just a NOOBS delta recumbent cargo trike build

Ibedayank · Nov 2, 2011

based on plans from Atomic Zombie Extreme Machines! - Bikes Trikes and Chopper Plans
using the 99cc HF predator 4stroke motor
rollin on 24inch tires on all three corners

take couple junk bikes
some steel tube

rear of frame done

rustycase · Nov 2, 2011

Yup, some classic freebie bikes yah got there.

Try much as I could, scrap bikes just don't have long enough tube sections to fab something longer... almost gotta buy some cm tube to get the job done. and it's pricey, and so is the freight! well, I'm a real cheapskate!

Good luck!

add forks and headtube from bmx with more steel tube 3/4 keyed axle shaft and pillow block bearings and you get this

Ibedayank · Nov 2, 2011

Rusty
Yeah the square tube cost me $75 but worth it would have been much more if I had ordered it due to a $140 shipping charge

That is one very solidly made chassis frame. What do you intend to use your trike for? Did you have a particular purpose in mind when you chose the Atomic Zombie design?

Ibedayank · Nov 3, 2011

daily transport
looked at many designs and few had the ability to haul a 25kg sack of dogfood home
the tadpole design just did not meet my needs

wheel flanges done
bottom bracket cleaned up ready for its bracket to be made and welded on

Intrepid Wheelwoman · Nov 3, 2011

Ah, - those are the flanges for the amazing Atomic Zombie tricycle axles. I've heard about those, - I will be very interested to see how these turn out.

Intrepid Wheelwoman · Nov 4, 2011

That is one seriously strong axle. Nice work.

Ibedayank · Nov 4, 2011

chainmaker · Nov 5, 2011

Where did you get the giant washers, I remember when I was looking at those plans I had difficulty finding the washers at a good price.

Ibedayank · Nov 5, 2011

Ibedayank · Nov 6, 2011
