recumbent tricycle by Velodreamer #1

Trike No1 is the first tadpole recumbent trike by Velodreamer with a single-sided support of front wheels. At that time we didn't know much about steering geometry so tried to learn as much as it was only possible. We tested two steering systems: a direct control by means of pivoted levers and a steering with intermediate levers. Also we tested the weight distribution.
