Hi Vi,
there will be more kids in the future, so it will last couple years.
Besides regarding speed this trike is the fastest of my builds including a
speculoos midracer (dual 622 and small front fairing).
On my daily commute of 32km I ride only two with the kids but the overall
speed is fast enough to compensate for the additional weight. For uphills
and getting started the ebike motor is a great addition, so weight is until
now no issue.

Hi Erik,
I have ridden some big family bikes/trikes too, and would recommend
building yourself a compact / lightweight bike for the joy of riding solo,
20" wheels maybe? Trying to make a family / cargo vehicle agile is probably
not worth it compared to safety & reliability. Plus, kids will grow out of
family bikes/trikes quickly...
Cheers,
Vi

Hi all!
I want to show You my Trike. It's a three seated for carrying my kids to
the kindergarten and daily commute to work. It's actually quite fast,
traveling speed about 32-35 kmh (~20mph). Pictures are in this German
thread:
http://www.velomobilforum.de/forum/index.php?threads/python-rikscha.40714/page-2
Currently there are two issues: Cornering stability is not so great due to
ling wheelbase, but I can arrange with that. Second is affect to the side
wind. Above 30kmh it gets creapy when its really windy.
Has anyone experience with steering damper to improve the stability?
Best regards,
Erik
