The Electrom is designed to be seen. Many recumbent bikes are super low in order to be aerodynamic but this makes them hard to see in traffic.
Because the Electrom was designed from the ground up to be electrified, we knew that we could take advantage of the extra power to make it higher and therefore, more visible. This coupled with modern super bright LED lights allowed us to design a recumbent bike that is at eye level with most other road users, and very hard to miss due to the full complement of LED lights.
The Electrom comes stock with a 3000-lumen headlight, COB LED taillight & brake light strips, and front and rear turn signals. There are also optional COB LED cowling lights.
For those looking to find out more about the Electrom Project, Gary Salo from the Laidback Bike Report asked some great questions in this 45-minute interview.

We’ve put the new Electrom through several months of testing so far, and we thought it was time to see how the new tires handle looser conditions. The new wider rims, combined with the beefy Heidenau K46 dual-purpose tires have proven to be amazing.
It’s been a long time coming, but we finally have an update on the progress toward new bodywork and the next version of the Electrom.
The new bodywork will be more refined looking, and as it will be vacuum-formed polycarbonate and ABS plastic, it will allow us to keep the costs lower than the previous hand-made carbon fiber bodywork.
We will be having the molds for this bodywork made over the next few weeks and hope to have samples soon. We hope you like it. More to come soon.
Take a ride along with the Electrom on a busy bike path to see how the GCD helps you exercise while traveling at speeds safe for the conditions.
Dan came all the way from Minneapolis to test-ride the Electrom. Here’s A 24-minute video that details the features of the Electrom and demonstrates the learning experience of a new rider.
