We find it is a great place to have a one on one conversation, get some exercise and some fun at the same time. The Screamer models are our favorite recumbent tandems. We live in pretty hilly country, so climbing ability and high-speed stability and control are particularly important to us. In a flatter area this would be less of an issue. Fast winding down hills are a thrill on this bike.
Remember to plan ahead at high speeds, any tandem will take longer to stop or avoid an obstacle than on a single bike. The lateral of the frame gives very predictable handling, a real asset at high speeds. The two V-type brakes & the rear disk provide good of stopping power when dry, be more cautious when it’s wet out. You could upgrade the rear disk brake with a hydraulic caliper to improve wet weather stopping. Remember, the hydraulic lines do not come apart easily for disassembling and packing a Screamer TR frame. We think the Screamers are the highest performance, best climbing & most stable recumbent tandems we have ridden. The Sun EZ tandem is comfy and stable but not as maneuverable, not a good climber and harder to transport.
The Screamers seat comfort is excellent; we consider it the
standard for comfort. The RANS seats are widely regarded as the best seats
in the industry. They allow much recline adjustment and have probably the
best lower back support available. On the Screamer you are close together,
making conversation a bit easier in traffic. There is a down side to this.
When the front is adjusted for me (6'3" & full recline) a stoker may hit
their toes or shins on the captain's seat. Water bottles or a seat bag on
the front seat would interfere with the stokers pedaling. Couples with a
shorter captain won’t have to worry about this and may even have room to
mount bottles and/or a seat bag on the back of the captain’s seat.
