I recently completed the initial build of a similar contraption, a 9 foot long recumbent trike with lots of cargo capacity. Picture here: https://imgur.com/a/WrViRKD https://imgur.com/a/WrViRKD Shaky YouTube walkaround here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3SEndDnVXg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3SEndDnVXg I've been giving thought to how far I want to go with the electronics. LED lighting is a no brainer of course. I have red LED strips for the rear that will blink in patterns of my making. PWM will make it cool. But a Pi Zero W is just SO powerful as a bike computer- how far do I want to go with that? Wifi to a smart phone as a bike comuter display? Could work. Rear facing camera to check on traffic? Why not? Current gear and gear inches for three stage transmission? A smart phone largely surpasses what Steve had available to him and what was used on his bike, and miniaturization means no need for a trailer unless you want the real estate for solar. I don't know how far I'll go with mine. My main goal is to ride it and have fun. Maybe for the next build, I'll become a hardware developer and start writing code. Who knows? And being an Amateur Radio operator, there are many battery operated portable QRP rigs that would be a lot of fun to operate from a bike- if you stop and set up a quick antenna, which is no big deal. There are even mobile HF antennas available, but those present a major compromise, and QRP (less than 10w power) is already a compromise. So the real question to answer is: How geeky do I wanna be? I don't think I want to be as geeky as Steve was, but I also don't think I need to be. I don't expect to ride across the nation, just around the region ;)
