My parents have a schwinn trike (brand new) they'd like me to motorize. it's already got a gear with some 415 chain in the back, maybe I can fab up a mount and slap a china girl on it!
Ken,
You will now now styling with the best of them. I know what it costs to build the trikes that KC sells and believe me there is no huge profit margin left after all the parts, trike and battery are bought.
You'll be ahead of the game with a bike that is built by a well established builder for not a lot more than the parts would cost you and you don't have work at putting it together.
A smooth move on your part. I'm sure you will let us know how well it rides when the time comes.
Congrats KenX I know ill be looking forward to seeing some pics of the new ride......
And as it has been said just let negative stuff roll off best you can, sometimes people dont actually plan to offend with what they type on here, it just comes across that way at times, I been on both sides of that road myself, cut and dry comments seem abrasive sometime when they aren't meant to be.
Good luck with the new trike and always keep the rubber side down.
Year or two down the road for me, but I want to motorize a trike. Although, I've been thinking along different lines. And I've been getting inspiration from the sight of cyclecars I used to covet when I was younger. (Just a few photos of such inspiration shown below.) It will only be built as fast as the money for it rolls in, but I will not rest on this.
