True, Doc. My view also. But the key point is that the rider sits on the front part of the bike, driving the front wheel, with the steering head behind him -- and actually with the axis of steering running up behind his back and through his shoulders/upper back. An unusual centre-steer, with the pivot right at the back of the centre section, perhaps. Great bike though. The one in his vid is Mark 2. He sent me stills of his Mark 1. Slightly less easy ride, I believe. M2 is the real easy.

More than a year from this video and no road test..

So i think that it's not stable and drivable.

What a shame! I like this configuration so much..

Brakes it's not a problem and a gear-pack into the hub with 11 speeds are available.

An hydraulic fork on the rear would be easily mountable.. but..

if there isn't a road test of this prototype, probably, this project don't work.

Dennis Renner's beautiful creation is not really a true RWS set-up though.

I'd class it more as 'Centre-Steer' (like a Python), just with the pivot slightly further rearwards than usual (for a Python).

Brakes?

We can have all the drama on the build, but the trick to to get a RWS ridable. This being 9 months ago, I assume it is not.

wow! how did u cut the saw wheel???

[Rhisiart Gwilym]

Dennis Renner has cracked the problem of a stable, practical, easy-ride FWDRWS. See his videos at recumbentartandpoems.

Looks like a very expensive single speed recumbent that can't be ridden due to instability. Still, the engineering talent can be appreciated.

I find it hard to believe the video does not show it riding. A motionless picture instead does not convince me at all it is stable enough for a feasible riding.

Hermosa !
