I am wanting to get an overall picture here. I recently built my own swb recumbent which I am chuffed to bits with and using it to commute to work on. Its a new concept in cycling for me and opened the doors for more projects. What I am wanting to know is what's the average speed of say a Bachetta or a bike-e etc on the flat, incline and hilly part.
I know I have not got my recumbent legs yet and I have mixed feelings about the speed on various road conditions. I seem to be slower on the bent or feel its slower or could it be that its just more comfy and I am enjoying the ride more, I cant beleive the interest and looks I get from people. I was let out of a junction the other day who waved me out and stared at the bike other than been papped at by certain idiots ....I just dont know?
down hill..have to break at 30mph
flat........18 to 20+
incline....10 to 12
hilly.......06 to 08
Have I built a Lada recumbent or would you say its average!
thoughts please would make me happy.
