I would like to make a recliner bike for my girl friend. Her father is a welder and i do design. Does anyone know of any good sites which have plans for recliner bikes.


Answer
Are you talking bike or trike?

If a bike try the grounghugger it is available as plans
http://www.rqriley.com/bike.html

If your talking trike you will need to get familiar with the terms ackerman compensation and brake steer. See this link for some details and basic plans.

You should find a heap of info if you do a general search on recumbent bike/trike plans. (throw in a few more specifics to narrow down the search.

I recently went through the exercise of designing a recumbent . The hassle came when sourcing and costing out of the project. It cost way more than I could buy one ready made. ( I also doubt I would have got it right the first time ).

If you are keen on design at least have a look at some of the ready mades to get some ideas from. I enjoyed the exercise and learnt heaps from it. I don't own one yet but I'm working on it.

Check out this link to find your nearest dealer. And check their prices.

Does anyone ship a Stamina Magnetic Resistance 4825 Recumbent Bike to South America Lima-Peru?

Q. I just saw it on Amazon, but they ship inside USA. I need to buy one bout it needs to be ship to Lima-Peru.
I will appreciate any info.
thanks
No body sells the recumbent bike in my county, Lima-Peru. The shipping by airline cargo cost more than the bike itself. that's true. $300 just shipping.


Answer
Recumbent exercise bikes are heavy and bulky. International shipping rates are expensive. The cost for shipping that machine to Lima would be much more than the price of the bike itself. You will do better buying locally
