| *Vultures Knob>>>Recumbent Bike |
I have low income and back problems. I am making a recumbent bike. what is the easiest way to set up wheels? |
I tried CAD' ing on the pc the use of ordinery rear wheels bolted on a threaded shaft with one side driven by the drive chain but that will cause steering problems when I power on. As I say I am strapped for cash and miss cycling but must have three wheels and seats (Back problems) for me and my wife (tandem). any home made ideas very welcome! I agree, it is VERY difficult to come up with a home made 'diff'. Stripping something off a lightweight quad - well it'll be as heavy as the rest of the machine!! Most, if not all commercial trikes drive only ONE rear wheel. You COULD set up a duel drive going to two separate freewheel systems, but would mean a fair bit of extra chain, brackets & cogs! ie. a mid-section to split the primary drive, then a sturdy secondary section to split & extend the drive out to the derallier / freehubs at the wheels. Could be fun to build!! It'd certainly be unique. apply for ssi and hope for the best I think in the end it will probably cost more to make yourself. I saw a recumbent (handcycle) go on ebay for 拢180. Have a look. It would be easier to mod/lengthen that than start from scratch. put them at the bottom Think of it the other way round, you need three wheels, but do it like the early morgans. i.e two wheels at the FRONT and drive the rear wheel. OK the steering gets more difficult but a good rack and pinion from a scrapyard will solve that |
