Action cameras have a wide angle lense which can give the wrong impression. His bars look like standard 42 or 44cm df drop bars. He states elsewhere that it weighs about 11kg.

It's not purely carbon but has steel and aluminum parts joined and wrapped in carbon. The one he rides in this video has a more straight, thicker carbon wrapped boom like a V or Silvio. Somewhere in the Italian recumbent forums he States it's about 11kg. He is also a fairly tall guy hence the...

I don't think one can generate that much power uphill on narrower bars. Even LarryOz was using wider bars for RAAM.

This guy is just amazing!! Nail biting stuff! Watch and be impressed! B.t..w it's a carbon DIY MBB recumbent, similar seat angles to a Silvio but a much lower bottom bracket, which explains the climbing. He explains somewhere else. Its about 11Kg This is a picture of an older version. He...

These guys (Marco Ruga and friend) with Carbon DIY MBB in Italy seem to be climbing upto 16% grades quite fine! check the video at about 3:21. His DIY has a much lower BB and the seat looks more upright like a Silvio.

I think all Short Wheel Base recumbents and trikes should have a chainring guard installed to protect both the chainring itself and other humans. They are easily available on ebay. I got one for my DIY recumbent.

It's a lowrider front bicycle rack mounted on the Silvio rear wheel facing backwards. (Probably the same idea should also work with a Vendetta.) He has some pictures on his facebook page:

Yes, the right arm is disabled and is supported on a special brace attached to the bike. Look carefully and you will notice. A man with a great determination to learn to ride a cruzbike with one hand!

:p drooling ! I Wish! I wish! I wish!

Probably he stops to drink? The bike also has front and rear derailleurs. I wonder how shifters are installed for both on the left hand?

If you look carefully at the video at 1:06 he even rides hands free in order to drink while riding !

Came across this video, very nice! He rides with one hand due to a disability. Amazing! I wonder how those panniers are attached considering the rear suspension! He says he used a front bicycle rack. Looks nice.

+1 .. and I might add, use pedals with cleats or toe clips. They make it a lot easier. You don't need to add anything to your bike to achieve this. This cruzbike design (aka MBB FWD) is inherently pedal steered. In fact, when first learning to ride it, you are basically countering(and fighting)...
