Recumbent Bike Build, Episode 2024-03

[@olsonspeed]

Great job, a lot of work to build, it should fun to ride and a conversation starter wherever you travel.

[@BirdmanandPrincess]

You have done a great job, I really like your attention to detail, BUT that has to be the most ridiculous place to put the controller, anything you pick up on your tire ie. dirt, dust, water, mud, etc, is going to cover that pour controlller, .........well I hope you are not to far from home when it quits on you, but you got pedals.....lol......and you are going to happy you do. The pedal assist will be missed on the hills......ya, I've been there more than once. I know this is kind-a negative, but I really just think you should move the controller, maybe put it in a plexiglass 2nd. box........your craftmanship is superb as well as your attention to detail, I made this comment because I have made every mistake there is at least once while doing builds and designs of bikes and trikes.......(Always remember controllers hate water and so do Lithium-Ion batteries)

[@alexsainsbury2176]

Yo man, can we see you riding it, please?

[@yetzt]

this looks amazing, great job. i would absolutely like to ride it to see how it compares to my electric flevo bike. :)

[@XiaolinDraconis]

How's it coming?

[@pa.po.648]

Nie za mały troche na twoj wzrost i gabaryty??

[@Asfanboy1]

Now all you need is a fiber glass she'll to make it an aerodinamic bullet and you would finish the prototype that I had a dream about.

[@bentBuilder]

I just might have to do that.

[@cesarcantoral6100]

Can you make a”recumbent mountain bike at around $800-1000 $ 2 1/2 “ steel tubes….frame only….wheel size 26-29”. Both front and back fully suspended (back and front).to accommodate fat tires …underseat stirring (preferable no links …just solid welts)….disk brakes…

[@flappytank7640]

so cool!

[@киос4]

hello. you are going to post the last episode where he will finally go. It's a very interesting project. and also, what speed are you going to develop on it

[@viktornarbut2905]

Как конструктор сядет или ляжет в этот аппарат? Ноги будут выше головы? Удобно ли так управлять байком?

[@kamov8888]

Have you ever ridden an MBB recumbent? This seems very difficult to overcome. I'm worried that you won't be able to ride this as a FWD recumbent. I'm worried that it will became just a RWD e-motorcycle... You may risk yor life if you are not familiar with MBB. MBB low racer is very tricky at high speeds.

[@Balorng]

I think it the low speeds will be trickier, given the steering geomerty, but yea - the cockpit does not seem particularly suitable for an MBB, but given that you can use motor for high-torque effort it might just work.

[@kamov8888]

​​​@@Balorng If you are not trained with MBB, handle wobbles at high speed since your feet on the same moving front frame. This is very very scary.

[@kamov8888]

It looks like you created it without designing the geometry, were you able to ride this cool "thing"? Or has it become funiture?

[@bentBuilder]

How so?

[@crazyinventor3665]

It’s amazing) bro I’m want to make this , have you a draw , and parameters of tubes ?

[@bentBuilder]

If I remember, I'll upload the sketch I have with the dimensions on it. As for the tubes, I used 1.5" diameter .029" wall, 4130. I have a new carbon seat coming for it, but I went with a medium Thor sport seat

[@crazyinventor3665]

⁠@@bentBuilderthanks, I saw sketch, But now I’m not understanding form and place of battery , which you will use

[@киос4]

@@bentBuilder where will you upload it if it's not a secret

[@alexal4179]

На большой скорости покрышки могут увеличится в размерах и начать прорезать корпус контроллера. И да, вы часто носите шапочку с пропеллером ? :))

[@киос4]

you think there will be so much speed. it seems to me that he will go no more than 30-40 km/h

[@cesarcantoral6100]

By the way “great work”….lol

[@киос4]

somewhere I saw a bike with the same frame, do not refresh it in your memory if you copied yours from another one. Either I'm being ridiculous with you

[@bentBuilder]

@@киос4 a lot of velomobiles share a similar concept maybe with a RWD. But as a stand alone frame, King cycle hachi was my inspiration

Так и не поехала.
