Hello new friends,
i am new on this list. few months ago, as i was visiting Spezi, i met a guy
and his girl, Uwe friend chris. Flevobikes and trikes' expert and fan. Uwe was
presenting his last invention.
I got intrested in this system because of my two new friends, lovely
personns by the way, not only genius " bastler".
Since, i haven't stop to push my curiusity and learn more and more about the
subject.
How can see the finished work from:
- Laurent Dechenne from Belgium
- Torben Scheel from Denmark
- Jürgen Maier from Germany
- Alain Branca from Corsica
- Euardo LP jr from Brazil
- Michael Rienstra from California
- Mike Channon from Canada
- Burket Kniveton from California
- Stefan Knorr from Germany
- Scott Rose from Washington;
How can i see photos from others constructions ? how can i pick up from your
experiences ?
Do you have an yearly meeting like the Velomobile have ?
Thank you in advance for all the informations helping me to discover your
world.
I am planning to start constructring a working flevotrike able to carry 250
kg. Jürgen, told me,
Gavin Katts has constructed something which could be a model for me. Gevin,
wo bis du ? où es tu ? if you read my message, i would love to get some advise
from you.
On internet i found some models made in States, Hauler trike hpv, or
something like...

Hello Thomas,
i think you are right. In the firts attempts to ride the flevobike i used
handlebars at the rear part. These bars helped me to support my upperbody, it
gave me the steadiness i needed to steer with the hips and lowerbody. Actually
i kept them on the bike for almost two years before they started to annoy me
and i removed them.
On the python i don't have them mounted, and i don't need them (maybe because
of the flevo-exercises?).
Have fun and good and save rides.
Greetings,
henk.

Hej do,
I have finally brought my python home from the workshop in Ganløse to make some
first expirience. Today I circled 3 hours in the park. my son enjoyed seeing
father like 3 years old. He want's a python too. :-) And he insisted it should
be a python :-)). not just recumbant.
Maybe he is right.
My first try, really just a few 100 meters, was without handle bar. ...and
brakes. Now I attached one handlebar to mount back brake and the gear shifter.
And now, with the new situation,whenever I touched the hadlebar, I tiped over.
:-I
But then after 3 hour in the park, I have learned to USE the handlebar. It is
attached to the seat. So I can actually use it to support - with my hands - the
body steering.
Or you say: I learned body steering because of the handlebar. But I don't think
so.
I know I sound rediculous trying to discuss with you guys. You have really
experience. And I know that is needed :-). But without using the handlebar, I
cannot role the bike without padelling. I have tried both!!
So I think: handlebars are good. And I could imagine, that the same applies at
high speed.
I have no idea though, how it would feel, when the handlebars would be attached
to the front part. It would certainly not support in the same way!?
I definetly need a propper seat. I have quickly constructed something from an
old camping chair supported by a fork. I expect the 'propper' seat will give me
more steering control.
.......Maybe then, I don't feel the benefit of the handlebars an longer. :-(
Most important: It was great fun.
It's improving. I can still dream about it - because I am far from perfect on
the bike-, but I can already imagine what it will be like. :-)
Thanks for sharing the python idea!!

No, there is no dirt coming from the front wheel. Only during rain
weather my legs come somewhat more wet from on the inside, of drops that
fly sideways from the fender. But it is not something grave.
Since I have big apples (406-50) mounted, the inside of my leg touch the
tire side wall while pedalling, very minimally, and there is no sign off
wear on my pants yet (2000km with big apples now). Because Mike sits
lower, he had more trouble on his bike with touching the tires, so he
made two aluminium plates (if you look at his project picture, then it
is ones with the big holes in) on each side to protect his pants from
wear. May be you might have the same trouble as Mike?
