Welcome to Bike Forums, Raghav. Have you designed human powered vehicles before?

hi
sorry for not replying for so long. just had a busy week
no I have not built an HPV. This is going to be my first practical experience
we are planning to build a pivoting boom front wheel drive recumbent
I had read up on the net that there is a problem of wheel slip in FWD's
we calculated and realized that this should not be a problem on a level road
as I don't have any experience and am making this assumption out of theory
could you actually guide me about this from experience

Welcome to the Forums. :beer:

You might get better answers if you posted this question in Recumbents subforum. They have experience if anyone around here. I hope you contribute too and share any findings you came across in your project.
