*It all began, according to Igor, the pictures on the Internet, which has chronicled the car with a barrel. «I recollected my oak barrel, at his cousin in the garden, in which I, even wine did twenty years ago. Two days with the grinding machine, and so, with family hoops»
Originally it was planned to make motorcycle on electric go. «In a barrel, which is the „engine of motor“ were replaced with wooden sidewalls of the millimeter steel, for possibilities of opening the lid. All steel elements were playing laser», describes the work of Igor. On a single charge tricycle rides 30 km.
«I attain maximum vintage appeal, and that the machine looked like I inherited from his grandfather's legacy. Often am asked what year is this machine? Nice!» writes the owner of a steampunk trike.

That is so steampunk. I absolutely love it, and would love to ride it.

Its just UPLIFTING to see someone build such a cool ride.. thats just inspiring..I wonder how long that took to drag up the parts & figure out how to connect them to each other & make it look so good.. Id buy that dude a beer or 6..just to sit & visit with him,

I wouldn't call it steam punk, I would call it H.G. Wells as in "The Time Machine".

It's fantastic to see such unique work! I've only been aware of the "steampunk" movement for a year or so and it always amazes me the time.effort and pure artistic talent in this type of work.

That thing is just flat out cool!

I still really dig it, but, after looking at it with a more critical eye, Im gonna say the ergonomics arent that great & the Savage seat is probably as good, if not better & Ill bet that he wishes he had pulled a coupla leaves outta those springs..

Post by Serowbot on 11/08/13 at 22:25:31

That is a lot of spring..(if it's functional)... and I'd prefer midsets for foot placement (more steampunk looking, too)...
... and that dude needs some brown leathers and goggles.. ;D...
