Question about building a custom 4 wheel bike
I have been thinking of building my own design recumbant bike.
The basic layout would be seat near rear between the rear tires (Slightly forward of center of the tires - back of back rest top would be about an inch forward of the rear wheels centerline.) front tires would be attached simular to the way go cart wheels are attached, and steered. crank of course centered in front of seat. gearing? attaching crank to gearing? Any thoughts or ideas would be helpful. Also was thinking of building out of aluminum oval tubing.
