ok i started with this i bought a whole trike from work striped the rear and sold the rest as a normal 2 wheeler

the drive and drum brake

then a scavenge a frame i liked out of my scrap pile the mocked it up to get a ruff look

then got a pressy from my boss in the form of a 144spoke 16inch rim springier front and matching guard

i then took it to work so i could get payed to play with it

and this is the reason i want to build it i'm fed up of pulling this around

after all that i changed my mined and didnt like it so i had my mate James at silenced choppers add some more rake for me


thats where i'm at now i'm not sure what bars i want or seat its got to be something low but hug my bum
Im also not sure if i want eletic or petrol but im leaning hard to eletric as that way i can clame its a mobility scooter and take it shopping

thanks jono
ps any and all suggestions welcome

Great start buddy... If you can make it up to my place i think i can convince you in about 30 seconds you will want an electric hehe... I also have a suggestion for a seat, Movement Systems in Burswood on Burswood road forget the number, i got a couple of seats from them nice and wide heap of padding i reckon para proof as you will get...originally off those mini choppers with the 110cc ICE motors i believe, i have one on my cruiser BUT it has been severley altered originally they are much thicker and wider...

p.s nice chair...really gott aget me a new one have a Quickie XT from ~2002 haha

and thank you kim for your old trike
on another note
ok got the seat on but pic are blurry but have a trial pic so it will have to do till tomorrow

this is the seat i ended up fitting but a little further back

and the mower seat i got for $2 but it sat to far back making the front to light. Or to hight as i wand a low cog

on another note i have a (embarrassment) frock motor hear is a 10ah 36v lithium iron to at least get it moving till i pay for my cyclone kit

HBWC, that cyclone kit is it the same company that has the electric bike that'll go 50 miles per hour or 50 mph= 81km/ph ?

I like what you've got going already with your trike build!

Peace Crazy Horse.
