Recumbents come in many flavors and there is a learning curve that is a bit different for each style. You don't mention what region of the world you're located in, but I would suggest looking up any recumbent dealers in your area. If you have the space, you may want to consider a trying a recumbent trike. The learning curve for trikes is not steep at all. There's really no 'one size fits all' in the recumbent world which, I believe, is one of many reasons why they don't have greater acceptance. Good luck.
