Check the Statistics and Data below the video. The artist is "Portugal, The Man", the song is "How The Leopard Got Its Spots".

20-25kph is not really fast , i manage that on my regular bike with ease. I thougt recumbent were able to go faster? If i really hit is i could do 24kph as an average speed!

[FlevoMartin]

20-25 is quite comfortable and in hilly terrain. Recently I managed 32kph on 61km with a few cities I had to go through and two fully loaded panniers.

With this kind of trailing front arm , you should dive a lot when braking with the front brake only , don't you ? Avec ce type de bras oscillant a l'avant , vous devez plonger bcp au freinage avec le frein avant seul , non ?

[FlevoMartin]

It's quite okay actually. At least the steering geometry is almost not influenced and the spring characteristic of the rubber block of the suspension is progressive. I would have to make video of it ;-)

Ok, that's pretty fast indeed. I think i'm getting a recumbent as well because of the added comfort and speed :)

[FlevoMartin]

Comfortable cruising speed is around 20-25kph. With more effort 30 is possible but without overstatement the first one is more realistic. The Flevobike scores especially on roads with many small bumps. There it's faster than my semi low racer.

What was your speed on straight segments of the road on flevobikes? I'm just thinking if to buy such bike and the main reason for that would be easy riding with high velocities.
