Hey all
Newbie to making trikes of any sort here, but I’m currently collecting all the parts to make a warrior trike. This trike will be used to make a homemade velomobile. My goal is to make a low-cost velo that can reach similar performance to high-end models.
Anyhow, before I start work on the trike I was looking for some advice. For the velo, a suspension is pretty much mandatory; at high speeds things would go south fast without a suspension. The other requirement is that the front wheelbase be 2 feet or less in width.
Can this be done properly? Would I need to use smaller front wheels? Would a mountain bike suspension work?
Lots of questions, patiently await your answers.
