Recumbent cycles are ideal for individuals with limited core strength and overall balance stability. The cycles sit low to the ground to lower the riders center of gravity which, in turn, provides stability and aids the rider in keeping their balance. Recumbent cycles are also equipped with a chair type seat that aids the rider in keeping correct posture during the ride. The JT-2300 USS features a cool mesh seat with a removable foam seat and back cushions. The seat also includes built-in lap and chest straps for added stability.
To lessen impact on the ankles and knees and prevent injuries, the feet are outstretched in front of the body instead of below. Overall recumbent cycles are an excellent way for users of all athletic abilities to have a low impact workout with reduced joint pain.
The AmTryke JT-2300 USS Recumbent Foot Cycle with Under Seat Steering is designed with the steering system coming from under the seat rather than being connected to a steering column over the front tire. This design is ideal for users that do not have the ability to hold their arms outstretched for lengthy periods of time. Having the control handles closer to the body prevents riders from having to extend their arms to reach the handles or lean their bodies forward.
The JT-2300 USS has one 20-inch front wheel and two 20-inch rear wheels that feature smooth tread pneumatic tires designed for use on paved roadways and trails. The freewheel hub allows riders to coast to conserve energy. However, due to this feature, riders must be advanced or closely supervised while riding the JT-2300 USS cycle.
