custom built recumbent bike
Posted: Sat Oct 06, 2012 11:33 pm
I have some questions.
I am aiming to have a recumbent bicycle custom built or buy one and adapt it to suit the needs of my 9 year old son who was born without arms. I really don't know much about how the recumbent bike.
My questions are,
which is better custom built or adapt a recumbent?
braking?
steering? as he does not have much upper body weight.
Are there any Australian safety standards required if the recumbent is custom built or modified? i.e engineers certificate.
If a recumbent bicycle was to be custom built. What is the best material to make it? i.e chromoly.
