Welcome to the forum ruszip1, glad you joined us.

I have seen a few recumbent motorized tadpoles around town but never paid too much attention on how they have done it. I think we have at least one member that has done it. If I can remember who it was and find them I will post a link.

Welcome, ruszip,
Yes, there are other Colorado bikers here. You've already heard from one. I'm another. I toyed with the idea of doing a tadpole a year or so ago. Had a line on a brand new, still in the box trike but the guy wanted too much for it. $1700.00 was a little steep for a semi-retired guy like me so I abandoned the idea and stuck with 2 wheelers. I used to have a link to a good looking tadpole build but lost it. I have a little three wheeler that I keep looking at and wondering what kind of project I could build with it but having too much fun with the three 2 wheelers I have now...Maybe someday. Glad you joined us. Keep us informed on what you decide to build and we're here with answers to all your questions.
