| description | A recumbent cycle with improved steering and drive assemblies is provided. The recumbent cycle is of the tricycle type having two rear wheels spaced-apart and rotatably supported on an axle and a single front wheel. A frame assembly, including a seat disposed in a recumbent position and fixed to a tubular frame, is pivotally attached to the axle, and includes a forward mount for rotatably supporting the front wheel. A pedal/crank drive is included for rotating the front wheel and, therefore, propel the cycle. A steering assembly is also provided for pivoting and tilting the frame assembly with respect to the rear axle. The frame and the seat tilt into the turn as the frame is pivoted relative to the rear axle. The front wheel being carried on the frame assembly, pivots along with the frame assembly to effectively point the front wheel in the intended direction of travel, and therefore steer the cycle. |
