Design of a highly experimental recumbent tricycle, not software at all.

Subframe and four bar linkage

Status

Still at a very preliminary, pre-prototype stage. Work is documented here.

The current model is built with OpenSCAD; to render the model, open model/tricycle.scad.

Dependencies

The following libraries are used into this model. They should be downloaded and installed into your OpenSCAD library directory, which on Linux systems is usually $HOME/.local/share/OpenSCAD/libraries.
