Project Background
The Eagle Cycling Innovations (E.C.I.) team consists of a group of five ambitious undergraduate seniors majoring in Mechanical Engineering Technology from the University of North Texas. The project acts as our exit class for the degree.
The project is a 3-wheeled recumbent trike with a tadpole configuration. The trike will be using recycled bike components while buying frame materials from local shops. The intent is to demonstrate that anyone can build a recumbent trike on a small budget, support the local community, and have a lower carbon footprint. Hover over "Project" to learn about our budget.
E.C.I. will compete in the upcoming Human Powered Vehicle Challenge (HPVC) hosted by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). The Human Powered Vehicle Challenge is a three day event lasting from April 11th- 13th. It will be in Orlando, Florida hosted by the University of Central Florida.
