    1960,s trike from Arizona

    The husband of my wifes friend owns a trike that was built in Arizona sometime in the mid 1960's and then patented in 1973. I,m not sure how long he has had it but it is pretty cool. It runs on 24" wheels and is not made for handling, more for casual riding. But it has a few quite unique...

    delta suspension question

    The rear suspension on my red delta has developed some sideways play. The brackets for the suspension were taken off the donor bike and the trike now has prob a few thousand km's on it. Grabbing the seat back it is possible to induce some sideways motion. I did take the pivot point apart, found...

    My red delta

    Well it's been a productive winter's building in my garage. The BBS02 motor that was on the red delta was removed and placed on a 2 wheeled recumbent. Just waiting for all the snow and ice to go before learning to ride that one. My re delta has a few thousand km's on it so a change was in order...

    LWB full suspension

    Well, it's mostly finished, just a couple small details. Plus of course once spring arrives a few local shakedown rides to identify and fix any bugs. Specs include full suspension, albeit from a cheaper donor bike, 26" wheels, and a Bafang BBS02 motor.

    new build - Voyager LWB

    I decided to try a 2 wheel bent again. Previously made a High roller but found it difficult to ride so that project was dismantled and pieces were re purposed. So this time it's the Voyageur LWB. I acquired a full suspension mountain bike with 26" wheels. It's been taken apart, a bracket has...

    My latest delta project

    Well it's mostly finished now and has undergone a couple test rides. I am quite happy with it, it is very comfortable to cruise around in. It is heavy which makes it a bit of a power hog but since I have a couple 48V batteries I don't care. As noted in previous posts it routes the pedals...

    exercise bike

    I am still working on the 2wd delta but in the meantime decided to take a week off to build an exercise bike for my wife. Like many on this forum I have a good supply of parts lying around. Adding to this is a recently acquired bunch of parts from a former recumbent racer. Some time next week...

    2wd Delta

    I decide to start a new thread since the Delta is basically all new. The frame is thin wall 1/16" inch and a half square tube. It will be fully enclosed, to that I just picked up 3 four foot by eight foot sheets of yellow coroplast. The frame is just the rear platform which holds the wheels and...

    Interesting disc brake product

    Looking on youtube the other day I was watching a short video from Bolton e bikes. The product is a self contained hydraulic disc brake unit. It's cable operated right down to the caliper assembly. The caliper is double acting, unlike the "normal" Avid style disc brakes. Meaning both brake pads...

    Revamping one of my deltas

    I,ve decided to revamp my enclosed blue delta. For a few reasons. One is the itch to build has been .. well building up again. The blue delta uses fat tires that I thought would be good for snow and they were OK but the reality is any snow deeper than a few inches is pretty much impossible...

    Enclosed delta

    I won,t bore anyone here with yet another picture of my blue coro enclosed delta but I do have some plans for it this fall. At present it uses a Bafang BBSO2 mid drive motor. The drive goes from the pedals to just ahead of the seat where it uses a jackshaft to route the power to the left rear...

    Aurora delta update

    It,s now been over 3 months since I,ve been riding my Aurora style delta trike here in Winnipeg. It,s had a few issues that have come up over time, although I,ve been able to correct each one either by modifying my riding or making small equipment changes. The Main challenge is the lack of...

    Weather protection on a Fat Delta with body

    I was waiting for a rain day to test out the coro body on my trike and got a good one a coupe days ago. First some specs, it's a Delta style adapted loosely from the Loderunner plan's. It has three 26" by 4" tires. The drivetrain uses a jackshaft to route the power from the center over to the...

    fat tire delta

    Today, Mar21 I took my home made fat tire Delta trike with the blue coro body for a real nice ride. Left my home in Transcona, Manitoba around 12:30 PM and headed to downtown Winnipeg. The outside temp was around 5 below C. The darn thing exceeded my expectations. It is electric assist using a...

    aurora delta

    I was going over my Warrior with an eye to repainting it, checking the bearings etc. The front boom was bent a bit to the right and bent downwards a little from the weight of one the coro bodies. The main boom leading to the rear had a bit of a bend in from an incident a couple years ago as...

    part wanted delta wolf speed trike

    I have now built the Warrior, and a fat tire version of of a loderunner and the high roller. I could not get comfortable with the highroller so it's been recycled. I like the warrior and have put a few thousand km's on it. But I find myself liking the delta style more and more. I was just...

    fat delta

    Seems this is the proper spot for a new build. I picked up up my 2 cheap fat bikes the other day. The jack shaft parts are in the mail and my friend gave me back the High Roller i lent him so he could see if a recumbent was right for him (apparently it's not). The High Roller is going to be...
