This is my first motorized project done in the late 90's. It has a small Briggs washing machine motor with kick start on a Worksman trike. I calculated that I'd need a 14" pulley on the rear axle but could only find a 10" which geared it to high. I would have to to pedal as fast as I could and then engage the belt tensioner and then it would maintain speed pretty well. It is kinda scary to ride around corners because it sits up pretty high. I have since robbed the front wheel with brake for one of my two wheeled projects but installed a brakeless wheel to keep it going.
