# 16-inch wheel for unique low-profile riding fun
# Adjustable 3-position seat
# Durable, weather-resistant decals
# Bright colors
# Quick and easy assembly
# Made in the USA

10.5 lbs sounds too good to be true. Is this a streetgoing recumbent? All I see on the website is an exercycle which is recumbent. Could the true wieght be 10.5 kgs? I thought you were talking about a bicycle not a 16" big wheel. It is a recumbent though.

I love the color scheme- it looks racy! The UCI should change the rules and let Lance Armstrong ride one in the next Tour de France :-)

Remember how much fun you had on those as a kid? Our house was at the top of a hill, on a dead end street, we would spend hours riding down the hill. I can still remember the spinouts and skined knees...
cycletourist, you also found a recumbent for the fiexed gear crowd...

Is there anyone out there who can ride a fixed gear recumbant?
Oh come on Klein, the Demo 9 isn't for everyone, and recumbant riders are people too.

laugh not!
I have seen these machines in action. They go like greased lightening - so fast indeed that at times they seem out of control!
