Aerobic Cruiser hybrid recumbent ebike


This is probably the first recumbent designed to be an ebike and with the manufacturer looking to clear some inventory is currently a good deal on a new ebike.

I had been looking at recumbents for a few years and more recently electric bikes. Have even ridden a couple of home built ebikes done by Christofer Parham. Be warned... riding one of his modded ebikes can be a grin inducing addiction.

My main reason for considering the Aerobic Cruiser (AC for short) was the desire to be able to ebike my 43 mile commute and not need a shower or massage therapy afterwards. I have been riding my regular bikes the few miles to catch the commuter bus for about five years and grew up riding around the rural roads of the Carolina's. However, going over 20 miles in business casual clothes on a pedal only bike was more than I dared tackle at forty something especially in Atlanta summer heat. Although this past summer it was more like Seattle weather than Hot'lanta.

Anyway, I wanted an ebike and had long been curious about recumbents. So I took the $$$ plunge after visiting the AC facility in Cordova, TN and taking a test ride. Plus I saved on shipping by renting a van and hauling it home myself. Bike was purchased on Saturday 10 August 2013.
Will update with my experiences.
