    Any place sell Tadpole trike Wheel sets?

    ebay sells delta trike set of 3 wheels, but I have never seen a set of 3 tadpole trike wheels for sale. disk rotors on the 2 front wheels and 7 speed casette on the rear wheel, seems like a common configuration, so why does it seem they are only custom made ?

    Delta Trike with 2 suspension front forks frame designs?

    I saw this video of a trike who's front 2 wheels are made of regular bicycle forks. I like this design because the wheels and hubs are easy to get. NO custom lacing of a wheel needed. Does anyone have any more detailed photos and scketches of the steering and peddling mechanism of such a 2x fork...

    Building Organic Transit ELF vechicle

    I want to make an Elf like velomobile. The frame does not look that hard and I like how they have a dual drive system. And I also like how they use a Nuvinci drive and a hub motor both of which do not need custom spoked on a wheel! 2 questions: Where are they getting those squarish aluminum...

    What brand electric trike is this?

    I was looking at local used trikes. the delta Ebike is $600, the silver one is $720 but 3 hrs away and the green one is 1 hr away and about $1100. I've never rode a trike. I am assuming the Silver one will be the fastest because it has the largest rear wheel? I wonder what brand the Etrike is? I...

    what does the street fighter or warrior cost to make in time/labor and $$$?

    what does the street fighter or warrior cost to make in time/labor and $$$? do not assume any scrap bike parts you got were free. for consistency: Value a scrap bike at $30 each because that's about how much I can get them for locally and the time it takes to find those scrap bikes is not free...

    Modify single speed front pedal delta trike to multispeed tadpole?

    is it possible to change a 1 speed trike to multi speed using Nuvinci CVT? like the one pictured below. My guess is that it would require rotating the seat 180 and adding a pedal crank shaft. I can get these trikes used locally for $150. amazon reviews are not that great. link below I bought...
