I seen them, looks like if you break a part on it ,would be hard to replace from a bike shop. Im looking at a Recumbent that's made by Rans Called the Fusion which looks really cool! http://www.ransbikes.com/ITRFusionEvolution.htm

Wish i could help, but i have never had a RowBike

I have had a row bike since they first came out. It is well built. fun to ride and gets lots of attention. Going up hill, there is a great deal of resistence, on level ground you don't get much of a workout. You CANNOT take one hand off the handlebars, even for a second, you WILL crash if you do. If I had it to do again, I would have invested that money (600.00) in a recumbent.

I tried one a few weeks back. Took about 15-20 minutes to get going. Was fun. The owner goes on th road and does 10 miles in about an hour. Was different, thats for sure.

Question Re: Has anyone tried a ROWBIKE?

Been interested in rowbikes for a while.

Do you want to sell the one you have ?

Where are you located ?

Thanks,

Frank
