Reverse trike search

[j-vtol]

I've been looking around the net for a reverse trike setup with an upright sitting position and has front shock suspension.

The usual examples I've found is either front load tricycles:

Or recumbents. Some recumbents have some cool, but expensive front suspension:

I want to remove components off of my current 'e-bike' .........

.......and use them towards a possible reverse trike setup. I want to return the hardtail back into a 100% human powered mountain bike. 8)

Do you guys know of any upright sitting, reverse trikes w/ decent front suspension ? No recumbents or utility versions.

While it is a high recumbent, the engineering principles are sound and simple. Check out Julian Edgar's designs. There are about 30 articles.

No pedals. They didn't respond to my email on legality?

Thanks for the replies folks.

I found a good candidate, but seems to be only sold overseas.

Troikar bike. It's still a front load version, but the front independent suspension would be worth a shot.

First, I would toss the baby seat. Lower the stem and change the handlebars to a more aggressive profile. Maybe increase the wheel diameter. There seems to be lots of low center space for battery/controller stuff.

This might be a fun platform to mess with.

I appreciate the examples everybody. Maybe this thread will expand so that other people will get ideas for their possible reverse trike project as well. 8)
