Great thread.
Not a "real" motorized bicycle rider as it is just a means 2 an end. My passion is flying my old paramotor. It's only 80cc, so I need 2 stay light 2 get off the ground. Since my wife and I camp at fly ins, I wanted a powered tandem 4 her and another wife 2 go play on, while I played "up". Hence, my Bikee E2 tandem/GX35/ NuVinci Developer's Kit recumbent. It's totally non kit, as anyone can C when gawking at it in the YMCA bike rack. It goes in the back of the truck, behind the paramotor, and we tow a little Casita travel trailer.
My work has me in Iraq/Kazachstan/Yemen, wherever, 4 5 weeks, then back here in south St. Louis 4 5 weeks off. So, when I'm home, we camp, fly, and ride the little buzz bike. Also cruise south St. Louis together - when there's no snow!!
I'll move over the overlong build description and vids from that "other" forum soon.
