Spotted on the A7 heading south yesterday, sun the 28th . I was in the truck , got a friendly wave and I tooted back , hopefully perceived as friendly . Anyone of this parish? Very interesting looking machine, and fast !!! I followed at approx 20 mph and the riders, SEEMED. Very relaxed ! By the time I had delivered my load and was heading north , no sign to be seen , I was going to stop for a blether !!

Similar to our demo at shop and the same model we took to Scandinavia for 16 days last year. Genuinely made in Europe with frame fabricated in Alten NL.
Just sold another one a few weeks ago.Another Edinburgh couple used one last year to cross USA.
https://rollingrolling.wordpress.com/It's a brilliant design - test rides on the back welcome. No tandem or recumbent experience required.

@splitshift yes that was us - just finishing up our regular Sunday loop round Innerleithen and over the Granites. We live in Stow which is why we probably missed you on your return journey.
You can fairly motor on the flat and it's a monster on the downhills, but if you'd seen us puggling up the Granites into a nasty headwind we were going a fair bit slower! It weighs over 30KG so it requires some grunt on the hills.
We've had it 2 years now and I like to say in terms of amount of fun per pound spent, it's probably the best value investment we've ever made.
