I am looking for a recumbent bicycle manufacturing facility to assist me in designing and building a simple recumbent bicycle designed for children. Design features should include: rear derailleur with 5 or 6 gears (no front derailleur required), hand brakes, adjustability so that bike can 'grow' with rider (by moving seat up and back or extending main tube of frame). Bicycle needs to have safety features such as mounted flag. Must be visually appealing to children and teens by using bright colors and or other effects (decals, plastic 'wings' that attach to rear of frame for a 'rocket' effect). Bicycle can be either above seat steering handlebars OR below seat handlebars. Primary target market is older children. Need to keep cost of manufacturing low to be able to compete with other modestly priced 'conventional ' diamond frame bikes. Will be seeking patent for this bicycle. Open to cooperative business relationship with manufacturer. Need to see some sketches of proposed design and get estimate of cost to build a prototype. Prefer to use currently existing parts for as much of the bike as possible in order to minimize initial costs. Want to use lower cost parts but not sacrifice safety (ie. need good welding and strength of design, etc.).Please respond via if seriously interested and able to work on such a project. This bike must be able to comply with all U.S. bicycle safety standards. Thank you,Dr. Krakow
