Recumbent Bike Build, Episode 2024-02

[@Tokazukashi]

Damn! That bike look good 😍. Especially that shape of a frame in general.

[@VacuousCat]

I've liked the one-sided support beam idea when I saw it in another project. But you get on bikes from the right? That's unsual.

[@bentBuilder]

I think my logic behind getting on it from the right is because the kickstand causes the bike to lean to the left. So it has a more open and inviting appeal to it? Idk, it was my first one I've ever made and I didn't give it that much thought.

Lovely build, I am inspired to show mine. Ps. For the love of God lease buy an autodimming welding helmet it is very convinient and could saves your eyes, also very nasty radiation on you skin. I had my fair share of metal work injuries, they are all avoidable.

[@Oppenheimer183]

seems really cool, but also really heavy

[@bentBuilder]

Thank you. I believe the frame weighs in at 10.8lbs (4.9kg). So that's what? 2-3x heavier than a regular bike frame? Total weight without batteries and with bags = 51lbs(23.1kg)

[@Klausi666]

yeah its hard to eccelarate but also will keep up speed easier once it goes. better have few kilos more and be more sturdy and relaible

11:09. варил в шапке. Красит без шапки. Белой краской в чёрной майке. Чтоб совсем уж незаметны была белая краска на чёрной майке.

Sick build! Wondering how the steering and pedaling motion will feel since the whole crankset is going to swing with the front wheel if I understand your design correctly? Can’t wait to see it completed and rolling! New sub!

Beautiful frame design

[@yetzt]

this looks a bit like the pivot steering on a python, except the pivot point is not in line with your spine. might be tough to get it to turn. you sure you want the over seat steering though? edit: ah, i this it has positive caster, so it's more like a flevo or an airbike. i will follow your progress :)

[@bentBuilder]

Pivot is inline with spine. Steering is under the seat.

[@MiguelMartinez-ch3tp]

Me encantó el diseño

[@MS-pt3yh]

I dont like the design and E assist motor so much. Would you try a Velomobile for the next project ?
