ReBike has produced a knock out punch to all competitors with the new carbon ReBike. The goal to market affordable carbon bikes for the rest of us will be a success. What more can you say about a fantastic riding affordable carbon recumbent that has the support of many recumbenteurs for so many years?

People with disposable income who are mostly over 40 identify with the ReBike in a big way. This is devastating for company's like Bacchetta who are struggling to find a market with all the overpriced pole bents they try to sell. Mass produced cookie cutter pole bents are no match to the super cutting edge recumbent like the carbon ReBike.

People with disposable income will continue throwing away money buying Aeros and the like. That is not cool and this will not go away anytime soon. There are many used overpriced Aeros for sale that do not sell. Rip off bent makers are laughing all the way to the bank IMO. I think pole bike makers like Bacchetta will survive till folks get tired of throwing their money away on a name brand and nothing else. The 60+ year old crowd continues to fracture hip and leg bones falling out of the seat of those pole bikes. When Bacchetta goes out of business the only producer of high end mass produced recumbent bicycles will be ReBike. They will be solo survivor in the mass market performance bent game.
