumped. It obviously performs better and looks much nicer than the dumped BikeE!

I definetely recommend 20" front wheel. The bike originally arrived with 16" but soon I switched to 20" because I thought it could look more serious and also perform better. Now sure it does!

I've put almost 2000 miles on it and very happy with its performance. Oh! really comfortable too.

Putting all these quality and recumbent things aside, This bike made me lose 15 pounds! I'm sending my new images to the company to be posted on their new website. See me there!

Hi!

I am shopping for my first recumbent.
I have taken short rides on the BikeE (all models), Cannondale Easy Rider , Sun EZ-1, and Rans Tailwind about 2 years ago. From those rides, I decided I really wanted a recumbent. For price reasons, I was considering a BikeE, but they went belly-up. My all-time favorite was the Cannondale Easy Rider, but it was too expensive. I've saved a little more money, and am now seriously shopping. But the market has changed somewhat...

I found the Maxarya (how do you pronounce that, anyway?!) website, and am very interested in the Ray-1 and/or Ray-1X. You are the first person I've contacted who owns one. I'd love to hear more about the bike, your shopping experiences with other bikes, any gripes you might have about the Ray-1 now that you've owned it a while, etc.

Hope to hear from you soon!
