I want to build a DIY recumbent trike. Am I being realistic?

14 Mar

I’ve found several sites offering plans for around $20 to build a recumbent bike or trike. These projects supposedly rely entirely on off-the-shelf parts and common tools, except for the need to bend and braze frame parts. I’m not a fantastically mechanically inclined person. Am I setting the bar too high with this project? Are the plans any good? Anyone have experience with this type of project?

    Sounds like one of those “If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again” projects.

    All you need to succeed with this is motivation, time, money, patience, and skills you can learn as you go. Your fifth trike will be a lot better than your first one..

    Go for it.
