The HP Velotechnik Spirit is a high quality, compact long-wheelbase (CLWB) recumbent bicycle designed primarily for urban commuting and city riding. It features an upright, high-seating position that provides excellent visibility in traffic, making it a popular choice for first-time recumbent riders.
Description
Design Philosophy: Engineered for comfort and accessibility, the Spirit allows riders to sit at approximately the same height as car drivers, improving "eye contact" and visibility.
Frame & Handling: The aluminum frame features a sleek curve for easy "stand-over" and mounting. Its medium wheelbase makes it agile for navigating narrow turns and crowded city streets.
Comfort Features: It includes full suspension (rear suspension is standard to cushion potholes) and an adjustable mesh-on-frame seat.
Adjustability: The Spirit accommodates a wide range of rider heights; when the seat is moved forward, it also lowers to the ground to assist shorter riders.
