I am in the market for a Big Wheel... homemade like yours...LOVE IT. Think 200 bucks? I live in Kansas City. email me @ Rockergirl99@hotmail.com I do a critical mass every month...would love to sport this out & get you more business from networking. 250 bikers would be jealous & want one too. :) please respond back. thanks!
Good job, but it looks heavy on the front end, seat should be adjustable and shorter cranks, your foot was way out there, and that heavy motorcycle wheel doesent help. but man you did a damn good job:)
Ahh, but the seat is adjustable, if you don't mind turning a handful of nuts.
I agree with you about the cranks being too long. My initial idea was to make them longer for increased leverage, and therefor more torque. However, it does feel just a little odd, though you get used to it.
The front wheel is a motorcycle wheel from a Honda XL600. I modified the drum by welding a hub to it where the cranks get bolted on. There is no free wheeling. When the wheel moves, so do the pedels.
cool, can anyone please tell me where do you get the front wheel with the free wheel on it I just built one , I have a unicycle tire on it thanks

I like it ! It needs wider wheels & fatter tires in back ! they make polished alloy wheels for golf carts that would be perfect.

I like the front end, it's very rugged.
It's definately a conversation starter...

What did you use for the front wheel? Is it free wheel can you have your feet on pedals and not be spinning the wheel?
