What is STEALTH? A SECRET WEAPON to transport you comfortably on long trips, not possible with any other bicycle.

Experience true recumbent bicycle comfort, fun, safety and performance with the STEALTH! These traits are ensured by a seat design and frame geometry, similar to the legendary Lightning P-38. All Lightnings are designed by experienced engineers; using data gained from two decades of top level HPV racing around the world, almost 20 world records, and feedback from hundreds of Lightning owners. No other recumbent bicycle company has this level of technical expertise and real world experience.

This brain trust has designed into the STEALTH a very comfortable ride, superb stopping and handling characteristics, a high cruising speed, and exceptional durability. The resulting overall performance of the STEALTH far exceeds all other comparably priced bicycles, and many costing hundreds of dollars more. Also a fairing, bags, and many accessories are available for the STEALTH.

If you are a recreational, touring or commuting cyclist who is not looking to set world records, but instead wants a fun to ride, good performing, comfortable bike for short or long trips, the STEALTH is it!
