Why Ride on Recumbent Bikes Instead of Other City Bikes?

Recumbent bikes are way more comfortable and a lot less strain on your hands, back and butt than other upright city bikes. The Pendolare’s 24” rear wheel gives you more traction and speed than other compact city bikes with smaller 20” wheels.  Our bikes are also more aerodynamic and a lot faster than other city bikes, especially when equipped with a front fairing!

The Bike Different Vélo – the perfect bike for your daily commute!

Kick Back, Relax, & Enjoy the Ride
