Recumbent Black Friday
Recumbent bikes are products with a relatively high price and value, which are rarely bought spontaneously, and are usually used by their owners for many years. That’s why you won’t find too many discounts that apply to them. But since it’s Black Friday today, we’ve at least got some deals that might interest you.
Catrike has increased prices by 200 USD
Catrike has announced an increase in prices today due to higher costs for transportation and materials. The reason is the pandemic, of course, and the sharp rise of components’ prices.
Catrike Eola discontinued
The entry-level Catrike called Eola has been discontinued due to overall high demand and a need for more production capacity for other Catrike models.
