Just Bought My First Recumbent

I bought a used Mikado (Quetzal) LWB recumbent. I saw it for sale on Kijiji and the guy wanted $125, so I went to get it.

I looked at it and since I had never been on a recumbent, I didn't get on since I figured I would do it in the safety of my driveway.
I got it home and it is too small. I have short legs, 28" inseam, and with the pedals adjusted all the way forward, I still have a difficult
time getting my legs on the pedals in the back position.

The wheelbase is 55" and the bottom bracket is 20" from the front of the seat. I have no idea on the sizing of these types of bikes, so
I need a little help.

I only paid $125 so if I need to do a little work on it, I do not mind.

Thanks,
Ian
