This can't be legal... A sail on a recumbent!!!

[steveindenmark]

Thats very nice. Is it a commercial " mast" or did you make it?

Making a small sail is easy enough. Its the mounting that is the problem.

Trouble with the Whike is the low bridges/ overhanging trees and other stuff we have around ...

I'd still love to try one, though !

I am sure you could organise routes where you could get wharp speed

But they are not cheap.

Power always gives way to sail

Not generally except as a tie-breaker? Everyone gives way to the most constrained vessel first AIUI.

The mast isn't that high... it's 1.6m in length and it's anchored about 20cm above the ground. So you're looking at 180cm or so in total height - about 6'. That's me standing up. I manage to avoid low bridges and overhanging trees....

How? I have to keep ducking!

I know that path mrjay. You're lucky the hillbillies from Deliverance don't come for you along that stretch.

Hey, @Pikey! Spooky! We were just talking about this the other day. Gonna give it a go?

Lol! That is a coincidence!!!
I bloody needed it on the way back from that audax.

After our conversation about it I was thinking like one of those kite surfing kites could be a cheaper option.

I am the UK representative for Whike. Been enjoying your conversation! Any questions?

Also who is this Kevin DTEK? I was wondering where he got some of our Trikes from !

 

[mjr]

He runs a famous HPV shop in Little Thetford http://stores.ebay.co.uk/D-TEK-HPVS

 

[Andrew1971]

I believe het got second hand or unspoiled . And got from the Netherlands I think.

 

[nauest]

Most likely one of our second hand trikes, I know a few of our customers in the Uk have updated to the later Whike 2.
