Egor, I really want to try the recumbent. How are they to ride? I keep coming back to jumping to my feet in a "oh sheet" moment. Am I wrong?

Dan - Hi I can;t tell you how it rides I have not ridden the bike yet, still under construction. I never got the feeling that it would be a job to ride, we have quite a few around the bike path and they are mostly ridden by older gentlemen so they can't be that hard to ride. The length is a bit of a thing to get used to, but not hard. Have fun, Dave
Talked To A Fellow Last Year, He Had A Nice Recumbent. He Likes His, But Said Going Uphill Is More Difficult, Because You Can`t Stand Up On The Pedals. His Was Not Motorized. Ron
good sir, where did you get the fabulously large head light and what powers it? many thanks.
keep up the good work, i like it
hey i just got it running for the first time yesterday, it wasnt that bad honestly, the riding position is actually pretty comfortable. on the other hand, however, im not really going to use the pedals very much, only to get it started and to keep it legal so it is pretty hard to ride if u plan on pedaling alot
ya i have just taken it apart and working on it here and there but i dont have alot of time because i am away at school, hopefully i will have it done by Christmas break
Finally, I'm Back!!!
After 2 years of grueling school work I finally made time to finish my bike. Its been a long time coming but I'm glad i waited because i got to use some awesome facilities to paint and assemble it.

2 Years is a real long time, but WOW this thing is worth the wait. Very original and one of the cleanest bikes ive seen in a while. Outstandidng job
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great build and very clean and tight. How did you do the gas tank? It looks like it's inside the two outer schwinn covers, do you have more detail on that? Thanks and again great original build!
Yea, I welded together an inner tank to be able to hold gas and used the schwinn phantom tank on the sides of that.
I will soon have a youtube video up of it in action. Just waiting to finish upp all the little details
