I own a bike e at and love it. I had two of them, one black and one blue and my ex has the other one I think unless she gave it away. If you can find one I say go for it, but anything bike e made was very well thought of and built.  Not sure why they went under, but they had a good product in my book. I have never ridden a bike e tandem but have ridden tandems. And as long as the other person is putting the same leg power as you are or close to it then it should be fun. If you do get this bike make sure you get it with a sweet seat. I myself have a bad back and lately I been putting about 2 or 3 hours a day on it. And going up a hill used to be a bare and now I don't even breath hard anymore, so I know I'm getting in a little shape. My bike e is so comfortable I never get tired of riding it. And once you get on one you will see what I mean, its a very relaxing feeling. Good luck and hopefully you will find one. Jimmi
