    Two "handle bar" positions

    I'm seeking suggestions for how to accomplish two handle bar positions. I'm hoping to have two handle bars and seating positions available. I guess I could try for two seperate handle bars with twice as many cables as before, to control all the controls on the first handle bars, including...

    Im back w/tandem conversion into recumbent ebike project!

    I have been gone for a long time but I am happy to say that I am back as I am finally doing my long awaited recumbent ebike build! It must have been, IDK, 5-10 years going back when I was here last. This place brings back good memories and the buzz of fresh ideas over cool bit of awesome...

    Fat Tire tadpole trike axles & turnbuckles

    I want to use 20"x4" fat tires on my yet future trike I'm hoping to start building next spring, but I'm having problems finalizing parts for the front wheels. The question is, I'm seeking a very solid axle and turnbuckle (or kingpin), like on ATV's or small dune buggies. I can source the sway...

    Tandem bike conversion to 1-seat tri-mode Recumbent

    I am creative inventive type. I have arthritis throughout my body but mostly effects my back. So a recumbent ride would help out greatly. I want to build an all wheel tilting recumbent trike, but I don't have the workshop laboratory to be able to accomplish it yet, so I am simplifying the...

    Enclosed recumbent design

    Still early in design stage, not near future project, but spend enough time making scads of designs, so here's one of my best so far. I am curious about suggestions for material selection for such a design. I think those are 20" tires, about 55" tall (near car seat height) yet very aerodynamic...

    Can one shift a (sine) wave up or down like on osciloscope?

    I'm about to do some experimenting with a portable camping economy welding device from an additional alternator. Concerning an analogue sinusoidal waveform, in this case from an automotive style alternator (but 24v),, can those waveforms from the 3windings be "moved" up or down so that the...

    Alternative Energy "friendly" engine

    I have designed a very efficient engine. It's not an "internal combustion engine" (ICE), instead it's like a steam engine or a compressed air motor in that you provide pressure from outside the engine, as in a steam boiler or a compressed air tank. As such, my engine can utilize collected...

    New to the forum with a project

    Hello, I love designing things, and I come up with what I think is a very cool design for a trike that rides like a bike. Maybe better than a bike. I've seen vids of motorcycles that have put two wheels up front and they handle extremely well, they say it's better than a bike configuration...

    1 controller for 2 (or more) motors

    I'd like to be able to use 2 or more motors at the same time and I'm on a shoe string budget. Granting the motors are all the same size and model, and as long as I plan the system ahead of time, could I use one amp controller (and battery pack) to cause all the motors to run together at the same...
