first short test ride babybolt

Took the new trike out round the block.
Verdict. Pretty good. Some brake steer. and it shifts in a corner on the larger cogs.
Didn't even bother to check the front wheel alignment but I will next time.
Seat position is too reclined for me so I will put it more upright.

The small 305 front wheels seem to roll well enough.

Babybolt seat cover on

Finished stitching on the purple ribbon on the seat mesh. Single stitch only but I'll double it later on the front side.
The fabric comes from an old trampoline. It stretches a tiny bit. Since the trike is very low I probably going to put a piece of chain tube on the power side just under the seat. With my weight there's a risk I sit on the chain and damage the seat cover.
