The coolest trike I have ever seen! Pure functional, kinetic artistry. Why aren't you selling these?! I can assure you, a lot of people would buy one even if it cost more than their car!
You have my respect people dont even know what hard work it is to build a bike like this. the details like the pinstriping and crome, welding fabrication and dedication ..... especialy the atencion to detail!
Sorry but I'm 71 years old and retired now. I actually built the bike for my retirement years to cruise the boardwalks and get my exercize. I'm lovin it!!
Working on one now. Shelby gt500 Eleanor theme. For my mother she is going to use it for her fishing gear. Its a classic sun 7speed. Totally went thru all new bearings. Convert to 7speed. Maybe add electric in a few years she doesn't want it now. Paint is in progress now. Not blasted all hand prep primer paint. This was an old trike. I will try my hand at my first pinstripe work. Badge gt500 and Eleanor. My grandmothers name. Done? Friday?
What it cost to build ,& are there any out there similar, it's powered just peddling,or can u get one electric Im going to try N build me one , nice trike, real nice, im 55 yrs. Young hopefully I'll finish by time I'm 60 years old 😎
I originally was going to say that I wished that bike manufactures would take notice of this example of craftsmanship... But as I was typing the words, I found my self thinking if that were to happen, this true piece of artistic craftsmanship would be lost..! I love it's clean flow of curved lines which where a standard for cars of a era that seems to be so far forgotten.. Curves like the curves on a Cadillac or Bentley and other beautiful cars that can only be seen in a museum today... People take notice this is the work of an artist who's skills are just dripping off this gorgeous work of art... My hat goes off to you, and a standing ovation could not be enough respect to the art.... I can not wait to see your next piece...!
WHAT A MASTERPIECE! It’s not only built to outlive our great-grandchildren, but it’s sure to do it in extraordinary style. Are you going to market with it?
awesome. if your not building anymore of these bikes , how about selling the plans ? I want one of them, it's the best cruising beach trike I've seen. great job
I built one similar a few years back, but instead of a rear seat I bolted on a 2" ball hitch so the ole lady wouldn't slip off the back...she enjoyed the ride!
VERY cool. I don't want one. The day I need an adult trike with a motor to get around I hope I have the good luck to keel over dead BUT awesome build buddy. I wish you thousands of hours of great weather to ride in.
Found this while trying to find a commercial variant in Tasmania of all places.. anyway just wanted to say Sweet & wow, that is just beautiful, looks comfy to ride too.. now I want my BF to make me one of these.. lol though he will need to learn to weld first lol. :)
Sweeet ride! Greetings from Key West. Your engineering and craftsmanship would be much appreciated, here at the end of US Rt 1. C'mon down and look up our local trike club. Best regards, Charlie.
Could you tell me how you wired the electric wheelchair motors up I'm disabled and that would work out for me to go riding some with my grandkids thank you
"Axels" is shown at least twice. Those should be spelled Axle. I'm a bit surprised that a cycling video misspells axle. Credits: "Techinical" Technical Is it too late to correct those spelling mistakes in this video?
That is a work of art,simply beautiful.
Wow. That's amazing craftmanship and quality, I wish I could ride this bike.

And then you could add an exponential to bike prices L:
Amazing with a differential no less. If these were made would buy one TODAY.
totally awesome tricycle. the craftsmanship is off the hook. thanks for posting this video, this is the stuff dreams are made of!
WHAT A MASTERPIECE! It’s not only built to outlive our great-grandchildren, but it’s sure to do it in extraordinary style.
Are you going to market with it?
Wow, that's just pure class and grade-A workmanship there. Absolutely beautiful.
that is one gorgeous trike. .. never thought I'd ever put gorgeous and trike in the same sentence !!
That is a work of art😍😍😍😍
Beautiful work.
A trike with a hidden engine. Perfect. Just needs a tow hitch for a trailer.
Excellent ! Using rear differential is a rare thing this day.
Customized bike nice job beautiful work man you can ride around on that thing all day coming from somebody who builds drift trikes nice job brother
outstanding. just wrapped my warped little mind around a new concept!
awesome. if your not building anymore of these bikes , how about selling the plans ? I want one of them, it's the best cruising beach trike I've seen. great job
Very nice..!! (I tried your build link but it's disabled).
magnífico triciclo, ya me gustaría tener uno en Madrid
WOW what a build MAD SLILZ is an understatement!!!

RL, you're a genius.
Wow. Nice build
Music often ruins the video.... but when its cool music, Totally Cool Video!!!
Pretty awesome build Rick!!!
Make them from aluminum. Make the template out of plywood and cut them on a band saw and then round the edges on a router table. You can do it!
it looks great ! and the ideea that having front-disc brake it's brilliant :D . i guess in the back you have disc-brake too :D
How did you do the trunk. I have been wanting to do something like that for my Schwinn meridian trike
is it possible to customize a schwinn into a trike? i like how this trike was customized.
Totally awesome !!... and what if you use white wall tires ?
You have magic in your hands,
Very nice, I want one!
love the springer
Danm that bike is sick
Id love these more than a car!!
great job ! you have skills
Could you tell me how you wired the electric wheelchair motors up I'm disabled and that would work out for me to go riding some with my grandkids thank you

Took the word right out'a my mouth ...

I LOVE IT!!!
Ótimo um triciclo desses pra transporte de compras de super mercado

Is it too late to correct those spelling mistakes in this video?
+Joanna Saville c'mon - he call 'em "breaks" too.
Just enjoy the build and creativity.
I was wondering how much it weighed . . .
This coming from someone with a name that can be spelled 20 different ways. smh
NICE
killer
Hey Richard, any chance you can build one for me???
Sorry, but I built this for my Retirement and cruzin the beach's. I am now Retired, thanks, Rick
+Richard Leonhardt The danger is that the two top causes of cancer are:
Inactivity
Pesticides.
So, leave the motor at home?
And pedal hard?
There's a lot of work to do riding any bike, even with a motor.
How come the video is no longer available? :/
+C. Neale : I don't know, I get it on my computer.
+Richard Leonhardt oh, I guess it's RUclips then. Won't load on the iPhone
Do u kow where I can hav a or buy a Westport bike????
I have never heard of one.

You still ride this? If not I will ;)
