ADY-2  joystick

This is a part which, although modified, was recovered by ADY.
The main feature of my recumbent is total control via a single "Joystick".
You steer by moving the handle sideways, pushing you brake with the two front discs, a lever is used for the rear disc brake and for the gear shift, the rotary control is used for the front derailleur.
Mirror, bell, light switch and horn button complete it.
For me, this solution was indispensable but if anyone is interested, below, there are details.

I do not assume responsibility about dimensions.

The steering is calculated in order to have different movements for the two wheels (the inner one has an inferior turn).
For the front brakes a balance device exists in order to share in equal way the brake force.
The movement in ahead is however minimal and there are two spring to bring back.
All the pivots are on self-lubricating spherical joints and the bearings are shielded.
