Friday, October 4, 2013

Thanks to txusic we have a great Sketchup of the trike.

Here's the file

Here you can download the Sketchup viewer.

The seat is a little different from what I have but no reason not to look at both designs and pick your favorite or design a seat yourself.

About the Tribolt Recumbent Trike

The Tribolt Recumbent Trike can be built with only a drill, a hacksaw and a file. It's the easiest to build tadpole trike in the world. No welding is required. Anybody with patience and dedication can produce a fully functional trike. Frame and parts can be made from steel, aluminum, wood, whatever you want to use.

The total costs is targeted at the region of $300 US dollars or Euro; depending on frame materials and bike parts. Especially with donor bike components it can stay well under budget.

The project will take about 30 to 40 hours to have a rolling frame with basic finish.
You can always do touch-ups and add accessories or perhaps a full fairing. Every part is easily replaced, and dimensions can be altered... Just un-bolt and re-bolt. It's that easy!

Please do not expect the end result to be as good as a professionally made trike. But by no means it will be a useless piece of junk. If you do your job right the Tribolt is a fully functional trike well capable of distance touring.

We expect you to show us your Tribolt copy and provide information to others about what you did differently and where you found resources.

Thanks and happy building,
