Click here to see Rafael's latest Recumbent Trike
Rafael Bautista built
this nice Front Wheel Drive / Rear-Steer recumbent trike. He lives in Imus
Cavite, Philippines.
After researching many recumbents on-line he built this cool trike in about
three months. It is built from ordinary
bicycle parts; its seat is adjustable and it leans when steering left or
right.
He says it is quite
heavy because he used iron (GI) tubing. It has steering handles on each side and
you just balance
it to go straight. The photos were taken at BayWalk in Manila.

Not long after posting the above trike photos Rafael sent these shots of his latest creation. Interesting steering arangement and a nice job overall!
