3. How do you cycle on an Easy Sport recumbent trike?

The Easy Sport is different from a traditional tricycle. Because of its unique frame, the recumbent trike has a low entry level. In addition, on the Easy Sport you pedal forwards, which allows you to exert more force with your legs than when you sit above the crankshaft and pedal downwards. The handlebars of the Easy Sport are also different from traditional tricycles. The handlebars of the recumbent trike are positioned under the saddle. You can easily hold the understeer with relaxed arms. See all the unique riding characteristics of the Easy Sport in the article and video 'Recumbent bike Easy Sport unique riding characteristics'.
