The Best Gear Hub for your Trike!
We get a serious evaluation of the top two internal gear hubs for your trike. Mel from RecumbentPDX breaks it all down comparing the Rohloff and the new 3 X 3. Then our German correspondent Jascha Buettler takes us to Dronten in the Netherlands for the 25th anniversary celebration of Velomobiel.nl. Our pal Marshall Randall and wife Kelle are the new owners of Recumbent Cycle-Con. They are with us to share the exciting details of next year's event. Finally, Larry Varney returns with a review of the e-Lightning P-38. 00:00:00 Intro 00:00:31 What’s on Today’s Show 00:02:20 Panel Introduction 00:04:10 Sponsor Introduction 00:14:00 Mel Birge from RecumbentPDX compares Internally Geared Hubs 00:53:17 Jascha Buettler covers Velomobile.nl 25th Anniversary event in Dronten, Netherlands 01:01:30 Larry Varney reviews the e-Lightning electric assisted recumbent bike 01:17:20 Marshall and Kelle Randall new owners of Recumbent Cycle-Con talk about its return in 2026 01:31:30 Sponsor Thanks 01:34:10 Announcements 01:35:55 Goodbye to panel and crew Please subscribe to us on YouTube (https://goo.gl/CHOOgX) and Like us on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/laidbackbikereport/) if you haven't already done so.
