Mow Cycle: Pedal-powered riding mower
Desh | Mar 13 2010

The miniature tractor shown in the above image is a riding mower named Mow Cycle that has spinning blades underneath it. New Hampshire bicycle-builder Ted Wojcik and his son Cody, a mechanical engineer, created this fully pedal-powered, heavyweight recumbent tricycle to gratify one of their clients who wanted to upgrade an old mountain bike. Completed last August, the duo displayed the Mow Cycle in February this year, at the North American Handmade Bicycle Show in Richmond, Virginia.

Waiting for some aides to come up with the necessary finances, Ted and Cody will go into the production soon. However, before that, Wojcik plans to arm the future models with a fixed gear rear hub for backward movement. Currently, the trike features an internally geared five-speed rear hub with a coaster brake.
