Warrior Racing Trike
Build Your Own Racing Tadpole Recumbent Trike!
The Warrior is one fast and great looking DIY Tadpole Trike that you can make using only basic tools and parts.
There isn't one machined part on the entire trike, and it is just made from basic bicycle parts and mild steel tubing.
You can build your own hot looking trike using only basic skills and tools, and our plans take you through the entire build from beginning to end.
A "Tadpole" Trike has two wheels in the Front, with the cranks placed ahead of the front wheels. This design is considered to be most stable for high speed cornering and handling as it creates a shorter wheelbase and low center of gravity.
Build This Trike With Basic Tools and Parts.
We design our plans so that anyone with a desire to build can make their own great looking DIY tadpole trike
Every single step of the build is shown in great detail, and the plans assume you have only the basic tools such as a hand drill, angle grinder, and any basic welder.
Only common bicycle parts are used, and the frame is made from basic steel square tubing. No experience necessary to build!
Although the entire trike is made using only basic steel tubing and recycled bicycle components, nothing about it looks homemade. The Warrior Racing Trike offers many features not found on a commercially produced trike costing many times more.
Full Disc Brakes and Responsive Under Seat Steering.
This trike was made for speed, and it is as fun to ride as it looks. Hit the corners at full speed, and leave those uprights in the dust!
With its low and reclined recumbent seating position, you will have an aerodynamic advantage as well as the ability to push hard on the cranks.
With 15 or more speeds you can easily switch between full out racing mode to hill climbing mode with the flick of a lever.
All of the components require to make the tadpole trike steering system are fully detailed, only requiring basic tools and parts. You will be able to create an amazing tadpole trike on a very minimal budget, even if it's your first build.
Stable Riding, Comfortable Seating, and Disc Brakes.
The Warrior DIY Tadpole Trike has everything that the expensive store-bought trikes have, except the high price tag.
Dual or Triple Disc brakes will provide almost instant stopping for all types of riding conditions.
The under seat linked steering will provide extremely stable handling no matter how you ride. Racing into corners, dodging city traffic, or just enjoying that long country commute.
The square tubing frame makes cutting and welding easier since most cuts will be straight. The plan describes in great detail how to make every single part, many of which can be salvaged from old bicycles.
