Muito bom. show

Much easier to just make a side-car. No mods to the bike, just place the 3rd tire in the correct spot. No added weight to the steering. Add a pillion seat and a single pannier (saddle-bag)

bonjour
je travail avec des velos porteur pour des personnes handicapés, et au
niveau de l'axe sous le plateau mobile il y a un amortisseur de
direction (style hydraulique) posé a partir de l'axe fixe jusqu'au plateau mobile. (super machine).
Hello
I work with bikes carrier for people handicapped persons, and in
Level of the axis under the mobile tray(plateau) there is a shock absorber of
Direction(Management) ( hydraulic put style) has to leave the fixed axis up to the mobile tray(plateau). ( Great machine). -
wow that is a very good idea, AAA+ thank you.

Make it easier for them, I can see six rear gears, make them operational, it's easy. I would also try to find crank arm with three speeds. That bike could go pretty much everywhere you want it to go. But nice job, I'm gathering ideas for something like this.

Me inspiras, pero a la vez me haces sentir que he sido un inutil.

e ai jovem já resolveu o problema deste pino central?

Backwards would be better as a trailer?.and put a electric motor on the crank shaft 250watt $399 or a 1000 watt $699 takes 10 min or less to put on pull not push thats why I said backwards?.

Dam the ark blinded me!!!

nice work
-
Great Job! :)

All my respect for the hard work. i think you should have put the tire closer to the steering bars I think there is too much weight on the center and nothing there to reinforce it.

basico y al punto!

a very wonderful video

this is a good concept but needs some refinement to work properly.
first, the head tube angle is wrong, and that's why the steering is unstable. as the bike steers to one side, it leans over, causing oversteer and possibly a rollover. it needs to be tilted back, not vertical- this is the same as caster angle on a car.
secondly, the cargo bed acts as a long lever, multiplying the force of your cargo on the head tube. it needs to be supported in more than one place, otherwise the steering tube will break again and steering with a heavy load will be impossible. try adding a little wheel under the back of the bed, rolling on a horizontal cross member.
lastly, your seat tube angle is too far forward. like the head tube, it needs to lean back for comfortable riding. otherwise the rider is too far forward and the pedals too close to the ground. -
Those are some smart kids :)

me gusta su trabajo,soy de chile yo hago triciclos que le valla bien hermano buscame en youtube fabrica de triciclos y bicicletas
-
Nice bro
-
Nice demo - thank you - good to see you having a bash with the welding.
May I ask if you actually used bearings on the pivot tube.? I am considering building a modular trike myself. I think they are brilliant. I daresay people like myself have gleaned a great deal from observing your build. Very generous ! -
Thumbs up to you and your kids. I think that considering what you have to work with, you seem to find a way to make it work, I admire that, not everyone has the money or the top of the line tools to get the job done, so us do it yourselfers make things work the best way we can, it may brake, but we fix it, or engineer it better. I also have sent many bicycles and parts to Africa and am happy to see bicycles in use. Keep up the good work.
