Hey Mate, great Chanel. The P50 brought me here and I’ve been watching your other videos. Love Vanlife, can’t wait for more videos. G’Day from Adelaide, Australia!
Hello, Enjoyed the Rudge vidio. I wonder if you could help me? I'm planning a trike with similar pedal crank and I'm worried about it's strength. Could you possibly let me know the diameter of the steel the crank is made from?
Nice out-take. I would certainly be one of those too afraid to ride on a Penny Farthing so I guess I would have been riding something like this. It does remind me of my folding bike, which thanks to is very small wheels, really becomes intolerable when cycling up even a very slight slope :D Normally I just use my old racer, poor thing, I treat it more like a mountain bike :D
I wonder why they didn't just use a third small wheel instead of the giant one. Of course the gear attached to the pedals would have to be substantially larger, but it doesn't seem like it would be that difficult.
I have seen drawings of these, but never like this. It all makes sense now. Thank you for the reveal.
Looks like electric assist would be a very suitable addition for hill climbing, looks like a fun ride!
Thanks for this Alex. Another fascinating and beautifully delivered presentation
Thank you for putting this up. Cool history.
It looks like fun for city tourism
I just discovered your channel and i love it! hope to see some new content from you :)
Thank you Gremblo, season 2 will be coming out in January 2021
Great video! I would really like to try it, here in Tuscany, just like the Pennels: unbelievable!
The seating position brings it more in line with a recumbent bicycle.

Hey , thank you very much, I hope to be able to tow my p50 with my camper for future adventures one day
@@forwardtothepast2411 Sounds great. Looking forward to it.
Hats off to you Sir! Was the original design by Coventry cycles?
Do you still have this tricycle? I'd be curious to see more videos!
😊😊😊👍👍👍
Jolly marvellous. So, I'm looking for somewhere to live that is just flat, or downhill...?
👍😉

Hello , sadly I dont own it anymore, however it was made by a company called Richard's of England

in my experience, the Penny farthing is a lot less demanding to ride than the Rudge, it seems to have way more momentum : )
I imagine going uphill on a pennyfarthing was no treat either especially if you did not have the momentum.
the penny farthing is a lot easier up hill than the rudge to be honest
I have an old photo of a tricycle. Do you think that you could figure out when it was made?
Possibly
@@forwardtothepast2411 Thank you! Where should I send the photo to?
@@ginnialveymusicstudio843 I think you can privet message people on TH-cam
@@forwardtothepast2411 If you know how, could you please tell me how to private message on TH-cam? Thank you for your kindness.
It would work much better with a slight gear reduction
Yet another great video
Have you still got that penny farthing with the small wheel at the front ? Maybe a video on that ?
Hello, yes i do still have my Penny Farthing, but the small wheel is at the back : )
@@forwardtothepast2411 must be my imagination I thought you had one of these ?

the top speed would have been compromised
Convention and aesthetics from the era of carriages with large wheels.
The large wheel reduces rolling resistance some. The same effect can be seen on tadpole trikes with a large rear wheel .
