I would say lower price.I get a lot of interest until they find out how much they cost.Some one said build them for kids.And they are right but not many parents are going to put out the bucks they coast for there kid to ride and leave in the rain and what have you.We do have a little girl in the neighborhood that has close to a recumbent.Or I guess a peddle forward that they got at Wal-Mart on sale for like 39 dollars the only one I have ever seen at Wail-Mart.It did`t go over to good I would guess as they had it on clearance.She wanted it cause she sees me riding my Sun AX.
