Build your own Trike? Danish style with Alu frame.

Seems interesting for us that don't weld things together.
The only reason I don't have one is lack of space.
I live in very small apartment with no garage.
So I need small folders instead and have maybe 5 of these
Danish design studio N55, in collaboration with German designer Till Wolfer, has created a series of open-source human-powered vehicle designs that can be built at home using basic tools and materials.
Dubbed XYZ Spaceframe Vehicles, the models incorporate weather-resistant and lightweight frames that are made using standard aluminum tubes.
Those tubes are assembled together using simple stainless steel bolts, washers and nuts.
“Unlike the singular load-bearing tube seen in traditional bike structures, the main structure is an orthogonal spaceframe of standard aluminum tubes,” says N55.

That is cool! I was actually thinking of buying a trike but may I will try and build it. Best of all the plans are FREE! Here's a link to the plans and details: https://www.n55.dk/manuals/spaceframe...evehicles.html
