I went to the site and looked at the specs. It's hard to believe that a recumbent can come in <20 lbs curb weight. I must say if you average the 3 prices and convert Euro to dollars $3800 is well out of this retirees price range. Just to note there is an included 21% value added tax that U.S. citizens would not have to pay but a good portion of that would go into shipping.

Have you ridden a recumbentt or simi-recumbent? I have not but would like to try it one day.
