Has anyone ever successfully converted a recumbent bicycle or tricycle to hand-powered? How? What are the major obstacles to overcome?

I'm sure it's been done, by homebuilders. You might see if you can find a homebuilt bike site for more info. – Daniel R Hicks Feb 13 at 0:20
forum.atomiczombie.com would be a good place to find recumbent home builders. Hase's handbikes look essentially like factory conversions of their trikes, maybe they would offer advice - hasebikes.com/89-1-Handbikes.html – armb Feb 13 at 12:46
