Bacchetta Pronto Due Recumbent Tandem

We are expecting our first batch of tandems to ship to us at the end of August. You can place your deposit here for one of these beautiful tandems. Once we receive your deposit, we will reach out to you to discuss specs, components, and answer any other questions you may have. All pre-ordered tandems will ship by air to ensure you get yours as quickly as possible.

The Pronto Due (Rapid Two) electric assist tandem features everything you love about recumbent cycling, but gives you twice as much fun along with a boost! Our goal was to build a beautiful recreational/touring tandem with lower seats for easy riding, but large wheels for a smoother, faster ride. Mission accomplished!

You've come to expect bespoke attention from Bacchetta, and the Pronto Due delivers with choices in top-notch components from Velocity USA, Rohloff, SRAM, and TRP. Choose both seats - for those that want comfort in the most upright position (ideal for the stoker), choose the classic Recurve seat. If you want to recline a little more and save 1.5 pounds at the same time, the B3 seat will work perfectly for you. The captain can choose from the comfortable B3 seat or the sportier Euromesh seat that is a pound lighter. Finally, choose your favorite color to make the bike truly yours.

The Pronto Due recumbent tandem from Bacchetta features the amazing Motinova Migic C.1 mid-drive electric assist system to give you a little (or alot!) more "umph" to get up to speed or climb those steeper climbs. 250w and 75Nm of torque provide more than enough power for all of your riding needs. The 17.5Ah battery will keep you going on rides up to 50 miles (depending on terrain, power usage and total weight). This "no throttle" system senses the torque you apply while pedaling to ensure a smooth, natural-feeling ride. And with all the cables routed internally, you maintain the sleek look of your favorite bike!

The Bacchetta Pronto Due can be loaded up with a variety of accessories to meet your riding needs. Carry up to four panniers with the Universal Rear Rack and/or the Terracycle EasyReacher under seat rack. Kickstands, fenders and mirrors are readily available. And for shorter, day rides, Bacchetta offers a variety of bags.

We charge a flat rate of $369 for shipping via freight in the Continental US. Shipping to Canada is a flat $629, but does not include and duty and fees you may be charged.

The bike comes about 75% fully assembled - it will be broken in half and you will need to put it back together, including installing the timing chain and installing the seats. Finally, adjust the seat/handlebars to your liking and go for a ride with your favorite person!

A final note about ordering bikes on our website: We will always call you after you place your order to discuss your build, make sure all of the options are correct and ensure that it is the right bike for you. If we need to make changes, additions or cancellations, we will happily do that - we want to make sure you are happy with your new bike. We will NEVER just ship out a bike without a conversation
