Classic Schwinn Trike/IMortor Build

[kundalini2169]

I took a 1969 Town and Country rear, and a Schwinn frame with perfect paint and made this beautiful trike. Having no experience with front-wheel drive electric motors I installed this converted Imotor setup on the front tire and it ran great briefly until the front fork busted and the tire flew off while I was going 20 mph needless to say it was the end of the trike.

Nice looking bike. Did the fork break at the top of the leg or did the wheel rip out of the axle mount? If the axle ripped out of the axle mount you need one of these. It stops the axle from rotating in it's mount if it becomes loose.
