Anyone motorize a recumbent tadpole trike?

SteveTroyer,

I love your setup. How loud is that motor behind your head? That seems to be a concern for me and the main reason I have hesitated going with this kind of setup.

It is a little noisey but I have put on the muffler a tube to direct the noise and exhaust to the rear. It does a good job of doing so and makes it quite a bit quieter. I also wear ear plugs when I ride.

Here are some more photos of the final painted Streetfox with the Golden Eagle 32 cc bike engine.

Good work. Looks comfy.
