Great ideea to put the kid there, my dad had the same ideea when I was a kid and I stayed 6 month in hospital with legs broken ( even was a bike crash at very low speed 10 meter away from home, he just fall over me with the heavy bike, I got external fractures at legs )
All I want to say is even some situations don't seem dangerous at all, they can turn ugly in 1 second. Ride safe !
when or if I grow up I want me a recumbent urban tricycle.i want me a cheeseburger!I'm going to get me a cheeseburger!
Exellent. I am building one in SA. Thank you for sharing.
father of the year award...
compacto e eficiente, da até para andar na chuva
Thank You for sharing some details. Lean steering is good for high speed cornering and a particular road feel. Your design reminds me of the Drymer.
Yes,its the same category as Drymer. Pedelec vith just 250 W . Thats why I am thinking about exclusion of leaning. Its not a speed machine.Just relax, exercise and fun.
I need one of those.
Hi, I think the hinged U-bar can be assembled with rigid lateral glazing and front windshield together and raise them both. So the egg cage gives just support and protection.
what is a U-bar and lateral glazing?
Very cool, excellent design.
A great multi function unit. Adding a cushion on the front luggage carrier would, to
me would add comfort for the little guy on a longer ride
Hi Jesike. Thanks for opinion. I love people who always look on the bright side of life, and good luck with yours projects. Even craziest thing is better than just making a noise.
"Mad Max" comes to mind...
Hi Ken. Here are some answers.
There is room just for one adult inside the Egg, but it seem interesting to develop some kind of lap child seat option. I already have optional modified rear rack for child seat low above rear wheel. All top of the Egg above U bar is possible to cover with transparent plastic rain cover, which is possible attach in 1 minute and it folds up with U bar during getting in and off.
Width 90 cm, height 145 cm and length 210 cm. Its mixed construction from steel and aluminum tubes and fiberglass. Weight is horrible...45kg but will be reduced by using aluminum only and simplification or exclusion of leaning mechanism.Leaning is working - but I want it stable straight and intuitive in turns...
Windshield is polycarbonate.
I hope you will collect funds for your project - happy you have kickstarter.
Good luck and thanks for interest.

the girl in the background in pink was looking like "I need one of those"!
That kid in front just became a bumper. lol
Unconfortable fitting for that particular biologic airbag . :)
Very like the egg shape :)
I've got a great idea, lets use an actual kid in place of a front bumper!
Congratulation! You are on the good way to find how to use brain. This your great idea is here repeatedly for more than one year despite my explanation. So, go on, one day you will get it faster, maybe in a month :] .
G56AG made me laugh.
Looks like the eggheads at Egg Tricycle don't have a sense of humour.
Looks like your egg size brain made a new record and get the fun side of child bumper two years after first appearance - congratulation Johny!
There is space for only one,in my opinion.Should be great for work commute and shopping especially in uncertain weather.
Hi Romy.
You're right. Egg is designed for metropolitan traffic. I spent several years in London using a Brompton bike as the main mode of transport. With the ability to benefit from the bus lines and bicycle paths, I was in rush hour faster than cars and buses and freer and cheaper than the subway.
Simple tubular construction, use of conventional bicycle parts and removable battery and seats as Passive Anti-theft protection will allow you to lock Egg on the street and leave it there overnight - maybe with more locks in most places :( .
Thanks for your interest.
Robert.
very cool machine !!
somewhat less rock n roll than the music suggests
yay 2 red head boys. same here! and A lay back bike also same. wacky world
I like it.
1-How 'cheap' have you been able to keep it?
2-Any plans for commercial production, or selling in kit form?
3-I would have liked to see how the adult gets in and out of the cage.
4-I wish you had taken a video of your wife pedaling without the child on her lap so we can see the space between her knees and handlebars. and the angle of the seating position.
5-How do you adjust for different size riders/length of legs?
I noticed how the u-shaped bar lifts up for rider to enter the cage, but in case of a side hit by a fast moving vehicle what about this bar breaking/ snapping and getting stuck into the rider and adding to the probably pretty horrible injury from the collision?
If you could kindly give us some answers it would be great.
Good job, all in all.
Cheers,
Iks'r
Hi Iks'r.
Egg-how I call it now, will be in commercial production as soon as possible. Price of the basic frame will hopefully be under 2000 Euro. Possible customization -rear rack child seat, rain cover, transport containers, motorization etc. will add something to the price.
Seat and back support is adjustable-just forward direction, handlebars are adjustable in both-height and forward direction. Frame, including U-bar will be from alu- profiles. So in case of the side hit it will bent. Egg is designed for urban commuting- in Europe is urban traffic speed limited mostly by 50 km/h. Also pedelec moto-speed is limited by 25 km/h. So driver cage will do a lot for you in case of flip over or light crash,but forget about immortality.
Thanks for interest and comments,
Robert
Great project!!!
haha, the crappy lense of that phone it's filmed with makes the bike look wobbling. though it's a cool bike. like it.
minh thich xe nay qua .ma o viet nam khong co
I'd love to do this.
Nice
Thumbnail pic showing different tri cycle why?
...OF ALL THE MUSIC. ..YOU PICKED THAT! gESEH!
Cool project. I'm assuming the steering is your own design? Would be nice to know about the details. And the rear end looks like it's off another bike.. Was that off a recumbent?
Hi.Thanks for interest. The steering and tilting is my own experiment - not finished yet. I am building recently upgraded version of the EGG -alloy,better ergonomic, hub motor, integrated cargo box and no tilting. Tilting is nice idea but it was shown overcomplicated=heavy, and unpractical=bad directional stability is the price to pay for intuitive mechanical tilting. May be I am wrong - I am still trying to find solution.
The rear end is from the child MTB. I hope my son will forgive me... :)
I like a baycicl
cool bike. I'm on my 2nd v rex and own a trek r200. acquired a GRR soon to be available for sale...LOVE THE egg. i live in Manhattan nyc. what type of metal/plastic is the cage made from? how is it fastened to the bike? what type of trike? thanks man really cool
Hi! The shell is from steel tubes and fiber glass - quite heavy solution :( . All the trike is build from old child bike :).
Check the Schaefller bio hybrid concept- also cool one.
Awesome, I live in Argentina and even tough I got problems (can not walk, confined to a wheel chair) with all lumbar vertebae I got enough strength to move a fix bycicle pedals for every day. The cover is increasing the "egg" weight and it will mean a problem for my wife, so I will no go for it. What will the FOB American port price. Thank you.
Sorryfor late answer - the trike is not in production.
very interesting project. great design for pedal electric option. you should add a windshield wiper. do you have a website? to follow your project.
Hi Larry. Thanks for interest. Good point about the wiper-even manual one might be very helpful. No website for now. I will set up one for new improved tricycle when ready for presentation - hope January 2015.
Great concept! I just don't like the idea of the convertible front bumper (from your kid to a bumper) :D
super kool i would buy it just now, where can i get one . uito legal onde encontro uma agora ..
Ďáñgéŕóús!!!!
My home town is not bicycle oriented, This vehicle would not survive a week of commuting. It would be a target...
how much does it cost?
nice. verykurwajegomać nice! :*
Donde puedo conseguirlo ya que tengo un niño con discapacidad es ideal para el
wonderfull
🚴♀️の形の屋根付きいいね🎶🚪も付けて欲ちいなぁ💖でも免許不要なら是非ともgetしたいですね🎶荷物用📦の🧺付きでね🎵ね🎶😃傘☔も不要だったりしつてねぇ🎶💡❣️🤭🎶❣️😃
In indonesia it is called BECAK.
Hola, me parece excelente este vehículo. Cuanto cuesta y de que forma es posible adquirirlo? Por favor contesten. Gracias
La página está en la descripción del video, pero solo está en ingles
its great,,love too buy one add a bike rv,
nice
I like the concept!! Can you use clipless pedals??
Hi! Sure,no problem to use clipless pedals.
Sweet!
where can I get one and how much is it for one
Everyone say "Bad boy bumper" 3 times really fast?
Absoluta falta de cuidado.
your wife is major cute.
Where can I buy one.. and how much do they cost
I realize you're just using the family for demonstration purposes, in reality I'd expect a child restraint seat with safety harness and helmet. otherwise very cool trike.
COOLE FORM
can you go faster than a crawl?
Do you have plans which you can give me? Thanks.
Sorry,no. Thanks for interest.
It just looks really heavy for something that you have to pedal. I would be willing to bet it is over fifty pounds.
Nice
Sau teuer das gelbe bestimmt
Da ich etwas schlecht zu fuss bin währe das was für mich ....
There is 0 information about the vehicle -- just a video of someone driving it.
Great crumple zone!
+nosuch thingasshould only kidding I'm sure the kid in the front was a joke, as my comment was meant to be. I should have been clearer.
+nosuch thingasshould There are some problems with using a child as an air bag. Usually before the age of 4 they are too small, and by 9 or 10 they might be too big. So you have a fairly long term investment for only a 5 or 6 year use. This can be attenuated by adoption, however most agencies would not want to have their charges be used this way. On the plus side, younger kids can make great horns and older ones provide the power.
Don't be so hard on yourself nosuch, it was clearly funny.
Use your child as a bumper , why didn't I think of that . We all need the Dutch cycle ways. It would just not be realistic to put this on the road . Car drivers are not careful as it is .
Operation human shield
hi! where is it on sell?
parents.. are your kids giving you trouble , one really being a brat .. just use the new and improved handy dandy , might bumper kid product .. stick that little annoying sucker on the front as a bumper guard lol ! kid falls off front become instant road speed bump no extra charge .. order now , operators are standing by!!

What are you price
Велик замечательный! Только нельзя!!! ребенка использовать в качестве бампера...
Привет Сергей. Вот некоторая информация.
Существует возможность только для одного взрослого внутри Egg, но это, кажется, интересно разработать какую-то опции сиденья коленях ребенка. У меня уже есть дополнительный модифицированный задний стойку для минимума детского сиденья выше заднего колеса. Бампер из ребенка - это просто шутка.
В верхней части над U бар Egg можно накрыть прозрачной пластиковой крышкой, что возможно прикрепить в 1 минуту, и это складывает с U бар во время посадки и выключения.
Ширина 90 см, высота 145 см и длиной 210 см. Egg смешивают конструкция из стальных и алюминиевых труб и стекловолокна. Вес является ... 45кг, но будет снижена при использовании алюминия только и упрощение или исключение наклоняясь механизма. Она работает - но я хочу Egg стабильного прямой езду и интуитивный в поворотах ... это не так просто.
Переднее стекло из поликарбоната.
Спасибо за интерес.
Спасибо за ответ. Сам думаю о возможности транспортировки ребенка в веломобиле. Может быть, сбоку или сзади-сверху сиденья. Впереди водителя - опасно для ребенка и вообще.
Te vale más ir amdando
Where is the advantage over a normal bike?
Or don't you have any balance?
I just see extra wind resistance and weight.
Now if you lost the pedals, added batteries and an electric motor..........
Hi Koito.What a noise. You must be very frustrated. Sure, Egg will never do a DOUGHNUT...its not for your kind of people. You are blind. Enjoy F1 .
Egg Tricycle My eyes are wide open, but you seem to have missed my point. What is the benefit of your design? I only see down sides.
Harder to pedal due to more weight and wind resistance.
To quote you, "It's not for your kind of people". What kind of people is it for?
Koito rob
Hi Koito.Yours eyes are wide shut, and I am not here to explain you why. I dont want to change you or your point of view. Learn more and you will find upsides. Just dont rush-Harder to pedal= health for your lazy body, More weight=pedal hard,and it will balance your body fat you always carry with you,Wind resistance - aerodynamic benefits,Safety first-crash with EGG at 25km per hour and yours beloved F1 at 250 km per hour ,and you will see....may be not...think. Now something less philosophic - you stay dry in rain and carry more luggage if you need to, with electric assist it might be cheapest electromobile after yours F1 cars burn all the petrol in doughnuts.If you are worry about the speed-do you have experience from city traffic jams?
And dont rush...
Egg Tricycle If this is how you react to genuine criticism, then you have lost!
Why all the references to F1?
I haven't mentioned F1 ONCE!
Koito rob
Come on Koito. Dont take it personally. The mention about fat lazy bodies was directed on the state of health in civilization with reduced physical activities, not to you . Take it easy. Why references to F1-check your favorite videos. And about your genuine criticism- SAFETY FIRST- dont run over anyone!
おじちゃん、3人乗りは危ないよ
The kid that you don't like is used as a human bumper, LOL
molto belo solo che non riesco trovare prezzo
Hi Vasko Angelov . Thanks for interest. Just a concept trike. The price will be 2500 € non motorized when in production. Working on upgrade.
io non ho neanche trovato il sito.
Safety for whom? the children are certainly NOT safe! no helmets. no restraints, no side cover. This is a good idea for an adult, but Not with passengers in it's present format.
Hi lillicobarb.You are absolutely right! Honestly!
This is consept don't for Russia
most unsafe way to move your kid
Bad child rides on front as a human bumper! Sorry Jr. You should have done your chores!
Great idea. Dreadful music. I'd rather hear the kids.
