well i decided i want to motorize a trike mainly for cargo space and because of how easy it will be to make a drivetrain for it with a briggs.
so i can't find any cheap trikes so i thought why not make one, i mean use a regular bike and just weld up a frame so it will have a platform. any ideas on how wide, i was thinking somewhere around 3' wide i want it to be fairly stable and i don't have any experiece with trikes.
for the axel i want 2 wheel drive so it doesn't pull to one side when exelerating, but then i need a diff, i was thinking take apart a lawnmower transaxel and use the diff but i will have to see what the thing looks like maybe it won't even work.
also want to use the five speed hub heres a drawing of what i was thinking, yes i know no pedals but i live in iowa and am going to register as moped
