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.

This project looks like a blast! I love how you combined the classic Schwinn trike with a new motor. It must be amazing to ride!

Surly to GOD, you aren't expecting @kundalini2169 to answer you???? With all the current threads, why do you keep responding to people who haven't been on the forum for years???? You keep doing this even after I've told you how to check and see when the last time they were on the forum.

The older threads should be used for research or first try contacting a member in the thread who is still active on the forum. If a member hasn't been on the forum for a long time then try sending them a Private Message. You can do this by clicking onto their profile. This way you aren't reactivating a dead thread.
