 Back in 1989  I was disabled with I fell off a house I was building and really messed up my left leg.    I decided I wanted to buy a recumbent trike that would allow me to pedal easier so I could still ride.   When I started pricing all the ones available at the time I got a real shock as most started at about $2000 and went up over $5000.   Well I couldn’t afford that so I decided to build my own. After 3 attempts I finally got something I liked.  Since that time I have been building them for local people and have branched out a bit to building electric scooters. also..
