From the first design sketch to execution, the trike took 6 months to come to life. I was fascinated with the idea that one could pedal in such a comfortable posture.
A more generic model of a trike is the one with 1 wheel in the front and 2 wheels at the back, called Delta configuration. The one I choose to make was slightly different and mechanically challenging. It has two wheels in the front and one wheel at the back, called the Tadpole configuration.
The front wheels are 20” in diameter and the rear wheels are 26”. The trike has 21 gears and weighs 29 kgs.
