NEW Linear Limo 3.0 LWB USS Recumbent Bicycle

Linear Recumbents in Western NY is proud to introduce the Linear Limo 3.0 Recumbent Bike in 2007!

We've listened to our riders' input and feedback and, as a result, we have redesigned an old favorite to bring the Linear Limo Recumbent Touring Bike into the 21st century. Still featuring a Long Wheel Base (LWB) with Under Seat Steering (USS) the Linear Limo LWB is the only aluminum recumbent with under seat steering made in the USA today.

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 80’s.

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 technician’s 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 don’t 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.
