Front Wheel Drive Bicycles

The new way to ride a bike

The Cruzbike is a comfortable, fast and efficient all purpose recumbent bicycle with several features that remove the pain of riding and protect your health and safety. And it's a blast to ride! The Cruzbike truly will renew your love of bikes.

The Cruzbike uses a unique front wheel drive triangle that efficiently transfers your power to the ground. The sculptured seat supports your lower back and prevents saddle problems. The seat and backrest give you a comfortable heads-up sitting position, which is also very aerodynamic.

Climb hills with maximum power

You can use your arms, shoulders and torso to get a full body workout if you want, unlike any other recumbent pedaling system. The extra power you can generate is great up hills, for quick starts or for fast sprints. The unique combination of full body cycling with efficient power transfer and good aerodynamics means you can go faster than with a standard comfort bike, or cover a given distance much more easily, or go the same speed and distance without the usual pain.

Cycling is transport

While mountain bikes and road bikes are designed for sport, the cruzbike is designed to meet our 21st Century needs for healthy lifestyles and sensible transport.

Both the Sofrider and Freerider have dual suspension and dual 26" wheels to smooth out the bumps and give secure, confident handling, aided by a center of gravity slightly lower than a standard bike. Keeping the rider in the line of sight of car drivers also aids safety.

A bike for the whole family

The quick-release telescoping front tube is calibrated and adjusts to a wide range of leg lengths. This great feature makes the Cruzbike a bike the whole family will love to ride, if they can get you off it! If you haven't ridden a recumbent before, you can review the compare with bikes page.

Cycling Ergonomics

If you have never heard of a ”recumbent” bike, you are about to enter a wonderful new world of comfortable and efficient cycling. If you are a recumbent bike enthusiast, please see the compare with 'bents page to review the advantages of the Cruzbike over other recumbent styles. To quote our testimonials page, “once you are on a Cruzbike, other recumbents pale by comparison.” He should know, he had seven before he bought his first Cruzbike.
