Unlike many of the top bags for recumbent bicycles, the GreenMachine’s dedicated top bag does not have an integrated cover to slide it over the back support.

In order not to compromise the ventilation function of the mesh back support, we chose to use 2 click-on quick releases. This makes clicking on and taking off of the top bag easy, quick and very user friendly.

The capacity of the top bag is 20 l. On the inside of the flap you will find two small compartments with a zipper for little things like mobile phone, keys, wallet etc. At the side of the back support there is a special compartment for your laptop (max. 15.4” screen size) or an A4 portfolio. Furthermore the top bag capacity leaves ample space for other things like daily commuting stuff. The backside of the top bag has a bracket for assembly of a LED type taillight.

With the optional shoulder strap (€ 5,- extra charge) the top bag can be turned into a shoulder bag.

Suggested retailprice for the top bag: € 199,-* (incl. VAT)

The GreenMachine carrier is suitable for almost all cycle bags also combined with banana bags and the GreenMachine Topbag. The carrier can be adjusted in an angle so the seat and length of the bike can still be adjusted without damaging the carrier.

The diameter of the tubes is Ø10 aluminum. The place where the light has to be attached is suitable for most rear lights.

For both types of assembly we offer a small assembly set.
Option 1 for bracket type head lights, which includes 2 side supports + 8 nylon washers that need to be assembled on both sides of the bracket. Before assembling the supports the 2 flushed torxbolts have to be removed.
Option 2 for clamp type head lights, which includes 2 side supports + a 2-piece nylon spacer.

Assembly order option 1

• Assemble head light, 8 nylon washers, 2 side supports and 1 bolt (Torx type) + nut.
• Position the assembly unit over the holes in the bottom bracket covers. Insert the remaining 2 bolts (Torx type) in the holes and tighten.
• Lock the 2 bolts with 2 nuts.

Assembly order option 2

The same as option 1 but replace the nylon washers by 2-piece nylon washer 

Power supply

• Hub dynamo 
• Battery pack
• Head light with built-in battery pack.

The LH frame cover of the BB area has been equipped with a plug connector for the head light. The main frame has been equipped with a plug connector for a battery pack or a dynamo hub.

We recommend to use a LED type taillight. Most of these taillights have a bracket for assembly on the bicycle. Both the GreenMachine seat and top bag have an adaptor for these brackets.

The Sigma NiMH 6 V 4AH battery pack could be a very good choice for power supply. This battery pack can be assembled without any modifications and the need of tools.

Our telescopic front suspension is a Meks fork. The fork has been adjusted to be used in the GreenMachine (inside steering head tube).

The additional costs are € 275,-*

The lock bracket is suitable for most ring like locks. Most of them fit the GreenMachine, but as some models are too big and touch the back spring, it's recommended to try the lock first.

The GreenMachine is compatible with all 2-wheeled trailers. Depending on the type of hitch, you may have to modify the bracket for the hitch.

The company Ventisit has designed a specific seat cushion especially for the GreenMachine. The combination of the unique GreenMachine seat and the Venisit cushion achieve the highest level of comfort. The ventilation of the back of the GreenMachine seat was already at its optimal level, with the Ventisit cushion on the seat the ventilation of the seat itself is also optimal.  

This combination on a recumbent bike make a sweaty back and sweaty behind a thing of the past.

Battery life

Even though the battery has been provided with BMS (Battery Management System), which protects the battery from discharging too much or charging too much, the battery life can be further increased when you have a better understanding of Li-ion battery technology: 

A Li-ion battery will start decreasing in capacity directly after production. How fast this process will develop depends on a number of factors. A fully charged battery will age faster than a battery that is charged to 50%. Discharging the battery isn't recommended either. A Li-ion battery ages the least at a charge of about 40%.  The temperature of the battery is also very important in respect to aging. A Li-ion battery ages the least at 0°C /32°F. Any lower or higher and it will age faster. 

When the battery is not in use it's best to store it in the refrigerator (not in a freezer) and charged to about 40 % (2-3 leds)

When in use it's best not to charge the battery to full capacity (if possible). Charged to about 80-90% the battery will age significantly less than when it's fully charged. Charging the battery when it's at least 20% charged instead of at less than 20% is also better, if the last indicator is still lit, charge for about 2 to 2,5 hrs to get the best result.  

The battery is equipped with BMS. This monitors several parameters to make sure the battery has the longest life possible. The BMS is electronically protected at a maximum current of 4A. When the battery is short-circuited or is charged too high it will automatically shut the battery down and when the problem has been fixed will also turn it on again. .

The F-lite is a tire for anyone that wants to combine extra comfort, super light rolling resistance and a low weight. Despite it's width of 50mm the F-Lite, weighing in at 295 grams, is one of the lightest tires available in a size 20" 406.

This top of the line tire consists of a finely woven carcas(120tpi) with a high quality SPL (Sportex Protection Layer) anti flat-tire system under the tread. The SPL anti flat tire system combines the low rolling friction and low weight with a great anit flat tire function. 

The F-Lite is a foldable tire, which makes it the perfect spare tire. The F-lite has reflecting stripes on it's sides.
Suggested retail price is € 34,50.*
