First test ride of homemade long wheelbase recumbent bike

First test ride of my third homemade recumbent bike. This is my first long wheelbase, the geometry is based on the Tour Easy. It is made from old bike parts and new steel tube brazed together, the rear triangle is from a suspended mountain bike. It has 20" front wheel and a 26" rear wheel with a 250W hub motor which has not been wired up yet. Lots still to finish, it is currently held together with cable ties and the seat back is tied into position with some webbing straps. I haven't ridden a recumbent in a few years but this is the easiest one to ride yet, after a little push to get started the first time I was back into it. I haven't fallen off yet but I am sure it won't be too long!
