Anyone motorize a 3 wheel bike....
I notice brand new Schwinn 3 wheelers with a big happy basket in the rear, for under $200....I know I would look happy riding the thing, but technically it would be a hoot to put a suped up engine on the back....maybe 6.5 HP 4 stroke Honda.....or whatever....
Just curious if anyone has seen such a thing? Maybe there are photos out there.

Re: Anyone motorize a 3 wheel bike....
I have a Worksman PAV3 3CB. The fastest I could pedal was 14 mph according to police radar sign. This is fast enough for me on a trike. A trike is very easy to p over..

Ah not stable...could be a problem at 40 mph. It's kind of a sickness - every bike like thing I see now needs a motor.

I've got this pic. I have no ideal where I saw it, but I must have liked it because I saved it. It might be from Roland but not sure.
I do know Roland has conversion kit's to turn any two-wheel into 3-wheel's
