I have stumbled onto this hobby just recently out of necessity. I have three torn ligaments in my knee and need a way of transportation around burning man and I came upon motorizing my recently purchased tricycle. I am not sure if it can be done but I am here to find out. Regardless the whole concept really appeals to me and I see future projects past my current regardless of the outcome. Either way hello everybody!

Howdy & welcome!!
Concerning Burning Man --- I'd highly suggest that you go the electric route with your trike. You can even recharge it with a solar charger. Those folks tend to frown on the loud fossil fuel burners while at the festival.
Good luck with your build!!

My first consideration was that but having been there years in the past electric concerns me with how a night can get away from you and suddenly you are dead in the water with no power. I may be speaking from ignorance concerning the electric route but at least with a gas route someone can go grab the gas can so I can fill up lol
