Spelling Bee

Class Action For low cost and ease of construction, Class Action made extensive use of wood. [Left and above.]

Of course, there is a down side to this. Class Action was not particularly durable and of moderate weight.
Rhino front
Rhino wheel These pictures [plus the four below] are of the White Rhino. The frame is articulated. 450lbs with decorations but no pilots. Outstanding for a 4 person KSR.

The two pictures to the left are of the wheels. The 'rim' is two corrugations of a plastic sewer pipe [unused, they claim]. Riveted to the outside circumference is retread rubber.
Rhino steering mechanism
Rhino drive mechanism Rhino front drive mechanism Rhino front drive mechanism

The trike below is not a KSR since it is only a road machine. But it shows inventiveness. I like how compact it is. Notice that there are two seats. Unfortunately it is locked to another bike, making the pictures hard to understand.
