No door, the round section at the front will allow the frame to pivot up for getting in and out

this picture shows the start of the frame for the trike body. The wood across the wheels is just to give the proper spacing till a bit more fram has been constructed and it becomes mor rigid The coroplast in the background will be zip tied to the frame and then I will stretch some light weight...

Anything related to comfort is not off topic, thanks for the link

Just being enclosed and not having my hands being exposed to windchill should help a lot. I was out on a local bikepath yesterday on my fat bike, the temp was just below freezing. Of course I was wearing gloves and had put a small lithium powered hand warmer into the top of each glove. That...

Winter is now fast approaching here in Winnipeg and the green trike is now sitting in my heated garage on a work table awaiting it's next stage. I had a great summer and got lot's of riding in. Even managed to convert a long time friend - we have known each other for 60 years now - he has a few...

Went for another test ride 2 days ago. This along a gravel path called the Duff Roblin trail which runs along the top of the Red River floodway. The floodway is just a really big ditch around the city of Winnipeg that was dug in the 60's to save the city from flooding. Anyway it was about 10...

I have 2 e bikes, one is a Bafang mid drive that is on a KHS fat bike. When i was looking into it no one ever gave me a straight answer about what size the bottom bracket needed to be and no one could say what the bottom bracket on the KHS was and KHS was also unwilling to reply to my question...

I forgot to mention I have done a variation of the above ride on the BionX equipped road bike and my Bafang 1000 W fat bike several times, the difference on the trike was comfort as in no butt pain, no wrist strain and while pedalling i could sit there and look around at the scenery. The only...

Except for the front fenders that are still being modified the trike has now been turned into an e-trike. For the last couple weeks it was taken on shorter shakedown rides to identify any issues that were then resolved. Minor things like changing the pulleys spacing from the frame and replacing...

The picture above was taken before the Bion X kit was installed. I will attempt to get a picture posted up soon of the upgrade

Well it's been a while since I last posted but the Atomic Zombie warrior recumbent trike has now been built. At first it was pedal power only and taken for short rides in the neighborhood to see if it would need tweaking. A number of issue's were identified and corrected and so a few days ago...

Very nice clean looking install, enjoy.

i've been taking my time just so it stays fun and not become a job. The front arms that attaches the wheels to the main frame boom have now been fabbed up, the plans call for the seat boards to be cut and thats done. Once the 3 pieces of the seat have been joined together and a couple of seat...

The middle picture has an extra rear wheel holder , this was the first attempt. the plans called for a 26"rear wheel. Turns out mine was a 28". So a second was fabbed up. I now think of it a the start of a 2nd build-in time of course.

I have decided to use the brakes and electrics on my Bionx 500 equipped EVO road bike and build a 3 wheeled electric recumbent trike. I bought the plans, got the steel tube and have started the project. The style is called a tadploe trike which means the 2 wheels are in front and 1 wheel in...

I took the fat bike for a quick 30 plus km ride the other night. Pumped the tires to the max pressure of 20psi and headed off to the local bike shop. I had ordered a couple 20" wheels and some 20mm 36 spoke hubs for the trike project and got a call some of the parts had arrived. It was such a...

I own 2 e bikes, one is an EVO road bike equipped with a Bion X HD500 hub motor running 700c tires and no suspension other than a Cane Creek short travel Thudbuster. The 2nd is a KHS 500 fat tire bike equipped with a Bafang 1000 watt mid drive motor running 26 by 4" tires and no suspension...

Any issues with using a front hub motor on suspension forks? They don't seem to be recommended in the information I've read. The reason I ask is my friend with health issues has a schwinn mountain bike with a front suspension fork and I'm thinking a similar setup to what you've done to the Marin...

I solved the brake sensor fastening by cutting 2 small pieces of light gauge tin approx 1/2" by 1' long and using a vise to put a U shaped bend in half of the length so it would fit wrapped around the brake levers with the supplied magnet on the piece of tin nearest to where the sensor was to be...

One of the reasons I decided to install a mid drive kit on my fat bike is the kit kit can easily be removed and the bike put back to stock if I so desire. But an E bike as an investment is just silly. In my local market all bikes once they have been taken out of the store and used for a few...
