Modular Recumbent Tricycle 2013

[@Abrect]

*Hello everyone! Thank you for your kind comments on this video.* *CHECK-OUT OUR 2 NEW VERSIONS OF THIS TRIKE, BUILT IN 2019!* *Follow this link:* kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5_Fp5-Kd618idU

[@databanks]

yeah, just noticed the link is still live, unlike most other innovative recumbents I see on youtube. I like the updated version as well, it's coming along nicely. Do you have any Australian distributors yet?

[@slurryoffagrape]

Outstanding.... Pure genius originality and quite inspiring, to say the least. Ignore the pathetic detractors who couldn't build a wheelbarrow.... Anyone who has ever fabricated anything, especially as amateurs in home workshops, will respect the huge effort and thinking that has gone into this. I, for one, salute you. {:o)

[@mist27here]

On a scale of 0_100 I give it 85 Some of the design Ideas are absolutely first class Great job

[@brianmck4]

Your not failing. Your learning. The best way a mind can with a problem. By getting stuck in. Build a new model , refine, adjust and change were need be. Never look at any of your designs as failures, so much as learning or you will distract your perspective on finding solutions. Excellent stuff.

[@latebloomer6957]

Like your comment , you sound more intelligent than wordzenpix .....one learns from making mistakes ...hope that dumass worzenpix learns something from his stupid comment

[@wordzenpix]

Grey Owl Mr. Owl, I can't fathom how a simple compliment could set you off on such a rant. I see you're concerned about a accident causing a burden on the healthcare system. I'd be glad to contribute a small sum to assist you in mental health counseling. Relax, for heaven's sake. Life is short, the trike designer is having fun and sharing it. That's creative and positive. Chill.

[@latebloomer6957]

relaxing is fun , but getting hit by an idiot is not , doctors don't need more stupid patients I will relax by not going to toronto . the sum would be more appreciate with a relaxing drink with you or whatever else you use to relax. I'm a burden on the health system cause I was an young idiot on on bad bike .thanks for caring , and have a happy and fun life .

[@wordzenpix]

Grey Owl I live in Raleigh NC, also not a safe place to ride, or even drive. I stay off main roads with anything but a car. I ride a two-wheel recumbent and recently bought a trike for my wife who has balance problems now, a Trident Trike Stowaway II. Really sorry to hear about your accident.

[@wordzenpix]

Grey Owl I'm truly sorry to hear about your accident. I apologize for causing you any grief.

[@wordzenpix]

Clever, thoughtful design. Ignore the naysayers. I ride a trike, and I'd be comfortable on this one. Love the suspended seat.

[@latebloomer6957]

wordzenpix ....ignore the naysayers , that would be stupid thing to do , and you are abusing the zen thing , brianmck4 has more brain power than you .....what a stupid phoqen commentator you are...so can you tell me why investors are not responding , I know why , cause they don't want to get sued , Jacky Parker the idiot speeder would not be able to stop in time ,

[@wordzenpix]

Grey Owl Mr. Owl, I have no idea how I became so "phoquen" but it seems like an interesting condition. I will explore that further. In the meantime, a little zen might calm you.

[@latebloomer6957]

wordzenpix so do you ride ( cycle ) and why were you looking at this trike

[@latebloomer6957]

wordzenpix shit you do ride , what do you ride and why were you looking at this trike.....my best buddy is a dean and a psychologist ( human factors engineering ) or something like that ....I have a typing quota due to accident

[@wordzenpix]

Grey Owl Sorry to hear about your accident and injuries. That helps in understanding your strong reaction. Hope you're still able to ride.

[@dalewildey4102]

You put a lot of thought and effort into that build. Good job

[@kirschkern8260]

This is one of the best Trikes i have ever see. Freaking awesome.

[@carlosespinosa8836]

en verdad se agradece la generosidad y el talento , eres un genio , excelente proyecto , divertido ,sustentable y personalizado

[@wq6737]

Genial und sehr schön ausgeführt. Viele neue Ideen dabei. SUPER !

[@Fishingforpredators]

I was watching again and this cleverly designed trike is well thought out well done I say.

[@parjacpar3077]

Loads of great ideas all rolled in to one great project

[@budsbustbi6339]

this is the closest to what i want to build! butlooking to have independent rear suspension for off road! but been haveing trouble when adding trailer with drive! you just gave idea on how to fix that

[@soccerbabee0929]

*I bought this trike so I could play outside with my 3 children. Tricycle **Latest.Bike** is well built and fun to ride. Great purchase overall!*

[@mondue1000]

That bike is easily the coolest and most awesome recumbent trike I have ever seen. I am now gonna have to have one. I thought my bike was cool. But this bike makes mine look like a toy. I want one. Now I am going to have to save up and get one. lol. I am in love.

[@douglasnogueira7268]

É muita engenharia 📐 ⚙ empregada nesses projetos 🚵‍♂️ . Parabéns 👍. 🇧🇷

[@scottvan1898]

I will double the spring ! Well done, excellent design 👍

[@truckertom3323]

What a Genius, and a brilliant invention you have got there. True life "Professor Kitsoll"

[@curbowman]

This is the work of a genius! I just wonder how much does it weigh.

[@pedroalmica]

Impresionante, excelente trabajo, felicitaciones!!

[@patrickmckowen2999]

As a DIY builder myself, some very nice stuff on this -- love the steering the most. Not sure if I like the spring seat - if you are pedaling the seat will give way/move back under the force of leg pressure? But looks very comfortable! Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Patrick

[@aerialmanx7584]

Wonderful additions!! I may have to borrow that set design! Thank you for sharing

[@romyjugroo4542]

Lots of ingenuity displayed.Great family tricycle.

[@cesarsevero]

Hay mucho ingenio ahi. Felicitaciones!

[@clearsailing7993]

I like how you did the steering by wrapping a cable around two drums. A lot cheaper than using bevel gears.

[@MineOfTheLegends]

excellence idea of steering. Do not worry about the air bag as some ones need.

[@sharan5092]

Brilliant! Only needs an adjustment to raise seat higher for safety & better visibility. Could you put a crank for the standee?

[@ronbutler6502]

NICE ENGINEERING I JUST WONDER HOW MANY OF THE COMMENTS ARE MADE BUY PEOPLE WHO NEVER BUILT ANYTHING?? I AM ON MY 10TH TRIKE RETIRED ENGINEER MYSELF GREAT BUILD..

[@jwserge_MaiL_Ru]

clever ppl do not build "just anything" Clever ppl think good before start building ;)

[@timothyball742]

You ride a bicycle, ride a motorcycle, ride a tricycle, ride a unicycle, but how do you ride a recycle?

[@gavbrielhirshberg7947]

Hello I was very impressed. Havr you many improvements since this??

[@happyangus1871]

Oh my God you are a genius love the way you build it

[@myperspective5091]

Every feature on that trike is cleverly designed. 😊👍

[@madaboutvoice]

Pure Genius. I guess the only way left to better this is to make it a tilting trike.

[@triumphmanful]

It reminds me of the way a Vincent Black Shadow comes apart. T handles everywhere. Very nice job. Is that aluminum tubing ?

[@sabatheus]

Now that's what I call "full suspension"!

[@mongofan1]

A lot of great features, here. Nice design. The seat springs seem to allow a lot of bounce. Have you tried stiffer springs and, if so, what was the result? With all suspension in the seat and with all the swing visible, how does it handle in turns and coming out of turns at speed? Does the swing of the seat make it difficult to control?

[@guidorotondi5382]

Absolutely... BRILLIANT!!!!

[@roberthuffman4354]

THIS IS THE BEAST ONE EVER,THANK YOU

[@hisforeverkid]

Wow that’s really neat How much would you charge to make one? I could get some excersise with that thanks for sharing

[@sweeney37]

Some really interesting features , do you not find it over sprung

[@Riazor1370]

It is literally a hammock on wheels. But it sure good for the elder's bones and joints. But with too many skeletal tubes how does it weight?

[@samueljenkins9864]

Do you have any building plans for sale for this recumbent modular trike?

[@JK-vp2ux]

So out of the back two wheels only one of them is a drive wheel?

[@greenmachine55]

Cool bike invention I have a similar idea but instead of a tricycle it’s a pedal car for adults 4 wheels instead of 3 cargo space in back car/recumbent seating and suspension still working on getting parts and certain tools to finally work on my prototype. When I’m able to finally start on it I will definitely document the process and demonstration

[@velvetvideo]

I love the inventiveness here

[@joealvaneta]

Simple and smart, congratulations.

[@Guitarmanjhc1]

thats pretty cool except for the springs holding the seat wouldn't those break i'd feel safer it if were more secure like having shocks like the Ice Road model which has suspension

[@РусланАксенов-ц8э]

Я в восхищении!!! Столько интересных решений. Первый воломобиль, который понравился. Думаю, что и на ходу он легкий. Только пилота не укачивает? Может нужен гаситель колебаний (амортизатор)?

[@slipinn]

Outstanding! Can you add. A 21 speed gear set?

[@lawngreetingstoledo]

do you have anny build plans for this bike. would love to purchase

[@юрийдоценко-х5ж]

Оригинальное решение. При том что вся конструкция жесткая. Какой вес конструкции?

[@lengthmuldoon]

Well done mate great bit of kit.

[@euniceling5213]

*Heavy when full*Excellent !! Made mywife very happy !!

[@whitepawrolls]

As someone who is legally blind and rides a bicycle everywhere this would be nice. I'm curious as to the building cost though for something like this. Price has always kept me from getting a good bicycle on a very limited paycheck.

[@rodrigofajardo6096]

Nice trike!. You used a sprocket for the back pedaling bake; does it have a continuous clicking sound during forward pedaling?

[@fishlovr1]

Wish i saw this sooner... How much to build one...? And can you build it for me? I'm handicapped i lost my leg...This is just down my alley.ThX

[@judychennells935]

I noticed your posting of the modular trike. Is there any plans or do you make any for sale. I tried to make one for myself a while ago but just couldn't get the job done. I myself am on Social Security Disability and can't afford to just go out & buy one at the prices they sell for. I used to ride a bicycle all the time but since I have had my back injury it's just to hard & hurts. I had tried one out & was actually able to ride for a long distance so this is why I am trying to get one. I really miss the freedom of riding. Please let me know if you have anything in either plans or a bike itself to buy. Thank You

[@FACE-PROFILERZ]

@Judy Chennells you may try atomiczombie dot com for plans if u don't have a trike yet. Meanwhile, u may try hand or foot Reflexology for your back injury.

[@rocky7983]

is the seat water resistant ? what is max weight capacity ? how fast is it or is it more for distance ?

[@phd95]

A lot of efforts for betterment is applied. Still a differential or double freewheels could make the rear wheel drive easier than a left rear wheel drive.

[@microb140]

потрясающе! я хочу такой!!!

[@quinho10x10]

incredible, wonderful, wordless

[@AB-xo7md]

“Too much unsprung mass...” About 60% - 75% of mass is suspended - is not too bad for such simple, lightweight and inexpensive suspension. “…seasick from the suspension and no shockabsorbers…” Shown jumping is an example of extreme case. Normal roads driving is very comfortable. First time it might feel strange, but later on you stop paying attention to shaking and side swinging - similar like we never worry about ‘jumping’ of our body when we walk or run. I agree, shock absorbers can improve suspension. It can be an option - to have simple springs (different length and hardness) or springs with shock absorber. I tried to make it simple. To make everything more complicated and expensive is easy.

[@4cClubT]

spring suspended A+ but looks like it needs more control from swaying , with all those multi positions might as well make the seat recline fully if needed and put an enclosed shell on the recumbent

[@curbowman]

+4cClubT I'd couple the springs with some device to absorb excessive spring movement. Something like an elastic foam sleeve around the spring.

[@pedrorodriguez5451]

excelente invento seria bueno que vendieras me parece un producto muy bueno y me apena no poder decirte en tu idioma , solo very good

[@keeelane]

neat. just needs some work on cosmetics, imo, but really cool ideas. you could also use a hammock type system with ropes for the seat. i don't know how long those springs stay tight enough...

[@AB-xo7md]

Regarding safety - 1. for high speed riding you can connect top of springs close to center or use longer cross-tubes to make vehicle wider . 2. steering column can be telescopic, easily releasing, made from flexible plastic and so on. I think anyway trikes are much more safe than bikes. Bikes are most dangerous, especially to drive baby in front seat. It is crazy.

[@calmicpower]

Genius! Multiple Patents !

[@vireakyuth5051]

Hello sir. What does materiel you made from ? Is that from aluminum or iron ?

[@Lucasga28]

Meu Deus ❤️ muito bom.

[@databanks]

Looks comfortable to ride, even on the pothole riddled roads out here (On the "No officers, not drunk, just dodging holes" level) Love the steering system Okay, the braking system too. Love it Looking at the website, happy to see you're still going and advancing the design :D Can I just poke one thing? The damn alarm chirp in the music. Keeps making me think my damn bike alarm is being triggered - it's the same chirp it gives as a "Back off, fool!" before properly triggering if you keep bumping the bike >.

[@WalterElArgentino]

nice work :)Does the steering wheel come airbags lol

[@triumphmanful]

Turns on a dime ! Wow ! So many cool parts ? Where can I get those parts ? Steering thing is great but too hard to make ! Plus it could slam into your chest on impact ! Side joysticks for me ! Nice bike though.

[@ВалерийМомит]

triumphmanful я не понимаю.

[@thomasswedlund2487]

wow how many of those ideas are original?

[@AB-xo7md]

Thomas, visit website COMFORIDER.COM to see all new ideas. END OF 2019 I WILL PUBLIC NEW VERSIONS OF TRICYCLE. MUCH BETTER, SIMPLER AND LESS WEIGHT.

[@airealguy]

got to hand it to you man. I'm I PhD engineer and I really respect good designs. This is quite impressive design and engineering. The only down side is that it may be a bit of a heavy bike to petal around. How much does the simple petal bike configuration weigh?

[@jwserge_MaiL_Ru]

you are the bad PhD if you think the some kilo of extrawage can affect more than a little bit. It does not worthy of even mentioning

[@jwserge_MaiL_Ru]

By the way, the all bike looks all aluminum.

[@tomcatxsl6742]

0 turning radius, awesome!!

[@danielgrace7408]

Awesome design👍👍

[@888mrshoe]

hi any chance of selling plans if no one will reward you for your genius with production

[@tedbacks6365]

It looks rather overbuilt and that steering seems a bit dodgy. With the delta configuration and all, I wonder how stable this would be at speed?

[@jwserge_MaiL_Ru]

quite stable thanks to most of the wage is located on the rear axle

[@DiegoWeissel]

Wonderful, maravillosa, wunderbar!!!!

[@kokopelli314]

Wow, that's super cool!

[@houzetbernard]

tout simplement génial !!!!!!

[@mirandirfoggiatto1466]

You bay it?

[@donaldtownsend5923]

What about riding on the bike trails.

[@samsungg9827]

Узбекистан Ташкент. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍.

[@Vovchiktrike]

Конструкторские идеи очень крутые и оригинальные. Но как мне кажется слишком сложно, после длительной эксплуатации может быть много поломок и скрипов между деталями.Не уверен что человек который купит будет использовать все возможности трансформации.Хотя вам лучше знать. Успехов!!

[@barkulator]

lots of really good ideas

[@radekkavka6174]

GOOD DAY I WANTED TO ASK IF IT IS AVAILABLE ON THE MARKET OR IF IT IS POSSIBLE TO BUY FROM YOU 🚲❤

[@XefdOc]

Which price for a user in France ?

[@albertourdaneta9500]

excelent hermoso trabajo

[@wizardman42]

nifty engineering you need to sell the plans at atomic zombie they would love it

[@lewsky1969]

Excellent idea :) I like it :)

[@gengiskhanalegria3948]

Je suis tombé amoureux de votre vélo 😍😍😍😍😍 vous vendez le plan pour le fabriquer soit même ? Merci beaucoup 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@samuelgroce6299]

This is awesome

[@themountainboymiteshraisin5946]

Great work... awesome

[@andy-the-gardener]

awesome simple design. needs a little home made steam engine for propulsion and maybe a toaster to make breakfast. with a lttle arm that pops out to feed you the toast when you wake up in the morning grommit.

[@hugofomin9052]

Das ist eine geniale Konstruktion.

[@caproni311]

It is considered good. Amazing!

[@jwserge_MaiL_Ru]

First in the world hammock bike )))

[@daniele_go]

Nice, well done! But you show it always at very low speed...I wonder how it turns at 30km/h 🤔🤔🤔

[@brianmck4]

Why not try a simple spring system or metal bar suspension system for an addition. But source from scrap yard.

[@mrcasehatter9580]

Best thing since sliced Bread..!!

[@perujoventv]

Wonderful!! Genius!!
