Hey Bruce, if you're still around, I was wondering if I could pick your brain about those axles you use on your fwd trikes. I'm trying to make a lightweight velocar/cyclecar and have been looking for something similar to what you've crafted.

Your trail videos are awesome & informative about all of the local Florida trails. Where I live currently we only have a few trails with decent scenery, but nothing like what you have in Florida. You have me very excited about riding all of the bike trails when we move there. I've been roller skating (real quad roller skates not those blades) & biking now more often for a few years now. I also do HIIT training on my home elliptical machine & also have an outdoor elliptical bike to get into better shape (I've done 21 miles on our trails on that beast a few times). I want to get into better shape before we move to Orlando in the future. I'm retiring from my job in a few years & am moving to Orlando to work part-time at Disney. Could you tell me some really close places to Disney where we could move where I would not have to cross I-4 to get to work (we are having trouble narrowing down where to search for a new house)? Are there other trails in the Orlando area that you could highlight in the future ? Thanks again for everything that you do with your channel.

What a great evolution since the S-327! I wonder though, why mechanical front brakes when hydraulics have so much better modulation, especially when running a dual set-up?

You have done some impressive engineering here and my hat goes off to you. That being said, there are so many possible ware and tare points of failure with so many store-bought parts that have been modified service would inevitably become a nightmare. If this trike is only for you're sole use I see no problem and say well done but if you intend on selling them I truly would have reservations. Its a beautiful bike none the less, well done. I hope over the years you have realized and addressed the concerns I have raised here as its an interesting design. There is a reason multi-wheeled front-wheel-drive anything has been a pain in the azz and that is because if its complexity vs rear-wheel drive. I'm in no way saying the rear-wheel-drive is better just it is simple with few points of failure. If you can produce quality standardized replacement parts to customers without delay I can foresee success but if not I foresee a lot of aggravated customers in your future.

Thanks for showing the CV shell! I want to build a front wheel drive quad bike / velomobil and been trying to figure out how a CV shaft works. Yours is really nice and compact. Beautiful machined. I'm hoping to find an affordable set of differential and CV shaft light enough for a quad bike. What I don't understand is that you have a CV joint (Rzeppa? Weiss?) on one side and a cardan joint on the other side. From what (little) I understand this wouldn't lead to a constant velocity shaft. Or you'd need a double cardan joint on the wheel side.

Did you cook up that suspension mechanism yourself, or did that come from elsewhere? If elsewhere, I'd sure appreciate knowing where that was.
@chuckeynewkirk1994 жыл бұрын
Its state-of-the-art computer aided engineering with a little finesse a whole new frontier but try to add the suspension and you add a ton of weight I like it slick lean with new Concepts that's my opinion no big deal

Hi David Bruce, your trike is great! i am planning to build a 4 wheeler in brazil myself. my traction will be rear. how did you do or find this differential axle and the transmission bars to the wheel? could you give me a hint? sorry for english and translation. thanks!
@supremeflagship89654 жыл бұрын
That is an awesome trike. I wonder, what are the advantages of forward wheel drive compared to a rear wheel drive setup? I suspect that you can't climb steep hills with this setup (while climbing hills 60% of trike + rider weight will be distributed at the rear wheel). So would it make sense to go 3WD (three wheel drive)?
@truthseek17904 жыл бұрын
Good thinking 99, if a little difficult to pull off! That would certainly cap off an already beautiful trike especially for those with traction problems in the snow..
