You’ll be surprised. On a recumbent bike with a well-designed steering geometry, you can start riding in an instant and feel safe in a few minutes. No comparison to when you learned to ride a bicycle as a child. Look for a street without much traffic (and without many spectators) and just give it a try. For a more relaxed recumbent test ride, we recommend renting a test bike or trike from one of our dealers for a few days. For some beginners, a bike with an upright sitting position and above seat steering is more familiar for a start. In any case, try a more reclined seating position and an under-seat steering if you can after some time. It is also an advantage if the seat and handlebars both are adjustable. You can easily get started with a vehicle like the recumbent trike HP Velotechnik Scorpion, as balancing on two wheels is a thing of the past with this stable tricycle.
