Axlow
A low, comfortable recumbent trike concept built around practical fabrication, side steering, front crank drive, and a locally manufacturable tubular frame.
Axlow V1
Recumbent first. Cargo later.
The first Axlow prototype focuses on the core riding experience: a tadpole layout with two front wheels, one rear driven wheel, a reclined seat, side steering handles, long chain routing, and dual front braking.

Built For
Campuses & Resorts
A distinctive short-distance mobility platform for controlled, scenic, low-speed environments.
Future Assist
A platform that can later support electric assist, internal gearing, and lighter frame variants.
Research Direction
Features we are designing toward.
Axlow V1 is being shaped around proven recumbent trike principles and practical manufacturing choices, with the first prototype focused on comfort, stability, serviceability, and a clear upgrade path.
Tadpole stability
Two steering wheels up front create a planted, confidence-building layout for braking and cornering.
Reclined comfort
A supported low-seat posture reduces wrist, neck, and saddle pressure compared with a conventional bicycle.
Adjustable fit
The concept uses an adjustable front boom and seat mounting plan to support different rider heights.
Serviceable drivetrain
Prototype 0 uses bought-out bicycle drivetrain parts first, keeping testing, repair, and sourcing practical.
Front disc braking
Dual front mechanical disc brakes are planned for strong, controllable stopping during early ride tests.
Future assist-ready
The platform leaves room for electric assist, internal gearing, lighter frames, and touring variants later.
