Linear Limo
3.0 LWB USS Recumbent Bicycles
2010 is the 5th year the Linear Limo 3.0 Recumbent Bike has been in
production.
Since 2001 we have been listening to hundreds of Linear owners who have
ridden their bikes up to 80,000 miles. We took their experience and feedback
and using the latest engineering technology we redesigned the Linear
Recumbent Bike. The result; is The Linear Limo 3.0 ~ a world class
commuting, day tripping and touring bike.
Linear Recumbent Bikes are
Engineered in the USA and
Made in the USA
Still a Long Wheel Base (LWB)
recumbent with Under Seat Steering (USS) the Linear Limo LWB now comes
standard with the excellent RANS seat and is the only aluminum recumbent
with under seat steering made in the USA today.

The Linear Limo LWB/USS recumbent is made in Alfred Station NY. If you want
to enjoy comfortable transportation and low impact, outdoor exercise again
the Limo Recumbent Touring Bike is a prime candidate. Linear owners have
been riding their bikes around town and cross-country since the 80’s.
The Linear Limo 3.0 has been shipping since August 2006.

I would recommend the Linear LWB to first time bent buyers. Peter has made a
lot of improvements to the design--more rigid, less noisy, better braking,
and safer.
Enjoy the big grin. |

"I have now done several rides on my new
Linear Limo. Everything works well! I really like the bar-con shifters,
and the gearing on the 3.0. The accessory mount is sweet and with the
fenders mounted I'm ready!
FYI, the USS is just the ticket for me. I've had several RANS bikes, as
well as a Tour Easy, and as nice as they were, I was always seeing
handle bars. The ergonomics of the USS system is also better to in my
opinion."
~ Gary R.
Every Linear is
fully assembled and adjusted. If the roads are not messy they are each test
ridden. They are then slightly disassembled and shipped directly to you. We
would be glad to email pictures to help you with the re-assembly.
If you prefer we can ship your Linear to a bike shop near you for final
assembly.
