team cripple trike

[HBWC]

ok i started with this i bought a whole trike from work striped the rear and sold the rest as a normal 2 wheeler

the drive and drum brake

then a scavenge a frame i liked out of my scrap pile the mocked it up to get a ruff look

then got a pressy from my boss in the form of a 144spoke 16inch rim springier front and matching guard

 

[HBWC]

i then took it to work so i could get payed to play with it

and this is the reason i want to build it i'm fed up of pulling this around

after all that i changed my mined and didnt like it so i had my mate James at silenced choppers add some more rake for me

thats where i'm at now i'm not sure what bars i want or seat its got to be something low but hug my bum
Im also not sure if i want eletic or petrol but im leaning hard to eletric as that way i can clame its a mobility scooter and take it shopping

thanks jono
ps any and all suggestions welcome

That's a thing of beauty. If you have the $, and range is not an issue, for sure go electric.

 

[HBWC]

thanks pablo money is always tight but i'm very resourceful because of it
anything can be done with time

Great start buddy... If you can make it up to my place i think i can convince you in about 30 seconds you will want an electric hehe... I also have a suggestion for a seat, Movement Systems in Burswood on Burswood road forget the number, i got a couple of seats from them nice and wide heap of padding i reckon para proof as you will get...originally off those mini choppers with the 110cc ICE motors i believe, i have one on my cruiser BUT it has been severley altered originally they are much thicker and wider...

p.s nice chair...really gott aget me a new one have a Quickie XT from ~2002 haha

 

[HBWC]

thanks kim yer will ring and organise tomorrow had to go up to pal and panther 3 times today

[KiM]

No worries buddy if i dont answer keep ringing i will be working inthe workshop if the compressor/die grinder/angle grinder are in use i cant hear phone...Either way i have no plans to go out other to local bakery for a chicken and salad roll (5-10minutes MAX) haha...

[HBWC]

and thank you kim for your old trike
on another note
ok got the seat on but pic are blurry but have a trial pic so it will have to do till tomorrow

this is the seat i ended up fitting but a little further back

and the mower seat i got for $2 but it sat to far back making the front to light. Or to hight as i wand a low cog

on another note i have a (embarrassment) frock motor hear is a 10ah 36v lithium iron to at least get it moving till i pay for my cyclone kit

 

[Crazy Horse]

HBWC, that cyclone kit is it the same company that has the electric bike that'll go 50 miles per hour or 50 mph= 81km/ph ?

I like what you've got going already with your trike build!

Peace Crazy Horse.

 

[HBWC]

thank you Crazy Horse yer i think your right their thats my goal with this is to be able to beat the china girl motors i deal with and have similar range on one charge

ps
you know your user name is a famous strip club in Adelaide South Australia
