It is called "The Chinkara", and was (is?) made by a dutch company, "Delft".. I think for about $5,000 USD. I don't think they make them any more.. Very rare, front wheel drive recumbant. There is a hinge in the middle which pivots right near the handlebars. The "Porche" of recumbant bicycles.

I just bought a used one. It is a very nice bike, the suspension is wonderful.

It is one of the few recumbents that can be ridden without hands. It has a 45 degree head tube which is unfortunate. It would have less low speed wobble with a more vertical head tube.

It would be interesting for a manufacturer to build such a bike. It sure would sell better.
