Here's a short clip of the view that I have from my Lowracer.

Bunnings!

Steering looks a bit on the twitchy side.

Shot with MD80 camera mounted on helmet - the original video is much better. MD80s are cheap, but quality cameras, very small and weigh next to nothing!

The "steering " is only twitchy when riding one handed and trying to film.

Hello Nigel Schroder,

Very nice video.
Your new FWD recumbent seem to go fast and have a good stability.

I currently ride a Speedmachine . It s a very good Middle racer, just little heavy (16 a 17 Kg) but very confortable.

Now I would like to build a FWD LR like your LR.

The stainless 304 frame (Ø51x1.2)is ready.
What do you think about the head angle 75° ? (6 cm trail)

For example, I mesured head angle on my different bike.
