Bike Cycle Recumbent

I have low income and back problems. I am making a recumbent bike. what is the easiest way to set up wheels?

I tried CAD' ing on the pc the use of ordinery rear wheels bolted on a threaded shaft with one side driven by the drive chain but that will cause steering problems when I power on. As I say I am strapped for cash and miss cycling but must have three wheels and seats (Back problems) for me and my wife (tandem). any home made ideas very welcome!

I agree, it is VERY difficult to come up with a home made 'diff'. Stripping something off a lightweight quad - well it'll be as heavy as the rest of the machine!!

Most, if not all commercial trikes drive only ONE rear wheel.

You COULD set up a duel drive going to two separate freewheel systems, but would mean a fair bit of extra chain, brackets & cogs! ie. a mid-section to split the primary drive, then a sturdy secondary section to split & extend the drive out to the derallier / freehubs at the wheels.

Could be fun to build!! It'd certainly be unique.
