Trikes
WOW I little to nothing about that the more I read about it the more I realize what I know is closer to nothing than little also the trike I had planned to use has a step through design and not right for the HT I am sure I can get all I need to convert a bike from CYCLES U S if I knew what all was needed to do it looks like a lot more study for me
Building a trike was a big (huge) learning curve for me. Took almost 6 months of trial and error to get it "good enough" to ride. Other people make trikes you can buy & ride. I didn't like the looks of those. I can't ride some grandma trike, it's gotta look cool.
Don't give up on it. Just think about what you want and do it. if it dont work this way do it that way if ya know what I mean. All anyone can do is give you a few ideas. In the end you have to build it your way, You're the one thats gonna ride it. BUT, If you have any questions at all I'll do my best to answer them. If you have to step back from it for a minute to think about it or rethink a design, Cool. I did that 2 or 3 times before I finished mine. I'm no genius, I built a trike with a 39 1/2 I.Q.
, So if I can do it anyone can. Anything worth doing takes time.
You can use a step through frame with the HT engine. you just have to mount the tank elswhere,(No biggie.) I've seen tanks mounted on handle bars, Rear racks and under seats. As long as it's above the HT carb for the gravity feed of fuel.
Also, If you might want to build a "cheap to build" recumbent trike, I have one you might want to check out. It hits close to 30mph with a 49cc go-ped engine. I call her Tri-Baby. It had a 33cc on it. upgraded to 49cc and it made a big difference. From 22mph to almost 30mph. You can check it out in my album. It's all bolt together except the rear sprocket setup. It's a real kick to ride. I put her together with mostly left over parts in my garage. The only hard part was coming up with the main frame. Everything else is trailer wheels, goped parts and bicycle parts.
Whatever way you decide to go I'll be here for any questions.
