DeltaRunner Comfort Trike

$16.95 USD - 11MB PDF file instant download



The DeltaRunner is a comfortable and rugged all-purpose human powered trike designed to combat the ever increasing price of gasoline, while at the same time giving its pilot a great low impact workout. Because the seat is at a height similar to that of an automobile, the DeltaRunner is easy to get into and puts you at eye level with many motorized vehicles on streets and roads. The DeltaRunner is light, fast, and handles like a dream due to the long wheelbase configuration, 26 inch wheels, and front suspension.

The DeltaRunner includes a full range of speeds and a rear disc brake for optimal stopping power. The steering system is comfortable and natural, with nothing to obstruct your legs or your view so you can pedal the DeltaRunner just like you would pedal a regular bicycle.


The DeltaRunner is also easy and inexpensive to make, since it requires only a few small machined parts and common hardware and cycle components. You will require only a basic welder, an angle grinder, hand drill, and the usual hand tools in order to create you own DeltaRunner trike. Thanks to the simple single boom flat frame, you can easily modify the width or length of the DeltaRunner to modify it to your own needs. The DeltaRunner could easily become a fully faired velocar or a pedicab, or a multirider vehicle, or just about any other human or electric assisted vehicle you can imagine.

By adding a front hubmotor kit to the DeltaRunner, it becomes a perfect small electric vehicle for running errands or regular commuting. There is plenty of room on the frame to add a large battery pack that will allow the DeltaRunner to run all day at city traffic speeds.




The DeltaRunner frame is extremely durable, yet light due to the thin walled square tubing design. There is only a single machined part on the entire vehicle - a small freehub axle adapter. Even the wheels are off-the-shelf parts, so you will not need to scrounge for any exotic or expensive components to build your own cargo trike. There is plenty of room for modifications, and anyone with a welder and basic tools can complete this project.

Leave the gas guzzler at home, get fit, and enjoy the scenery on your own recumbent trike!
