Nice trike JFK,

start a new thread for your second engine thats going to be a awesome beast friction & chain...., most members actually enjoy reading threads that show BUILDS...... does the engine pull the front wheel to your left on that friction drive.

Thanks Vegaspaddy

Yeah the trike will pull to the left if you let the steering go, It's only a minor annoyance.
I just lean my palm against the grip I don't even notice it.

I could see someone getting the Staton dual motor gear box and put it up front that would eliminate the pulling.

The USX is terribly front light, I have read about peoples USX flipping backwards on steep hills so this weight on the front is a real help.

But the flip side to that is when I'm going up a steep hill the front drive tire tends to want to just slip on the road. That's is the main reason I decided to get the Staton USX rear drive so I could rely more on the rear on hills and the front on flats or both is I need more power.

I am loving this bike, I recommend it for anyone that wants a cheap heavy duty Delta trike.

They are fun to ride, my wifes version the AX is a crazy ride and i am about to change that from a friction to chain drive myself, cruises like a baby but its too dangerous to be flying like a madman, built for cruising......

The delta style is the chick magnet, you should see the looks i get when i pull up to the park with the little ones in tow !!!!!!! all i need now is the front fairing......
