It took you more than 4 rides to learn to ride an upright. You need to give your Bacchetta a fair trial.

One thing I always see upright rider do when they first try a recumbent is that they get a death grip on the bars and try to push and pull to make the bike go. Relax your upper body completely and concentrate on pushing from the hips. A very loose grip on the bars helps, too.
