AZUB recumbent tandem prototype again on road

Some of you may know that AZUB built a prototype of recumbent tandem few years ago. The idea was to test all technical details of common AZUB models under super difficult conditions. This tandem spent several months on expeditions with Eliska and Honza and appeared in countries like Hungary, Romania, Greece, Ukraine etc. Based on this experiences we have improved rear fork, under seat steering axle, steering rod and many other details.For more info about previous expeditions please visit Eliska´s and Honza´s personal page at www.eh-adventures.com

Since that time we have used the tandem only for short rides around Uhersky Brod where we are located, but now the tandem is again on very long expedition from Atlantic ocean to Bratislava in Slovakia. Riders are Thomas and Phillipe from France. Young son and father decided to experience the tandem riding and the Euro Velo route.

Here are some of their pictures from departu. More infor you can read on www.tandemcouche.fr, but unfornatenuly only in french. Updated pictures are on Pikeo.

AZUB Mini in Australia

Couple of months ago we received two nice pictures of AZUB Mini in Australia. We received them from our dealer in France called On Avance. They received these two pictures from their customer Pierre who used his nice recumbent for travel in Australia. We like them a lot so we publish them here.

Thanks Pierre for your pictures.

Azub Eco off-road test

We have received some very nice pictures from our friends who have tried the new Azub Eco recumbent off the roads. It was their first recumbent trip and it seems that they enjoyed it. It is impressive what they managed without previous recumbent experience.

Miro Ozimy – homebuilder with AZUB Mini

Recumbents has been my hobby for more than 10 years. I found and article about Radius recumbent in one old magazine and it was the first impact to think about recumbents. Since that time I have built couple of different bikes, trikes and trailers of different concepts. Couple of years ago I found the brand of AZUB BIKE. Their bikes are exactly what is my prefered type of recumbent, sou I used some of their parts to build up some of my next bikes but it was still not good enough. At the end I ordered AZUB Mini in black color and Avid disc brakes. In that time my youngest son was born so I also purchuased AZUB Jerry children trailer.

To increase the safety I built also front light with 12 V and I used a halogen light in combination with LED. The batteries are attached from the bottom of the rear rack. I ride pretty often in light terrain with my son so I have wide tyres on my Mini there. For fast ride on asphalt, I used Maxxis Hookworm, but later I bought the Schwalbe Marathon Racer which are in standard offer of AZUB. The guys in AZUB simply know why they use them. They are perfect. I have had the chance to test quite some different models of recumbent bikes, but AZUB Mini is a favorite one for me.
