The T50 is a gorgeous, simple recumbent road bike that is delightfully affordable, comfortable and versatile. It is the hop-on-and-go Cruzbike. It is equipped with bosses so you can add racks and panniers for carrying beach towels, groceries or a picnic. Plus, the seat back angle is our most upright so you can ride comfortably with a great view.

This is our simplest, most elegant frame design. But don't let its simplicity fool you - it leverages more than a decade of experience making our fast, comfortable, fun-to-ride recumbent road bikes.

  • The T50 fits riders between 5'3" and 6'4" with a simple adjustment.

Safe city riding

Ride with great visibility

Look forward to riding with your head up, naturally and comfortably at eye level with drivers on your next foray to the coffee shop, farmer's market or local brewery.

Easily add accessories

Customize your T50 Cruiser

The T50 is ready for whatever accessories you want on your cruiser. Add a rack, panniers or a basket to carry everything from beach blankets to groceries to your laptop. Mount lights, install fenders, add a bell - you get the picture. The T50 is your canvas for creativity and cruising.

It's everything awesome about riding a bike, without the parts that hurt.

If pain is keeping you from the adventure, camaraderie and fun of cycling, you're not alone. 85% of recreational cyclists report pain in their wrists, back, neck and/or groin after a ride. (Source: International Journal of Sports Medicine). The T50 is an ergonomic bicycle that lets you sit back comfortably rather than crouch over the handlebars. This riding position saves your neck, back, wrists, groin, and quite possibly your sex life by relieving the pressure caused by the traditional bike riding position.

Cruzbike T50 Tech Specs and Fit

Frame

The T50 frame is made of 7005 T6 aluminum alloy and for the new 2022 T50 it is improved for an even better ride. The main frame is now a 60mm tube (instead of 2 inch) with improved gusseting for strength. The result is an even better more positive feel on the road. We also made the rear end on the main frame e-hub capable for aftermarket electrification.

    Front Triangle

    Custom designed power triangle with telescoping inner tube plus oversized 34.9 mm outer tube for additional stiffness, constructed from quality 7005 T6 aluminum alloy.

      Adjustable Seat

      Our new seat attachment uses a proven rail system attached directly to the frame. This allows for infinite adjustment front to back, so you can find the perfect weight balance for your height and leg length.

      PLUS the 2022 T50 features the new fiber/resin seat introduced on the latest Cruzbike Q45 adventure touring bike. It delivers a fantastic compliant road feel, is half a pound lighter and one and a half inches taller than its aluminum predecessor. Pair it with Cruzbike's one piece seat cushion that cradles riders from shoulders to derrier and yep, our favorite cruiser just got even more comfortable.

              Very comfortable bike. The first day I trained on the bike, and the next day I completed 10 miles with ease and comfort. It's our right splendor

              Working with your company has been excellent and I appreciate the support and attention that I have received. The quality of the bike is also excellent but it just wasn't what I needed for me. Thank you.

              T50 review

              In my late 60s I needed a recumbent bike for medical reasons. The T50 has been great. There was a learning curve, getting used to the structure, but it wasn’t long before I was getting around town pretty readily. At this point, I’ve logged plenty of miles and have it set up in the basement to get some winter training in. I’m coming up on a year with it and am looking forward to getting back outside in the spring.

              I was worried about whether I would really be able to ride it when I purchased it. But that was dispelled after a few rides. This model has a short 26-inch wheelbase, allows for tight turning, and runs briskly. You can also leisurely stroll around. It seems that tires up to 2 inches (without mudguards) will fit, so I would like to try wider tires as well.

              Wanted to give a quick update from my son's ride which kicked off yesterday - first leg Asheville to Greenville TN, over 4k vertical, 57 miles, grades up to 9%. It took a few climbs and descents to get better adjusted to riding a recumbent but 14 year old Spencer rocked it like a champ, no bias in that evaluation. And, as you folks are used to hearing, he did not have any back pain! Attached is a pic of Spencer on the bridge in front of Marshall, NC.

              • Anyone else have the travel itch? We spent the afternoon combing the blog archives and found this post from a 2019 trip to Borden Springs, AL.

                Jim and Maria packed up their RV and T50s and toured the area along the Silver Comet Trail. Enjoy the post!

              • "As soon as we set up camp we took our T50s the three blocks to the beautiful, white sandy Gulf of Mexico beach. I particularly love the ocean, any ocean. The particular mix of smells on a breeze that is somehow salty and fishy, with just a little bit of rottenness in it is perfume to me. We stood looking out at the water and watched the sunset in contentment."

                Back in 2019 Jim and Maria took their T50s on a cycling vacation across Alabama, Georgia and Florida. You can find all of their posts and tips about RV travel on the blog but here is a favorite recap from their trip. https://cruzbike.com/blogs/blog/cruzbike-t50-tour-cycling-miramar-beach-fl
