However when you stop at lights or climb a long hill, it can get uncomfortably hot.
Don't forget the velo shell help to keep a lot of the direct sun off your body and helps to reduce the reflected heat from the road surface itself.
Compared to my trike, you certainly get more airflow on the trike, but you are also like a prawn on a barbie and can quickly burn in the sun- so like everything in life, it's all a compromise!

12v 1.5w solar array - under $10 from HK
12v 1w computer fan (again under $10)
a diode
a capacitor

and some good old silicon to seal it all up.
< $30 and around 300g (and somewhere to mount it)

What you really need to do is get cool air from outside in and an exhaust to get the humid air out. This means cutting holes in the Velo shell which is a scary idea
A bonnet scoop like this on the top shell (above your legs/knees) would be ideal but that is a really scary large hole to cut ...

PS not quite recumbent but for some reason Gumnut has a lot of people selling dynamo hubs and wheels lately, including a Shutter Precision PD-8. And geared hubs like the Alfine 8. Mostly in Adelaide and going fast.

This could be perfect for 'running' committee meetings on.

I think that the modification is mostly a plate welded onto the headtube for the recumbent boom to bolt onto. Pity that there's no pic of the bike as a bent.

Leaning Trike on Ebay

There were enough parts left over after my industrial design masters degree to make this trike. Starting price $1500, buy it now $2,000. Lots of work went into this!

Recumbent tricycle Electric
AU $500.00
Item location:
Chapel Hill, QLD, Australia
I am 81 yo, had double knee replacements 3 years ago. I loved cycling, but haven't felt confident on two wheelers. I bought a recumbent trike in kit form and assembled it and have ridden it twice to test. It still needs adjustments. It was a wrong decision to go in that direction as I have to admit I am past it and cannot handle it. So if anyone is interested in taking it over, view https://beyond-oil.com/SolEV.htm
Price? Whatever.

Early recumbent steel-framed bicycle with adjustable boom and handlebar angle. The bike would appear to suit a tall rider given the seat height. Make uncertain but looks to be at least similar to a RANS Rocket. Has a short wheelbase and 1.75” x 20” wheels with Tioga slick tyres although may need new tubes. Pedals not supplied. This recumbent in its present condition would be best regarded as a project bike. Apart from cosmetic attention particularly to areas of surface rust and general lubrication and adjustments the inner surface of the boom needs to be degreased before the bike can be used. The bike has been in storage for some time. The supplied photos form part of the description. Sold as is. Pick up only from Ashfield, Sydney. PayPal only please.
