The poboy chopper becomes the po boy hybrid 4wheeler.



the attachment isn't level in this shot but it will be tomorrow. It started to rain on me so I couldn't finish squaring it today. I have a better basket as well. When I get it complete I'll make another shot.

This is the trailer I had talked about building. I know i also need to paint that one wheel lol

If i were going to rebuild this and I just might. I would have used an angled elbow on the outside front corner to make it more aerodynamic looking. I would also make it easier to push off.

Something new there. I bought an end cap for the 3/4" pvc drilled a hole dead center bolted the end cap onto the axle, then I just glued it up. Now I find I didn't get the joints straight but I have a trick for that. cut the twisted pipe and slip a 3/4 wooden dowel inside and put a couple of wood screws to hold it in place. When it stops raining I'g gonna do that.

As usual I did it now I need six joints to do it right lol. Tomorrow I'll take my gas bike up and get them while the wife is at church. But it does seem to do the trick I tried it again even out of square it pulls nice. I can also put it on the gasoline bike when I'm done to carry even more things. That little bike is going to be a mule when I'm finished.

Why that's no kit... It's a scooter motor, with a home made friction wheel, and two lawn tractor batteries go into the home made trailer. Top speed on the flat is about 15 miles per hour. Uphill I have to pedal so it is for exercise not running errands. I have a pretty good set of hills in the neighborhood so I can ride about three miles and get a pretty good workout. I couldn't make up those hills without the assist. I don't work up much of a sweat but I do get a little exercise with it.

How does come apart if you have a flat tire? Also how do "unhitch" it? Could you show a closeup if it attached to the axle? Thanks.
