clown bike is almost complete. It has a 300 watt friction drive engine with 2 lawn batteries for power.
There are only two minor things to do yet. I have to find a 20" CRANK SET and change the tire on the trailer. I have another of those multicolored tires I want to put on the trailer.
By the way the axle and nuts for the trailer were about four bucks. I had the battery box so it was just junk before. The wheels for the trailer are both front wheels from junk bikes I picked up.
The five dollar bikes have donated lots of parts so were a good deal. The tongue on the trailer is a piece of tubing from a fertilizer spreader I bought for the wheels.
I tested the bike it pulls the trailer perfectly I think. It goes up the steepest hill i found without pedal power but it is very slow.
This is the prefect bike to get just a little exercise and to really enjoy the enviornment you are in. I think I'm going to slip it on the bike trail tomorrow. It is quiet enough that I'll have to put a bell on it before I take it out for a ride on the bike trail.
