minibulldesign built a tadpole trike w/ 26" wheels all around. He said he doesn't take turns very fast, or sharp, because he feels them bend when they get a side load. Animas Quadracycle uses 20" wheels and makes disks to replace the spokes. Watch his videos! I ride a Sun recumbent delta trike that's rated to 400 Lb.s. It uses 20" wheels w/ lots of spokes. I put 100 psi in my tires & don't feel a lot of rolling resistance, but I do feel the 60 Lb. trike plus the 60 Lb. dog I haul along.
A standard diff sends all the power to the wheel in slippery mire, the wheel on solid ground doesn't get any power. It just turns the one w/ the least turning resistance. An overriding diff acts like both wheels are locked for receiving power so power goes to both wheels, not just the one w/ the least resistance. Also, both are free to turn faster than the other wheel, such as in a turn. They're easier to machine, no gears. The downside is they power only the wheel on the inside of a turn.
@Oogie1st There are diffs out there for trikes but they're a bit pricey. I've wondered why no one runs two chains from the jack-shaft, one for each 1/2 shaft and have a single sprocket freewheel on each of them. You wouldn't get both wheels powering in turns but they'll both hook up in the straight-a-ways. It'd be especially helpful when off-road. Take care.
thats good to know as am considering building contraption like a quadracycle and velomobile combined out of wood, considering 26" bicycle wheels at back but don't know if they'd survive long before buckling, think i'll end up using old kid bicycle wheels as there like 12". i was thinking wheelbarrow wheels at start but am thinking they'd slow it down even more.
For a Delta Trike I think this is a nice design, albeit a li'l bit fragile. It could be vastly improved with two freewheels as stated below but I still prefer Tadpole Trikes...
I have a different brand of trike & I've broken 5 rear derailers in 3 years. I watch the road closely & I manage to avoid most hazards. With that said, there are times when I'm distracted by something else. like making sure the truck coming up on me doesn't smear my guts all over the road, and I hit something, CACHUNK! When you first start riding, you don't know what'll hit it, so you bust 2 derailers before you get a clue. Hint, go over speed bumps w/ both rear wheels.
ok cool, i was only thinking 26" on back, so am alright as am going to stick small wheels on front. ive seen a few of the animas quadracycle.am not going to hauling anything with it, ive just got to make it able to haul all 196 lb of me, plus few spaces
besy layout without question if theres better it ll be from here or a take off reeallly like the pedals behind tghe wheel hate em out in fromt it is howe you say el dorko
It's definitely a possibility if you straddle a decent size rock, branch, etc. There is a degree of protection afforded by the fact that the rear derailleur sits between the two rear wheels, but anything that can get in between them is a potential buzzkill.
Sr. Estamos começando a fabricar handbikes pra cadeirantes aqui em Novo Hamburgo/RS, para passeios, não corridas, sem interesse comercial e sim social, no entanto nos deparamos com uma situação na tração traseira: o diferencial, já que uns cadeirantes querem adaptar junto motores de bikes (49/80cc 2T). Ví na sua, que parece ter algo diferente nessa questão. Pergunto, poderias nos ajudar? Obrigado, Fabio
Sr. Fábio, o senhor pode usar duas catracas comuns para criar um pseudo diferencial, onde a roda externa ficará livre em uma curva. Existe muitos deltas usando esse sistema aqui no RUclips. Também construí uma handbike.
looks the part Cool . but nothing New here. this is a one wheel drive . see only one axle side is use'd "No diff" may be higher Friction losses in useing two loops of bicycle chain.on the drive line. .
Two wheel drive is easily obtainable simply by using two free-wheels. One on each half axle. Particularly when a jack shaft is already provided as in this Rans machine. It seems that Rans can't do a simple browser search for trike 2WD. Or don't care to provide two wheel drive at minute extra cost. That said, one wheel drive is perfectly adequate except for the slipperiest of conditions. It hardly matters with such a poor frame design.
I bought a 2009 Trizard, new old stock, 4 years ago and as a retirement present, to myself. I love my Trizard! :) :) :)

the coolest 3 wheel trike in this video!

That derailer could cause some bad issues! Nice trike.

There's a British guy who makes them in his garage. Google tricycle differential. It's actually an overiding sprag design, not a typical diff.

Some accounts say the Trizard is dead, others say it's just gone away for a little while.
What a beautiful Delta Recumbent Trike. #DRT

I like rans airplanes I built the S-9 he is a great designer of airplanes and bikes.
nice work!
The rear derailleur is awfully low to the ground.
Wouldn't it be demolished by the first speed bump you go over?
Did you buy it or you built it yourself,it's good..

This is a long shot, but I really need a copy of the Trizard owners manual. Can you point me in the right direction?!
People on taller bikes still get hit by cars. None of the RBR staff have been hit by a car while out triking.
I see that it is left side driven. Have you ever had stability issues?
love it !!
Very good, congrats....
Dont get me wrong its a great idea... on a cycling track, just not sharing it with 100ton 40+ wheeler on a main highway.
Cheers
besy layout without question if theres better it ll be from here or a take off reeallly like the pedals behind tghe wheel hate em out in fromt it is howe you say el dorko
which bicycle thieves song is this? I looked at 7 songs of their and didn't find it.

wouldn't it be easier to make a smaller version of a normal differential of cars?
That said, I really like it.
Donde la puedo pedir?
Dear Santa ...
No longer listed on rans.com
but where do you carry your stuff ?
+eph5121 Stuff is carried in side pods slung over the seat.
What's the name of the song?
супер
what is the song???
looks the part Cool . but nothing New here.
this is a one wheel drive . see only one axle side is use'd "No diff"
may be higher Friction losses in useing two loops of bicycle chain.on the drive line. .
I want one. 7-Jan-2010.
i don't like the wheel configuration,it should always be two at the front and one at the back,more stable that way.
Designed far too low, traffic would be put at risk... NEXT PLEASE!
I'm so dizzy
Understandable. This is probably the worst video I've ever created, and yet has the most views. :)
god,,,!!
One wheel drive ?
Shame
Someone has to build a differential for bikes hah
more li se sa ovim skripat
lots of flex

I think you can not climb whith that thing, just for plane streets.
