To the contrary, a recumbent may have more than two wheels. It can have 3 or 4 wheels depending upon the model. Starting out in the middle of a hill on a trike is no problem at all. I rode many thousands of miles on two wheeled recumbents before switching to a trike. The most crucial thing was to remember to downshift BEFORE coming to a stop but that also applies stopping on level ground. Smoothly starting out on a steep hill in a high gear may be nearly impossible but it is possible to gear down even when stopped, just much more difficult than on some road bikes.
