A Zoomer Elite to be precise. Wiz Wheels (wizwheelz.com) is a local bike manufacturer right here in Grand Rapids that makes some amazing Trikes (3 wheel recumbents) tadpole style. The tadpole style is the two wheels in front and one in back. I visited the showroom yesterday and test drove a couple of bikes. I was blown away. It's kind of like driving a go-cart. The really cool thing is that these bikes are built to order - mine will be ready in one week. I can't wait. Even though Wiz Wheelz is a local company, the bulk of their orders are from elsewhere. I'm told that they sell very little local. It kind of makes sense because they don't advertise locally at all. When I start riding, I'm sure I'll get a lot of stares. I've ridden recumbents for years and it's still a rare site to see somebody else riding a "bent" on the trails.
