Thoughts from the builder of a recumbent bike.

The Berserker Tricycle embodies a radical new design in recumbent tricycles, utilizing a long travel suspension system to increase its off-road effectiveness. The Berserker Tricycle is the first of its kind to be specifically designed for off-road use—it is engineered to withstand the added stress and abuse from rugged terrain. The Berserker Tricycle offers a unique off-road cycling experience for all riders, but especially for people with back problems or related injuries that make traditional cycling uncomfortable. The recumbent design of the Berserker Tricycle repositions the rider. This allows for a more natural seated position, which tends to be more comfortable for riders when compared to a traditional bicycle.
