This type of bike has two seats and two sets of pedals. It is a model that is perfect for cycling with friends or as a couple. This makes it possible to limit the effort and to share the effort between 2 people.

    Electric tricycles

This type of bike, we come across it more and more in our streets. Electric recumbent bikes position the rider in a more relaxed position and they lie down. This type of bike can be very fun because we are quite close to the ground and it feels like driving a small go-kart. However, it is advisable to use a safety flag to alert other riders to the low profile of your recumbent bike.
