Thanks for the picture...
Racie, if I were a better mechanic I might understand more of what you're up to, but I'm not so will wait to see it come together.

Is this photo of Racie's build? So often motorized trike conversions seem on the wimpy side... meant for pedaling and a motor as a kind of after thought. Nice to see you are doing something different and out of the box, designing a true motor trike. Judging from your other work this will be something special!

I didn't design it...I'm copying it....its a simplex servi cycle truck...I just took a few more pics...I'll get em on

Looks like the drive axel is one solid axel is that right? With a CVT in the center? ..Thanks.......Curt

Yes...and you can put a clutch at each end for differential., a centrifical

Yes...and you can put a clutch at each end for differential., a centrifical

that makes it all clear to me now...i figured one wheel would be more power than the other and the dead wheel would just eventually catch up...

Nice knowing you've got stout wheels under you with decent brakes.
