ONDA Cycle puts riders in control of all three wheels
« Back to Article
With its rear swivel wheels locked, the ONDA Cycle steers just like any other three-wheeler, but offers the rider precision control for spins, drifting and tight turns when unlocked
Out front, there's a 3:1 gearing ratio and freewheel hub that's said to offer a top speed of about 20 mph, depending on the rider
The rider can control both back swivel wheels using the handle to the right
The forks, the main tube, the seat section, the rear wheel handle, the actual seat, and the rear wheel tube are all bent/crafted in-house
The custom leatherette seat between the back wheels sits about five inches off the ground for low center of gravity and stability
Releasing the wheel lock on the left gives the rider control of both back swivel wheels using the handle to the right
The ONDA Cycle can be steered using the handlebars, but the rear swivel wheels can also be unlocked and controlled for spins, drifting and tight, precision turns
ONDA's angular frame is made from powder-coated steel tubing for strength and durability
Article Summary
Three years ago, Joe Hadzicki of Revolution Enterprises and son Tyler (both from San Diego) started designing their perfect trike. Seven constantly-evolving designs and at least two prototypes later, and the ONDA Cycle is finally ready for launch. If you want to be dull and boring, this rather odd-looking, recumbent-like three-wheeler can be steered using the handlebars ... but if you really want to have some fun, the rear swivel wheels can be unlocked and controlled with a handle at the back for spins, drifting and tight, precision turns.
