Caution!!  This page is very graphics intensive.

     This page will show the trikes of other home builders that I know, have spoken to, or have been lucky enough to ride with/meet.  Click the pictures for larger views.  If/when I get more detailed info, I'll put the trikes in chronological build order or maybe even group them by builder as the two other builders I know are pretty prolific :)  I'll also see if I can get some technical stats on them for later addition.

 

     This is the velomobile that Larry built.  When he wants to try something, he doesn't talk about it much, he just shows us a picture of the finished product, like this.  Fully suspended with custom struts up front and a swingarm rear.  Square mild steel subframe, and 20" tires all around.  Disc brakes and fibreglass fairing complete with lights and mirrors.


     This is the Cuda-W.  A bike designed by Warren Beauchamp of recumbents.com and built by Reg Rodero.  I was given the rare opportunity in 2008 to possibly buy and race it, but there was too little time, and I was just too big for it, so it had to go back.  Click the picture for some info on it.


     A friend of mine decided to try his hand at bent building and bolted together a few parts to make himself a swing boom.  He saw a co-worker who had made one and thought he'd give it a try.  I offered to pull the bolts and weld the joints for him.  He made the seat back out of an old pair of forks with an upholstered cushion on it.  Worked like a charm and is a lot of fun to ride too.  I think he should give it a spray bomb paint job to do it justice.


     This is the Red Arrow.  A homebuilder from Colorado named Ron sent it to me.  A friend saw the video on Youtube and sent me the link as well.  Very cool to see another homebuilder out there that found my site useful enough to make a bent for themself.  Video is here.


     Marco from Puerto Rico sent me a note along with a picture of his Thunder Bolt (from Ricky Horowitz's plans).  His T-Bolt has been sitting idle for a couple years due to too many hobbies and too little time.


     Larry's latest work.  A triple 406 FWD tilting delta trike with triple discs and a custom composite seat.  Sliding boom and an Al plate on the rear for a tilt lock.
