I gotta tell you, I’ve ridden a lot of bikes and plenty of recumbents and this e-Lightning is the funnest of all. Really comfortable. No stresses or strains. Aero. Fits in car. Light enough. With a rack, can carry a couple of shopping bags. Doing the 72 miles around Lake Tahoe in June.

The clutch in the geared motor offers zero drag when pedaling and not engaging battery power. This motor is more efficient, resulting in increased range (especially with start/stop
riding), has more starting torque, and has greater hill-climbing ability than a Direct-Drive motor of equal power rating.
