Why a Recumbent ETrike Can Replace the Recumbent Bike at the Gym: A Better Way To Exercise Outdoors

Why a recumbent electric tricycle can replace your recumbent bike at the gym. Hey everyone, I'm Dustin. I have nearly 20 years of experience in the bike and e-bike industry. Today we're going to talk about why a recumbent electric trike can replace the recumbent bike at the gym for you. Right here, I've got the Simple Glide Fat Tire 750 Watt Recumbent E-Trike. This thing is awesome. Great way to get out, get exercise, stable and balanced. Millions of Americans I'm guesstimating, but I'll say millions of Americans use recumbent bikes at the gym all the time. Many also have recumbent bikes at home. Now, I'm here to say that a recumbent e-trike can replace that and have more benefits. So if you're not familiar with electric tricycles, they typically will have a motor that can assist you either while you're pedaling, or oftentimes they have throttles like on the Simple Glide. Now, you can utilize the throttle and go without pedaling, or you can pedal and decide how much assistance you get from the motor. Typically, e-trikes will have five levels of assistance. So level one gives you the least, and level five gives you the most. Just like on the Simple Glide, those are the options for this one. On your recumbent bike at the gym, you also have the ability to increase or decrease your resistance. So the same is true on a recumbent e-trike. You can dictate the resistance to how much or how little you want. The beauty of an electric trike is you don't have to worry about powering it. So if you are concerned about your leg strength, and that's why you're working on a recumbent bike at the gym to build leg strength, you can do it on the recumbent trike. If you don't want to pedal at all, you can use the throttle, or you can put it in the highest level of assistance, and the trike will do most of the work. You just have to move your legs in a circle. So you don't have to worry about you having the strength to move the trike forward. I have a feeling that's why many people opt for the recumbent, they're maybe fearful that they can't get the trike going on their own. Now let's talk about balance as well.

The beauty of a recumbent bike at the gym is that you're not moving, you don't have to worry about balancing or falling off. Well, introduce recumbent e-trikes, you can tell by looking at the Simple Glide. It's got 4-inch wide tires, a great length to keep it stable, and a nice width as well. You also have a seat on this, and oftentimes other recumbent trikes do, resembling the seat you'll find on a recumbent bike in the gym. Nice back support, nice butt support. You have armrests here as well. It keeps you nice and safe in the seat while you're riding. You don't have to worry about falling off. In addition to that, recumbent e-trikes are incredibly stable. With the longer frame, also with a wider tire like this, tipping is almost a non-threat. Now, especially if you're controlling your speed, you will not have any issues at all. I have a feeling many people go to the recumbent bike because they can no longer stay balanced on a two-wheel bike. So, if you can't stay balanced on a two-wheel bike, you can get on a trike, a recumbent e-trike, just like this. Not only that, but now you can be outside getting your vitamin D, being in the outdoors, and enjoying yourself as opposed to having to be indoors and be on the recumbent bike at the gym. So I feel like the health benefits are actually so much greater. You can do all the same things on a recumbent e-trike with the electronics that come with it that you can do on the recumbent e-bike at the gym. Choose your resistance. Go as fast or as slow as you want.

Enjoy the ride and be comfortable the whole time that you're doing it. So that's why I'm advocating that recumbent e-trikes can replace the recumbent bike at the gym.
