I saw a 3-wheeled, stand-up, recumbent
Only got a glance of it- I was riding one way/he was riding the other.
It had three wheels; two in the front. They looked to be about 20". The rider was standing & pedaling. Thats all I know. Ive never seen anything like it- has anybody else? I dont know where else to put this thread. |
Streetstrider?

Its not recumbent if you are standing up.

IIRC, it had chainrings |
When a recumbent isn't undignified enough, there's the Elliptogo:

It's definitely a workout device, not practical transportation. I don't think I've ever seen one being used on a road. They appear to be rather difficult to steer with any precision, much worse than skateboards, for example. |
I didnt know what else to call it. On the basis of your 'I think' description, perhaps an 'elliptical trike'. 2017-01-13 - Kickstand Comics featuring Yehuda Moon I've seen a fair amount of them on MUPs. ... They appear to be rather difficult to steer with any precision... |
As others have said, "recumbent" literally means "reclined." At minimum the rider has to be sitting in a seat with feet in front to qualify. That Street Strider was a trike, in the 'tadpole' configuration. (Tadpoles are wide in front and have a narrow tail.)

To the point that if I see one coming, I pull off the MUP. Operators are generally swooping and lurching all over the trail, and this seems to be acceptable public behavior here in Parts Unknown.

Here's the Yehuda Moon Link:

I thought the whole basis for the name elliptical/elliptigo was the pattern the pedals followed. This model just looks like a bicycle with no seat.
A third type of motion is the teardrop motion on the Cyclete. Otto |

When your brakes fail, you can simply squat and clamp down on the rear tire with your butt cheeks. Instant E-brake win!
Speaking of brakes, I'm pretty sure I would not enjoy riding one of those downhill. |
