Proudly Made in America
The Linear LWB/USS Limo 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 80s.
The computer design is finished:

FEA tests show the strength of the New Linear Limo 3.0
Frame
The most fun part of this testing was attaching strain gauges and
accelerometers to the frame and a laptop computer behind the seat. The bike
was then raced through potholes, off curbs and up hills by a 240 lb rider.
After that we felt confident and loaned it to a 250 lb
rider who rode the Limo 800 miles then strapped on an additional 50 lbs of gear and rode from
Maine to Georgia. This Linear Limo 3.0 was was then shipped back to
Western NY and stripped to the frame
for a dye penetrant test looking for fatigue cracks. A certified
technicians report found that the New Linear Limo 3.0 passed nuclear specs.
The Linear Limo 3.0 has been shipping since
August 2006.

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.

Every Linear is fully assembled and test ridden before
being slightly disassembled and shipped to you. We dont
test ride them when the roads are not clean. 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.
