Yesterday I found these old pictures of two concept (and one real!) recumbent concept trikes I made up. I don't even remember doing them.
(Back in the old days, before there was such thing as Photoshop, if you wanted to imagine how a concept might look, you actually put it on paper. Amazing, but true!)
It surprised me to find these, because I'd still love to make/buy a recumbent/faired trike. I don't remember being interested in them as a kid.
Have a laugh at the (lack of) steering geometry. (And lack of clearance to actually steer much.)
Sorry about the blurriness of this one... It's front-wheel drive with rear wheel steering!
Speaking of FWD/RWS, the drawing below is of the
actual trike that I made when I was 12 (OK, I "designed" and had my grandfather weld for me out of a cut up bike):
I have a photo of me riding it, but I couldn't find it.
Yes, front wheel drive with coaster brake (rear of the bike flipped upside down). That's a caster type arrangement on the left rear, and tiller steering on the right rear (the front half of the bike).
It was actually really fun to ride... unless you got going too fast.
Especially fun to ride on packed snow/ice!
