Walk-around tour of the controls and features of the trike. My Build Blog: www.bentrideron... And my TH-cam Channel with many more videos: / @martinhill9011
I like the idea of the electric motor, but I'd like to think I'd use it mostly without the assistance. I'm going over the next year to build my own trike.
Tilting trikes has been a holy grail idea for a long time and this is a fantastic piece of work, but it brings a lot of complication and weight to what is already an inevitably quite complicated and heavy design. I'm sceptical about the pay-off - do you find it's really worth it, setting aside your pride in what you've achieved with the build?
Hi Rob, this trike was designed from the ground up around the electric hub motor meaning that I built it stronger to handle the higher speeds enabled by that E-assist so the extra weight isn't a problem. What the tilting has allowed is for the trike to be taller with a higher seating position to see over the hoods of cars around me while still maintaining a nice narrow track width of only 80cm allowing me to fit through the bollards of pretty much any bike path thanks to the tilting which saves me from over-balancing when cornering at speed. Here is a video of the trike in action where you see it leaning into curves at speed. th-cam.com/video/vZ6-_mKERUg/w-d-xo.html I've frankly been amazed how well it works. It's not perfect yet as there are a few rough edges and some design changes I plan to make to the front suspension geometry to allow me to tilt to a greater angle, but it is my reliable regular commuter vehicle that has proved itself over these last few years. Here one of my latest videos that shows the lightweight roll-cage, windscreens and roof that I've now fitted to it: th-cam.com/video/WYAoAAKhMu0/w-d-xo.html
Thanks to the tilting front suspension, there is a good 30cm (12") wheel travel on each of the front wheels individually. If both wheels hit a bump simultaneously, wheel travel is about 10cm (4"). Wheel travel on the rear is about 15cm (6").

I like how this trike tilts. Unique in design. If I were to buy one it would be tilting one, better on corners. I love it
Просто супер велотрайк! Сделаю себе такой с такой же передней подвеской!!!!))
super cool

@@martinhill9011 Hi, thanks for getting back to me, I was leaving the electric motor out of my thinking. Cool design.
looking great !!
Hi mate very nice trike ,how long is it back to front cheers
Nice
How much front/rear suspension travel does your trike have?
Thanks to the tilting front suspension, there is a good 30cm (12") wheel travel on each of the front wheels individually. If both wheels hit a bump simultaneously, wheel travel is about 10cm (4"). Wheel travel on the rear is about 15cm (6").
wow
Hey! Nice trike! Where in Australia did you get it? Or did you make it, I'd love to hear,. I am in Victoria
Hi Alan, I made the trike to my own design. I'm in Perth WA.

Hi Jose, I designed and made this trike myself so I’m afraid it is not for sale.
Do you have plans I could buy?
Sorry Wes, the plans are all in my head!
Se uma manual já é cara imagina uma elétrica e o olho 👁 da cara
Show me to run..!! ple

You'll find many other videos of the trike in action racing up and down the road on my TH-cam Channel if that is why you were asking?
