Recumbent Meta

Metamorphosis 3

Type: Low Rider Recumbent with front drive
Stage: Planning

The Goal

I saw a front drive low racer, and realized it could be done by using the parts of a recycled bicycle as well. Yet, far more welding would be required, plus two forks required.

The Source

As source material I like to use used or recycled ordinary bicycle: one 26" bicycle.


The Result


The Complete Metamorphosis 3

The orange spots are brazel or welding points. The seat is moveable to adjust to different body sizes, also the tilt or angle should be ajustable, and I'm thinking of installing a spring for the seat, resides between the back and the main bottom frame tube, note: the seat will not be fixated at the back, just at the bottom.


The Complete Metamorphosis 3 Equipped

Now it becomes obvious, the main weight would be in the rear, on the back wheel, whereas the drive is in front: not good. It would suit as 'racer' but not really for long distance riding with baggage.
