taking a human power vehicle up to "highway" speeds.. seems risky, how well will it handle and stop from those speeds??
Very poorly I'd imagine. Still fun to visualize though.efMX Trials Electric Freeride said:
(Fwiw, the nearest highway to me is a 4 lane surface street with a 60kph limit. Lots of 60kph builds here that started life as human powered vehicles, though few are equipped with rim brakes and an oar I suspect.)
We're limited to 32kph on ebikes though, highway, byway, or otherwise.

Their Solar Trip 2018 bike was a tandem pedal/row vehicle.

i actually found untread ground when i started playing with recumbents. I had to actually turn to another forum for help. It is cool to be able to add something unique to this already astounding body of knowledge.
I've been intently following along with your 'bent journey and have found myself perusing Craigslist lately, scoping out the local used market. I still have much to learn about what makes a good recumbent a good recumbent as the designs vary greatly, and my better half would probably be none too pleased with another bike purchase so soon after the last acquisition, but I suspect an electric reclining lounge chair is somewhere in my future.neptronix said:HK12K said:

...not sure if I could pull this off without a lot of carbon fiber vinyl though

Anyone here aware of any existing conversions?
I believe forum member rowbiker has one.
