Green Wheels  


When the Equator HD network's Green Wheels program asked Easy Racers to be part of their profile on human powered transportation we were happy to fill them in on what we're all about. Watch as Fast Freddy Markham gives their crew a factory tour, explains the benefits of riding a bike, and talks a little about some of his amazing feats and accomplishments aboard his favorite set of "green wheels."

This is a trimmed down clip but we'll try to get the entire 30 minute long episode up here in a few days.

 
 
Exploration... Made Easy

With summer's end just around the corner, many of you are surely facing the realization that it's your last chance to head out to whatever destination beckons you. What better way to explore your new surroundings than aboard a comfortable, reliable, coupled, Easy Racers Tour Easy.

The bike shown here includes a Javelin style T-Bar with a threadless cro-moly fork and a Chris King headset, our new Sprinter seat, a rear Avid BB7 disc brake. Broken down it'll all fit comfortably in a 26" x 26" x 10", airline-ready, suitcase.

Contact Us Today for more information on our one-of-a-kind, American made, bicycles.

 
Getting Creative

No matter what our friend Andy says, we know this bike is a lot more than the, "old junker," he claims it to be. What started its life as an ordinary Tour Easy has taken on a whole new look with some time, thought, and elbow grease.

The custom green paint job extends beyond the frame to the Carbon Fiber Fork. A custom made, yellow-rimmed, black-spoked wheel set gives the bike an incredibly elegant color contrast. It stops with a pair of interesting Campy brakes that we couldn't help but Snap a Picture Of. Throw in some brown leather "trim," matching anodized rear rack and HUD (head-up display) cover, our sleek Carbon Cobra Seat and top that off with a Modded PSP that acts as a navigation system and an mp3 player with its own speaker system and you've got a bike that rivals Alan Barnard's Tour Easy for sheer inventiveness.

And to think, it started out as a stock Tour Easy...

 
Ecobike Vatavio, Available Now From Easy Racers

As gas prices hit record highs and global awareness of our ever worsening climate crisis increases, it quickly becomes apparent that that there is a need for reliable, easy to use and, perhaps most importantly, affordable car alternatives. For situations where a long wheel base recumbent is less than ideal there's the Ecobike Vatavio to get you there in a hurry, and it's now available from Easy Racers.

It's so simple to turn the key and take off using either the handy electric throttle or just by pedaling with the power on, letting the electric assist kick in just as you need it. You can even kill the power completely and enjoy the Ecobike's incredibly smooth, solid feel, using it as an ordinary bicycle. A 290 watt motor and a 36 volt lithium-ion battery will provide up to 20 miles of power assist. The Vatavio has a top speed of 20 mph (plenty fast enough to get you where you need to go promptly and safely). Plug the battery into a standard outlet and you'll have a full charge within 4 to 6 hours.

At 49 lbs. (with the battery installed) the Ecobike Vatavio isn't at all difficult to move around but if you're in a pinch for space or need the perfect travel companion this incredible electric bike folds in just a few easy steps. The folded size is just 35" x 29" x 17". Even better yet, it comes complete with its own travel case. This ultra fun, environmentally friendly, bicycle is more than just a commuting tool, bike path cruiser or a globe trotter's best friend, it is the ultimate compact electric bicycle!

Place your order for the Vatavio at Our EasyShop and see for yourself why we're so excited about Ecobike!

 
The Sprinter Seat

Combining the best aspects of both the Koolback and the Cobra seat, the Sprinter is the latest seat design innovation from Easy Racers.

Built from a foundation similar to that of the Cobra, with a carbon fiber and fiberglass shell, then reinforced by a lightweight, ultra supportive aluminum frame and padded with a layer of high density foam, the Sprinter marks the next evolution in the design of our seats and gives Easy Racers riders exactly what they've been asking for.

Any Koolback user looking for a sportier, more efficient and compact option can simply swap out their Koolback seat back for a Sprinter Seat Back without having to replace the seat base that they already have. Having the two seat backs means you can easily choose the appropriate configuration for the conditions and the ride at hand, without the burden of a complete seat replacement. Cobra owners will find similar lightweight, racing-oriented performance from the Sprinter only with the much desired adjustable back angle and increased back support.

Update your bike with our most efficient seat to date at our EasyShop. Remember, Koolback owners can simply add the Sprinter Seat Back to the base that they already have. The Sprinter is also available as a Complete Seat and as a $55 upgrade to any new bike.

 

 
 
Why An Easy Racer?

 

An Easy Racers bicycle allows you to ride in a natural sitting position. No twisting of the spine, strain on your neck, or undue pressure on your wrists or crotch. Our bicycles allow you to ride in style and comfort while attaining remarkable speed. Easy Racers, Inc. is the acknowledged industry leader in the manufacturing recumbent bicycles. Gardner Martin, our founder, first sought to design comfortable, practical road bikes. And in the beginning there was the Gold Rush, the first streamlined bicycle to break 65mph!

After almost 30 years of doing business, the company has quite a fan base. Read our testimonials, and see just how passionate about Easy Racers our loyal customers are.

THE EASY RACER PURCHASE PROGRAM

Easy Racers is served by a nationwide network of reputable dealers. We always urge people who are interested in purchasing a new bike to visit one of these dealers for personalized attention. Dealers can help with sizing, options, color choices, and accessories, as well as answer most of your questions, one on one.

However, we realize that for some people, getting to a qualified dealer is just not possible that’s why we offer The Easy Racers Purchase Program. We’re at our best when it comes to selling our own products. We can walk you through the whole process, answer your tough questions, help you get sized and customize your order with different component packages and other options. If you need help deciding just what Easy Racers set-up is perfect for you, Fast Freddy Markham is usually available to answer to any questions you may have. If not, there will always be someone available to assist you and all of our sales people are knowledgeable and passionate about what they do.

Our bikes are fully assembled and fine tuned in the factory and shipped in two boxes. One box contains the frameset and the other box contains the seat and wheels. Our bikes can be fully assembled and ready to ride in as little as 15 minutes. All you have to do upon receiving your bike is insert the handlebar stem into the headset and tighten (we include the tools), put the seat, wheels and pedals on and you’re good to go. We include complete instructions and a helpful video detailing all the steps. EASY truly is the name of the game!

THE GUARANTEE

We’re so sure that you’ll enjoy your Easy Racers bicycle we’re giving you 30 days to try it out and be satisfied. If for some reason it doesn’t work out just send it back for a refund.
 
 
What Sets Us Apart?  

Easy Racers' recumbents have been successfully race proven since 1978, setting 19 world records in all kinds of different events from top speed to twisty road races. These American Made long wheelbase bicycles have been the choice of countless recumbent riders for decades. Nine frame sizes accommodate riders from 4'10” to 6’7”, making each bike a custom fit. All of our bikes are available in either Speed and Sport or Expedition variations. A Speed and Sport model has narrower tires, a 20" (451mm) front wheel and normal road bike gearing. An Expedition model comes with fatter tires, a 20” (406mm) front wheel and mountain bike gearing.

Our handlebars are cleverly designed to serve as fairing supports. An Easy Racers fairing (by Zzip Designs) is simple to install and less expensive than those made by other manufacturers. Adding a fairing really makes one of these bikes fly. Order a body sock and it’s a rocket ship!

What Makes Easy Racers Different:

  • The best high speed handling
  • Stiff, strong frames
  • Incredibly comfortable seats
  • Made in our factory, right here in Freedom, California
  • Almost 30 years of heritage and pedigree
  • Nine frame sizes for a better fit and better overall balance
  • Custom order packages
  • Simply the finest craftsmanship available on any bicycle being made today
