Recumbent Choice

I’ve decided to get into recumbent bicycling, and I’ve narrowed my choices down to two. The Sun EZ-1 Super Cruiser, and the ActionBent MantaRay.

My wife and I are both retired and we ride mostly on rails to trails where the grades rarely exceed 2%. We aren’t interested in speed, or high-end bikes, only exercise and comfort.

I don’t have a problem assembling the MantaRay if necessary. I’ve worked on bikes a lot over the years.

Both bikes are 24 speed, however the MantaRay has 20 and 26 inch wheels respectively, where as the EZ-1 Super Cruiser has 16 and 20 inch wheels.

If anyone has any suggestions or input, or even another brand similar to the above, I would really appreciate it.

Regards, Joe Folco
