I know this is a old video but if you got some more of that flat thick aluminum you could bend it to go over the front tires and it would probably stop the axle from bending plus you would have a place to mount some fenders if you want.

i made myself a no weld bolt together 2 wheeled recumbent about 5 years ago..... still going strong !

안녕하세요. 유튜버님 영상을 참고해서 자전거를 만들고 있는 사람입니다. 스티어링이 뻑뻑한 문제가 있는데 혹시 어떻게 해결하셨나요. 제작하신 것 과 비슷하게 캐스터각, 킹핀각을 15도 정도 주었는데 이게 과도한 건 아닌 것 같은데 스티어링이 뻑뻑하네요. 혹시 아시는 분 계시면 답변해주세요. Hello, I'm a person who is making a bicycle by referring to your UA-cam video. There is a problem with stiff steering, how did you solve it. Similar to the production, the caster angle and the kingpin angle were given 15 degrees I don't think this is excessive, but the steering is stiff. If anyone knows, please answer.

You're a Gee-Nee-Us 🤓🤓🤓🫡🫡🫡

To rhink I'm hot stuff when I change a lightbulb in my house...and then I watch what YOU are capable of FABRICATING! YOU are the MAN! Keep up the great work on these projects!

So wish you would have said what you were doing instead of the music

Beautiful build

I'm building a tryke myself, mine has tilting capability and a cabin for added aero, safety and weather protection. I post on my channel whenever i make some progress on the project for those who want to check it. Your project is very cool and has some nifty ideas.

Awesome build Graham, thank you for sharing your development proces. I am thinking about building a reverse trike with two 16inch front wheels and forks with suspension from an MTB and a 26 MTB rear w suspension. I was wondering if I needed to adress the issue of rear wheel if I don't have the tilting front wheels system. Also, I tought about raising the seat higher and further back and was wondering how that would effect stability or is it just an issue with the tilting ones? Any help and advice from anyone would be appreciated. 😊

Hi Graham, I be using your very handy guidance when converting my upright trike into a quadcycle that meets disability scooter requirements, Basically I’m going to replicate your front axle connected to my existing trike rear axle but will be using steel. A bit heavier but it has pedal assist so no big deal. Can you adjust your steering axis by keeping the wheel upright, adjusting the lengths of the upper and lower bearing eyebolts and angling the vertical bolts that secure them? If the existing bolt holes are an issue you could pop rivet a cover plate over them so you can re drill. You could make it look like part of the design…..only you will know. Regarding front suspension, Can you cut the front axle in the middle and install a mono shock across the top as done on the rear but transverse. You could adjust the preload so that the axle sat straight when on the trike but flexed over bumps. Perhaps use two to help keep it upright. Bob.

Hi Graham, What about hinging the front axle each side of the bracket that secures it to the main frame and fitting a rear shock in a similar manner to the rear across the top of the now hinged axle? I would imagine you would need to set the shock so that the axle was straight when sat on it so the camber angle would remain similar and would only change when the axle and shock was loaded when going over a bump. Could be talking out of my backside as only an idea.

Great videos. Where did you get the eyebolts with the bearings in from.

Hi Graham, I’ve watched you videos with interest as I’m lowering my upright trike to half its height as they are so unstable especially when riding one across the crossovers to people drives. The size of the main beam you quoted has come in handy as I’m going with the same size but in mild steel to match the rest of the trike. Im liking the handle bar set you have as with my 26” front wheel with the headset at 45 degrees the handle bars will be too high so will make a handle bar set up similar to yours connected via a link to one of the front forks. The shortened skewers idea I will mimic as well for my adjustable go kart seat. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

Would you have gotten away with lots of rivets instead of bolts

The brake idea is brilliant. I have an OEM double front brake and single rear brake on my KMX kart. It is a real pain getting the front brakes to put equal pressure. If the pressure is off by a little bit, the trike will start to slide sideways. That's why I have the bicycle/trike shop do the adjustments.

Отличная работа👍🏻👍🏻

Hello From Victoria Canada!!! That was a great explanation of everything. I sure wish I had shop teacher that kept everything as clear and easy to understand as you just did. I'm checking out your trike build and it is going along wonderfully. Keep up the awesome content and I can't wait to see the body work you make up. Stay safe and happy. 🤘😁👍

For your front suspension use a go cart spring front axles or make your own using aluminum and two or four small springs ...

Late to the party! How has this held up and have you modified it?

Really like your build! Thinking about doing something similar myself and the steering to me seems to be the most complicated thing, so your build has really given me som great inspiration. I'm so confused though about the different lengths of the two rod-ends(?)? Seems like the lower one is longer (probably to tilt the wheel slightly to offload som lateral forces on the wheel when turning?) which I understand is ok in a straight line but what happens when you turn? Does it pivot the wheel somehow? Also, how do you experience the wear on the part where the wheel axle is mounted on the alu plate? I understand you're switching to a thicker axle but do you find the alu plate thick enough or any wear on the hole? Are the rodends also 8mm?

Hi, really nice design there. Just a thought, for the front end ideas you could look at cyclecars for suspension ideas. Could it be built with a single front wheel? Good luck with it all, truly inspirational and makes me want to give it a go.

Ridiculous, no wonder you never showed anyone ride this.

Would you put all your trike building videos into one group? And do you have a plan or blueprint to share?

I'm looking forward to seeing how you make the fairing/body. I want a weatherproof bike myself.

Graham I love the trike. Any chance you could let me know if the crossbow suspension worked or not...I want to make this myself. Thanks mate!

ua-cam.com/video/gRKd_Q2-8cU/v-deo.html can am tilting

How did you get the chain done? Did you add chains together or can you buy the chains that long? I want to do similar but with larger wheels and an assist motor. I've saved the sets of videos on this build.

No part 7 yet? I really like your way of work in progress and taking us with you on the journey. The tilting function can maybe be realised with a geometry that pushes the back in an upright position by gravity. To tilt it you would have to pull at the steering. But maybe better: forget the tilting and simply mount a smaller back wheel. This is much more stabile in corners.

I really enjoy the fact not one weld was used all bolts and nuts great attention to detail my friend

On this Part 6 video --- music is too loud and your voice is way too low... Had to turn my speakers almost all the way up to hear what you're saying only to have the music blast me out of the room. There are youtube videos on how to properly record voice and music. Other than that, this has been a great build from start to finish..

❤I am so glad to see that what a creativity you have done so diffrent trike love from india

Very much ingenious in that trike!! Congratulations

Great job on the project. I am wanting to build a 2-wheel fat tire recumbent w/ suspension. Any thought on that?

Man, I watched EVERY VIDEO FOR A TRIKE!!!! AWESOME DUDE!!!!!!! Starting on mine, CHEAPLY

Hi, i have a pallet build on the go and now ive got the sides up. 2 pallets high . Im getting worried about the sides buckling in as theres a lot of weight in them, used blue pallets its an awkward diamond shape too. How have you braced yours to prevent this from happening. Cheers and looks an awesome mancave

What a GREAT Build ... Ontario Canada

You should have put the front wheels between an upside down U aluminium bracket ( or cut up front some forks) to support each side of the wheel spindle to avoid it from bending.

im learning lots

you can use a hole saw to cut aluminum

super annoying intro....

Can you do a video on how you made the seat please? It's a really cool looking seat assembly.

love watching this but wouldnt it be better if you made your seat to slide back and forth instead of the pedals being adjustible ?????

Greetings from the LooseNatural farm in Andalusia

Hey Graham for your leaning solution check out the AR-3 is a simple solution you can surely make without welding

Nice system for some of your tools. I've seen an alternative setup here in the US being used by some tradesmen in their work trucks: the tool is mounted via plates to a receiver hitch plug instead of a ball for pulling a trailer. I've seen anvils, grinders, drill press, portaband saw, bender, vise, etc and they're not restricted to receivers on trucks. Receivers can also be mounted to workbenches. If they have a support post under it, you can use devices that you can beat on without damaging your bench. Put a few receivers at each end and along the length of your bench, you leave your top surface clear and clean, and you can reconfigure it for whatever job you're working on.

¡Tremendo¡ con esa forma de giro inclinado construiste algo que llevo pensando desde hace tiempo, muchas gracias por demostrar que, por lo menos se puede. Saludos desde Colombia🙂👍🏼

Do you have blue prints for this trike as I have a few ideas that mite work for you with this for instance using leaf springs from a junk car in your front suspension along with motor cycle shocks to make a smoother ride and if you are making your frame pivot the way you are I would add not only heavier springs like you are doing but also rubberized motor mounts to help keeping them from bottoming out ( hitting ) against the frame. It should help please let me know if this helps with an idea that you can use.

This is brilliant. The best fit trike I've seen on UA-cam so far

Love this great job I’ll be building one of these myself thanx mate

The most intriguing part about this build, and the one that made me sub, is that the wheels are in front of the crank assembly. Much more stable, less jittery on the straights, just a better overall ride, the only compromise being tight turning ability. I'm looking for serious road speed so I don't need turn on a dime handling.
