@pinla Hi there, as I have said "Unfortunately this bike was written off in a high speed crash ,about two weeks after this video was made".The crash was caused by an uncontrollable wobble at about 55kph.I ended up in a ditch with my helmet in a million pieces(very luckily to walk away from that) As for the frame the front end was to bent to fix.
After this I designed a new twist chain Fwd bike (as can be seen in my latest videos)
Te felicito por el diseño , creo que si la evolucionastes a las recumbentes , tenés el diseño en autocad?dwg? Te dejo mi email gustavoamengual@gmail.com saludos
Do you have any CAD schematics or build plans for this bike? I'm looking to build a recumbent Gravity Bike, and this bike has a brilliantly low center of gravity!
Very sharp looking bike! Steering geometry is always the tricky part I belief. I really hope you'll get right next time. I very much like the visual appearance of your bike. A shame it crashed. Keep up the great work!
How did like that bike, I see wobbling when you try to spin, is that because you wre not used to the bike ?
did you try it uphill ? I heard that FWD bent climb better, do you confirm that ? doesn't the low position of the Bottom Brackett limit the power you can generate ?
Also can you really spin fast downhill or does it start to wobble ?
@dou40006 I did like this bike a lot ,and yes it did climb quite well. But as I said in the "Description" this bike was written off in a crash. I think I had the trail wrong, which is why it wobbled.
Thanks, I see , the design was based on shallow angle for the column direction to reduce the steering induced pedaling effect but this type of geometry give bizarre behavior, with the bike that tends to fall when you steer.
Do you think it could climb better than a regular RWD bike, there is a trend of thought who say that FWD bent climb better but I am still trying to find evidence of this
@dou40006 I believe that it climbed better than my RWD bike.I think that FWD bikes may not climb so well on steep hills as they get wheel spin.( I will put it to the test when I finish building my new twist chain FWD bike)
what's happen of your new MBB low racer?. [crash] too fast? lose control? frame?
thanks.

@TheRenegaderacer sorry I don't have any build plans, deleted them after the crash.Best of luck with your build.

Your steering geometry in a Right 45 degree angle.

Very similar to what I'm now building. Nice machine!
