The HighRoller is a performance recumbent that combines simplicity with
efficiency for those who want to ride in comfort without sacrificing
speed. Because of the aggressive seating position and higher bottom
bracket, you will be able to put your entire effort into the cranks and
hit the corners without slowing down. The HighRoller is lightweight and
aerodynamic, so you will shave time off of your commute, or just
hit the streets and leave other cyclists far behind.
The
HighRoller is extremely easy to ride, with nimble handling and very good
braking. The higher seating position allows safer visibility in city
traffic, without sacrificing aerodynamics. The full back seat is very
comfortable and supporting, yet allows the rider to turn back and
side-to-side to assess
any traffic conditions easily. Handlebar position is very relaxed, and
all controls are placed in a position that makes them easy to reach and
operate.
This project lends itself well to customization due to the simple mono
boom frame construction and use of standard bicycle parts. The simple
mono boom frame design is both efficient and easy to build, so even a
novice welder will be able to complete this project in a few days. For
shorter riders, the option of replacing the larger wheels with 24 or
even 20 inch wheels is not a problem, as the geometry will remain
constant. If you feel the need for speed, and want to commute safely and
visibly, the HighRoller is for you!
