Glad to hear you are back riding after your accident. I have both bikes and can share my experience. My first 2 wheel recumbent was a Freestyle and I absolutely loved riding that bike. However, after a few years, I noticed pain in my leg after about 15 miles or so and I attributed that to circulation issues due to the height of the bottom bracket in relation to my torso (heart). I've played around with several seat adjustments and have had a difficult time finding that sweet spot. I'm an amputee and it only affected my amputated side but the pain that the lack of circulation caused took the joy out of riding the bike. I transitioned to CB and have had no such issues. The bottom bracket is lower and that took care of the issue for me. I still have my Freestyle as I haven't sold it yet so if interested, I can do a side by side comparison and send pics and measure the difference in the BB heights. If you decide to make a move on the S40, once you get use to the moving bottom bracket, it's a pleasure to ride.
