What happened with the 'Art Deco' bike?

What happened with the 'Art Deco' bike?

I've entered a "build off" on an American forum. I'm using the Art Deco bike idea for that. It starts on 1st May and runs till September.
However I never could get a design I liked, so it's gone off the original idea. Think more swoopy streamlined kind of thing. Oh and with electric assist, hence the research.
I've just gone self employed so I just hope I can get the time

Good luck with this, if as I presume it's in this field you should do well, there can only be a handful of people with your skill set in the UK, don't under value yourself.

That was most interesting and informative.I wonder if anyone has emulated loopybikes build or other bike side car ?

 

[Jameshow]

Question if I may a client of mine with a disability that causes unsteadiness has fallen off his electric bike would a syde car help him or is a trike a better option?

 

[Oldhippy]

I'd imagine a trike would be most beneficial as it prevents falling over both sides.

You ever try riding one You need to forget everything about riding a bike, mind you can frighten yourself silly at the 15.5mph electric assist cut off speed.

 

[Oldhippy]

Only motorcycles trikes and sidecars.

The charity I work for has a Tandem trike, that was a very entertaining ride the first time I tried it. I bloody hate that thing.
