Is there a list of recumbents made in the USA? I'd like to check out
some local makes while I'm there.

Don'f forget the ones that have been around for a while: Rotator in
Santa Rosa Ca makes bikes for other manufacturers in addition to their
own. Burley in Eugene Oregon is a big one.

I heard only weird people ride Earth Cycles - or wait, maybe that was
only people who have more than one Sunset AND a Dragonflyer.

Penninger builds trikes in St. Charles, IL.

Hostel Shoppe's store brand VOLAE is made in the USA, by Waterford in
Wisconsin. As mentioned, Easy Racers is also US made, but with the new
owners that may change. RANS builds some models in their Kansas plant.
I think all pre 1999 RANS were built in Kansas. The guy that owns my
LBS said that Haluzak was only supplying frames on a limited basis.
Lightning is a US builder, Bacchetta Aeros are US made. Visions were
made here too, but is now out of business. Earth Cycles Sunsets and
Dragonflyers were US made. Catrikes are built in Florida, and some
models of Whizwheels are made in the US, too. I think Greg Peek builds
his Longbikes here too.

Not a recumbent list, but a list with links of all(?) recumbent makers
worldwide can be found here: http://www.pedalkraft.de/hersteller.html

It's a German page, but that should not be a problem.

There are some, of course. I can't name them all, but try
www.hostelshoppe.com for some specs and photos.
