Honda 1HP motor 35cm
Dual computer tower Crank RPM and Heart Rate.
Old Ryan seat, round yellow foam is a Lumbar support
The starter rope is above left shoulder.
Working on being able to engage drive roller (even though it freewheels) when I need it and remove it when it isn't needed. Freewheel drive roller system is very noisy and provides a considerable drag when not needed.
Can top out at 30mph with pedaling assistance, and 12+ going up hill with assistance.
Stop button in on left brake lever
Right side Dual Shimano V-rear brakes, and speed lever
Nashbar bag on right has spare tire tubes and tools, to counter balance the Honda motor. 70ML Water Bag in middle with handicapped sign.
I used oversized 4130 N chromium molybdenum tubing. From AirParts Inc.
I build a seat bracket from 4 layers of MDO 3/4" plywood with TEE Nuts and bolts to hold to gather. Seat tube has 3/16" x3/16" square rod welded to side for seat to move.
Kick stand is from regular bike with an extension bar.
I ride the recumbent when I can without assistance, but with A-FIB heart trouble, I need extra help up the hills.
I MIG welded it without lugs, with some brazing rod add-ons.
