I will be building a His & Hers tadpole recumbent from parts of my Western Flyer X-53s. This will be a slow, slow, build as I'm doing a lot of home projects for my house. I also want to electrify these with small rear hub motors. Right now I'm just studying the frame and many different tadpole designs and builds to see how best I can use the parts. I don't have a plethora of used parts so I'll probably end up buying a lot of stuff in the end.
Here was my rough Paint hack to get just a rough idea. It may turn out completely different but that's the fun in it. I also tried looking at a trike design but didn't like were it was going.
Since I don't own any 20" wheel anything, I was wondering about buying two kids bikes from walmart.

It has the 20" wheel with brake and it comes with white walls! (Unique looking frame piece too)
Come Friday or Saturday I'll start to play with the frame. :shock:
