Hello I W
And welcome, we have not had any Lady`s for some time, think a couple of them have health problems, sad to say.
I must say, this is all amazing. To start with Cannonball2, Fast Eddie, and Silver Bear are all good friends of mine, we email regularly.
A couple days ago I emailed Cannonball2 = Ben, pics of my workman trike that will make a good recumbent trike, he thinks so also. Did not know untill tonite it would be an enclosed one!!
Already have the dual wheel drive using free wheel sprockets for turning figured out. Am using the 26" workman front and a rear for my stretch cruiser. But will use the 24" workman trike wheels on the recumbent trike.
Will bolt on longer side plates for the rear axle mounting points to allow larger axle sprockets for the gas motor drive system and lower the frame a bit more. Will add a shorter suspension front fork and smaller front wheel to level frame more. The seat post will be removed for a recumbent seat mounted on the main tube. Now tonite, am even thinking of converting the JoyRider to single front wheel to be legal. And I thought I was done building!!
Had looked at Paul Elkins enclosed trike before, thinking of modifing his plan to fit my much lower, more stable Workman recumbent idea.
This thread has me inspired, as my plans are to trave in remote area`s in 2012.
Oh, I recently watched the movie of your fellow countryman, Burt Munro "The Fastest Indian Alive". An aw sum movie and true story! And he still holds the class record of 201 mph with a 1920 Indian Cycle that was a 46 yrs old when he set the record in 1967.

Ps. Seen your post after I posted , so edited this in, That is super cool, aw sum!! I could live with a trike wheel under the hood to be legal.. Very rich looking, reminds me of the 60`s model MG Midget Rag Top I owned around 1970, it was fun.
