I don't have very good balance so don't know if this style of lowracer is right for me.

Anyone have problems with vehicle drivers not seeing you when you're riding a bike so low to the ground? I guess having a disc brake is a must?
Here is an option for you. http://www.cruzbike.com/

And here is one more. http://www.recycledrecumbent.com/ I would go with the TE clone, easy to build, easy to ride. This fellow also sells frames, forks, and seats. Check out is Mach 2 as an alternative to a lowracer.
Good Luck
