Why Recumbent?

▰ 40% smaller frontal area of aerodynamic resistance

▰ Improved comfort compared to conventional bike
▰ Increased top speed
▰ No two wheeled electric recumbent bike on market

 Battery Power Requirements Calculations

Stage 1: 25 Miles Flat - 46 W * 1.25 hr = 57.5 W-hr

No rider assist
Stage 2: 25 Miles Loop - 46 W * 0.5 hr + 390 W * 0.75 hr = 315.5 W-hr
Stage 3: 25 Miles Flat - 129 W * 1.25 hr = 161.0 W-hr
Rider assist
allowed Stage 4: 50 Miles Loop - 129 W * 1 hr + 473 W * 1.5 hr = 839.0 W-hr
Min. Total (Stage 1 & 2): 373 W-hr
