Why the LBR Glide?
The LBR Glide is designed to be fast and efficient. A low aerodynamic body and more reclined angle seat put the rider in the perfect position to generate power and speed.
With an attractive appearance, you can imagine yourself as a street hot rod. It is your loyal companion in everyday life and when traveling.
⚡ Electric-Assisted Freedom
With electric motor equipment, you can pedal and zip up hills easier — and cruise over tough terrains without gassing yourself.
Our electric trike comes with pedal assist (pedelec) mode. The throttle mode is optional if you need it.
🚴 Touring Components
Shimano 9-speed drivetrain, Shimano crank, BB7 disc brakes, special road tires, and an ergo-mesh seat allow a natural touring feel and longer distance riding.
The perfect combination of road-style crank and mountain bike cassette optimizes the recumbent trike’s practicality and climbing ability.
Key Design Features
🪑 Unique Suspension Seat
The unique suspension seat completely absorbs shock from all 3 wheels, delivering a comfortable and controlled ride on any surface.
💨 Aerodynamic Design
A low seat position and recline angle as small as 30 degrees minimizes frontal area and reduces aerodynamic drag — so you go faster with less effort.
🔵 Large 26-Inch Rear Wheel
The large 26-inch rear wheel provides dynamic propulsion, and the long wheelbase offers an incredibly smooth ride with more safety and greater rider pleasure.
🏗️ Unique Beam Design
The unique beam design with larger recline angle extends track width and wheelbase.
85 cm track width allows you to ride in a wider stance with more stable handling. It also allows for fat wheel installation and recumbent quad transformation.
🔧 Accessories Mount
Built-in mounting points for mirrors, lights, display, camera, and a handrail to help riders get on and off easily.
