Spezi 2019 Videos
In depth interviews and ultra close up shots from most of the recumbent exhibitors at the world's largest laidback bike exposition. This year we've focused on the bents themselves including all the news and updates surrounding them. Over 20 manufacturers are interviewed as our cameras get up close and personal with each product mentioned. Thanks to our sponsors this year for making this report possible. Trident Trikes was again our Major Sponsor and the following were Patron Sponsors exhibiting at Spezi: Bambuk, Hase Bikes, HP Velotechnik International, ICE Trikes, TerraCycle Inc., TrikExplor, and Veloks. We also had the following wonderful Patron Sponsors who did not appear at Spezi: Angletech, Avenue Trikes, Bent Revolution, Bent Up Cycles,Connecticut Yankee Pedaller, Inc., Falco e-Motors, Hostel Shoppe,Jersey Bents, LLC, Recumbent & Tandem Rider Magazine, Recumbent Cycle-Con Trade Show & Convention, Recumbentpdx,

We're often asked, "What else goes on at Spezi besides the booths and the interviews?" Here is a short look at our 2019 visit to the world's largest recumbent event through the eyes of our own videographer Lars Komm.

This iconic bent haven is located right on the Withlacootchee trail in Florida and has just about everything a bent rider could want.

Video from our Manufacturer Visits

Mark Swanson and Mike Wilkerson are our hosts as we visit the St. Petersburg home of Bacchetta Cycles. We have a look around the shop and hear about the CA 3.0, the Pelso Brevet and their new trike the CT 2.0. Finally, I take a test ride on the sweet new all carbon trike that was Swedish designed and now modified for the American market. Videography by Tray Bourgoyne.

Owner Tom Flohr leads us on a tour of the historic building now housing Trident Trikes (http://tridenttrikes.com/). We get to test ride a couple of trikes on the trail and through the streets of Lincolnton, North Carolina completing a great visit of Trident Trikes. Videography by Marilyn Solomon.

Our cameras were given special access to the factory floor at Catrike in Orlando, Florida. General manager Mark Egeland walked us through the highly efficient trike manufacturing process step by step as we learned about all the remarkable machines, engineering and craftsmen responsible for building your next trike. We think this tour of the award winning small business will be as fascinating to watch as it was to make. Videography by Tray Bourgoyne.
