    TTrike!!!!

    Great stuff! I believe it Great stuff! I believe it will eventually be just a conversion kit for the V20 and the Silvio (or even the softrider and quest.) This will also double up as a trainer for those new to MBB. They can then later just convert to a two-wheel MBB recumbent and...

    Congratulations on you new Congratulations on you new Silvio-2! It will get better with practice. Just ensure that you include several "figure eight" maneuvers in your practice sessions. Then probably add some alternate one handed rides on the easier flat sections. Repeat them several...

    No Hands!

    Well done Ivan. It's just a Well done Ivan. It's just a matter of practice and it will become second nature. It actually is easier than on a DF. On private roads, I can ride figure 8's and even U turns hands free. I also can descend 2-5% grades at 30+KM/h hands free. With a bit of a...
