The Gekko is incredibly well engineered and turns well. I really appreciate the thought that you put into the gearing system. Also, to get to the race would have been impossible with my previous trike. We are car-free. It was a simple matter to put the folded Gekko into the trunk of an Uber XL. I am also able to ride further with a smoother ride. I felt like the 5K was too short. In the Fall I am planning on a 10 mile race.
I came to Robert with the desire to upgrade my trike. It took a lot of thought. Robert was incredibly patient while I worked my process. Finally it became financially possible and he answered a million questions. Plus finding a friend who was willing to deliver my Gekko to NJ.
Thank you again.

It is a pure and simple joy to ride a recumbent trike.
A large portion of our customers have disabilities of various types and use recumbent trikes and bikes for occupational therapy, rehabilitation and recreational therapy. If you have a disability and are looking for a recumbent trike (3 wheels) or bike (2 wheels), we can work with your doctor or other health service provider to assist you.
Occupational Therapy and Recreational Therapy
If you are an occupational or recreational therapist and would like to add recumbent tricycles or bicycles to your practice, we can assist you, too. We work with recreational and occupational therapists in private practice, in clinics and in U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”) hospitals.
For more information about occupational therapy and to help find a credentialed occupational therapist, visit the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA). For more information about recreational therapy, visit the American Therapeutic Recreation Association.
RB, who writes a blog called Three Wheeled Librarian wrote this nice entry about the trike she bought from New York City Recumbent Supply in early Spring.
Ready to roll
Thursday was an amazing day for multiple reasons. Clearly, the weather was amazing. A gift of a Spring day before winter returned. I took delivery of a new tricycle on Thursday. I now have a HP Velotechnik FX 20 Gekko. I bought it from New York City Recumbent Supply. Thank you, thank you to Robert for his patience, while I worked through my process to get to this point.
Thursday was amazing. I rode a total of 8.6 miles, partly because my GPS malfunctioned at one point and I went round and round in circles. Very comfortable.
The best thing about the Gekko is that it’s housebroken. It folds. It is, right now, parked in a corner of my living room, not outside in the snow that has returned to haunt us. Where can I go to complain about it being really too cold to ride?
