Hey! My name is John and I am new to the group. I have been interested in recumbent bikes for years. I recently saw the flevobike "green machine" on the web...
Hi John, hi Flevofans, ... Right, only two at ligfiets.net: http://ligfiets.net/fietsen/type.php3?id=386 ... Yes, I have. Smooth cycling, a Rohloff hub that is...
Hi all, I noticed that on the drawings for the older Flevobike there is a one sided fork. Does anyone have experience with these? Good, bad, neutral? I am...
Do you know that in November 2004 there were 113 postings. Happy days then for sure. Things seem to have got a bit sad of late, I guess this is now mostly...
Hi together, well, you could say that the Flevobike is such a perfect bike that there's nothing to discuss anymore ;-) You asked if anyone has done any really...
... In two weeks it's possible to ride 2,000 km, in three weeks it's 3,000 km. Germany, partly hills and mountains, trying to use river valleys to climb onto...
Not a very good idea, conversion to a trike. I'm very pleased with my trike, but on slippery roads it's not the best choice. The larger part of the weight of...
I plan to convert my flevoracer to a trike, but I also plan to add electric to the rear wheels. That's so-that I can think about using it for my commute to...
Giles, I would be interested in an "flevobike adventure". In 2008 i have planned enough, adventures already, (Chernobyl/Ukraine) but for 2009 i am interested. ...
... True! The problem of insufficient drive was neglected by me. It's just common. Some rain on the street and the usual start at traffic lights fails, because...
I view an electric-trike version of a flevoracer as being a logical improvement over that of all current mopeds or scooters. First, it gets you in the right...
Hello to all from "sideways" country. I have no experience in snow. Santa Barbara gets some on the mountains, but we don't bike up there. I do have problems...

hi bikers, show your profile at whoisbike.com find out your friend around the world http://whoisbike.com 'connecting people in the world who love to bike' ...
Hi there, So far nobody could explain to me how to ride a flevobike ? I've experimented a bit yesterday (20km) but I'm quite sure I do it wrong, as I really...
... Lean to that side you want to bend. The weight of your head might be sufficient. Or stop pedaling, keep the leg on the inner side at its lowest position...
Fred, You need lots of training time to ride relaxed without any power on your arms.Shift te weight to the seat actively and make the curves by leaning in from...
... This is an excellent point! I'm doing it automatically, so I don't think of it any more ... Indeed it's not possible to stir with the legs. This would be...
Wow! 20km yanking the thing around with your arms! I just flew in from Brussels. Boy, are my arms tired! Ba-dum-dum! Figure eights are where it's at, I...

Hints on how to ride: Have you ever been water skiing? Have you ever used a kayak in river water? The riding of a flevo is similar to the action you need to...
Hi Fred, I'm riding a Flevobike racer since a few months, and still I need a strong grip on the handlebars. So don't worry, just ride as much as you can and...

Hi all, Thanks a bunch for the hints. I realize I've been hitting the streets quite fast. But then they say there's nothing like full immersion. More news...
G'day all, As the warmer weather has come upon us in Prince Edward County in Ontario, Canada, I have had some thoughts about my Cut n Bolt Flevo in the photo...
Hi Fred, here's another tip: fold down the angular metal gizmo that resides above the rear rubber block. This will enhance the bike's manouverability at slow...
I have not read all the posts, so maybe this was said already. I learned by taking the bike to a high school parking lot and riding no handed using the light...
I will have to look and see if my bike has one, what is that really for? Olaf Johansson <noll@...> wrote: Hi Fred, here's another tip: fold down the...
It's for setting the Flevobike into shopping-mode. You need the extra stability when you carry a plastic bag full of grocery in each hand. Seriously, I think...
I have heard that in initial design trials on the very early flevos that many different steering angles were tried. The results showed that small differences...
