So is that a kit of some kind or did you swap out to an automotive rear end?

That's pretty cool bro, I remember following your build thread a while back. You did a nice job!

Purple Power!

That turned out great. Good work.

I too am curious for details on rear end. What is the power and gearing like?

How much does it weigh?

very nice job, you should be in her good books for awhile now!

Sad that it doesn't have a reverse gear.

Or does it? I do remember following your build thread a while back, but I can't remember if you talked about reverse or not.

trike build

No kit, done everything myself. straight axle rear end. And yes it does have reverse. And the power and rear end gear ratio is very close to what it was with 2 wheels. don't have the paperwork in front of me but between the rear end gears and tire size I am real close to the stock ratio. Power don't know yet have to call dot to get it inspected before I can put it on the road. I use to build and race stockcars, so I used a bert 358 modified flywheel which bolted up real nice to the rearend flange then to drive shaft, then used a 03 subaru boxer engine starter. Built a bracket and put it the rearend mounted the starter facing the front of the trike and put in a relay and a button switch on the handle bar and we have reverse. And its about 4 to 5 miles ahour in speed going backwards.

That would be so cool getting on and backing out before you turn on the engine. Everyone would be like What is that sound? They would think you had an electric motor until you started the beast! Very nice job on this ride.

trike build

My wife said she was going to do that just to see the reactions on peoples faces. She also thinks that I am awsome for thinking of her so she wouldn't have to push the trike at all.

[DiverRay]

I LIKE the build! Great job, and I love the engineering that went into it. She should have YEARS of fun with the bike!

trike build

Ok now she wants me to find another bike to build into a trike for myself.
