My home designed and built Through Hub Front Wheel Drive Recumbent Bike with 21 gears possible as per normal ..made up with mostly scrap parts..I think the drive assembly is unique,but maybe someone will correct me
With this design any amount of 'rear ends' could be made...I.e penny farthing type or tricycle or unicycle if you're brave
Handling seems excellent (assisted by steering damper) and speed is impressive..30mph behind my pickup/camera truck while filming but ran out of gears/leg power...apologies for dodgy camera work..single position solid mount
Quick specs:Seat height 500mm Wheel base 1400mm Head angle 34deg (from vertical) Castor 25mm Wheels 700 weight 19kilos Material costs about £100 including two new tyres and tubes, two new freewheels and a new chain everything else was recycled bits of bike and spare bits of stainless steel tube/box...Update to specs:.As of 04/05 2013 seat height is now 350mm! will try to fair machine
