The most beautiful Tricycle ever imagined and built. I t takes my breath away just looking at it. I hope to arange to purchase one of these beauties in the not too distant future.This must be a recumbent bike although you dont mention it anywhere.

Now this is something to look at but also something to personally own! The look of a soapbox racer but as Bill posted above "a recumbent bike although you dont mention it anywhere". Please post more info on this one.

I hope they will add a clear cover for the cockpit to make it an all weather vehicle.

As far as I know there is something in the works.

It's pretty obvious it has two wheels up front and one in back. A bike would be cool though, but unless a hatch is provided for your foot, would probably need pop-out wheels / balance supports for the red lights.

any chance of an electric assist - for those long, steep hills and crossing intersections quickly?

Definitely. We will have BionX and EcoSpeed electric systems available.

Hediger (US GS Distributor) published that they first order had been shipped in early Dec. Any USA dealers with one? I have questions re. big foot heel clearance.

Most orders should be fulfilled in the spring.
If you have very large feet you may have to train yourself to pedal with you feet pointed forward some.
Posted by Ashley

Nice looking ride, Not sure my size 15s would fit even pointed forward. I d just about bet I d be able to find all the bears if I rode one though.

i do alot of cross country riding and was wondering if there was a cargo trailer in the works

It would be easy enough to come up with a hitch, but there are no matching trailers yet.
Posted by Ashley

For people that can afford one, what about making one that would support a slightly heavier rider? I myself am about 35lbs over the max weight limit for this, but would be so cool to own one.

It would be a lot easier for you to lose 35lbs than to design and build another version.
Posted by Ashley

Just how wide and how high off the ground is the opening of the Glyde?

I'll let you know if they ever actually send us one. I didn't take any measurements when we saw the prototype. My understanding is that quite a bit has changed from then anyway.
