[QUOTE="bamabikeguy, post: 55854, member: 1906"] [b]July update: GEBE 35cc WorkmanTrike vs. Staton35ccWMproject[/b] The Workman Cycles web pages take a bit of navigation, these are "built to specification tri and bicycles", take a few weeks for delivery. [url]http://worksmancycles.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/movers.html[/url] Other bicycle models are here: [url]http://worksmancycles.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/indbikes.html[/url] The one I worked with for "Gene" is a PAV-3. (3 speed). [img]http://www.motoredbikes.com/phpBB2/userpix/21_2007_0326tricycle0023_1.jpg[/img] Specifications Gene made were changing the wheels, to a 24 inch front and 2-26 inch rears. Standard tires were a heavy duty Kevlar type, the inner tube was alson industrial. However, he had a bit of overkill on the spokes, 12 gauge or .10 mm are more than enough, I'm thinking these were 10 g., requiring me to bore a little wider at the spoke ring notch, to get the ring snapped on. [img]http://www.motoredbikes.com/phpBB2/userpix/21_2007_0326tricycle0016_1.jpg[/img] Since I doubt I build many of these (unless he sells them to pizza delivery people or Hawaiin rental units like he is thinking about) I'll let the pix do the talking, take any questions you may have..... [img]http://www.motoredbikes.com/phpBB2/userpix/21_collage2_4.jpg[/img] Fancy flag. He put a handicap type setup on the rear of his van, said it got hit twice by passersby. Fortunately, never got hit with the bike aboard. [img]http://www.motoredbikes.com/phpBB2/userpix/21_collage3_5.jpg[/img] The Initial ride, trying to make "action shots" [img]http://www.motoredbikes.com/phpBB2/userpix/21_collage1_6.jpg[/img] Notes: 35 cc is the MINIMUM engine size I would use on a trike, but it had no trouble pulling the trike and Gene up the neighborhood hills. The front wheel has a parking brake setup, and the wheel/cable is simply switched around, from left to right, no special tools or consideration needed. The spoke ring, after snapping it on, barely touched the fork, so I wrapped that small area with tape, squeezed a slight crimp with my adjustable/lock wrench, it didn't take very much to get an acceptable clearance of 1/8 of an inch. DRY FIT everything, the torque strap required about 1/4 inch grinding down to fit under the motor rack, and we drilled a hole in the front fork reflector mount, turned out to be the very best arrangement. The ride was very comfortable due to the seat, but I don't see a trike setup like this hitting full speed, roads are too bumpy for that. 20 MPH is a breeze however, it was probably doing 25 on that hill in the collage, he claimed it was doing 30 on the downhill run. It spins out on grass. [color=darkred][b]All in all, Yes[/b][/color], a 300 pound person could deliver pizzas, a 250 pound person could pull a small trailer. 35cc is perfect for the application, and that seat is <[color=darkred][b]NICE[/b][/color]> And I don't think you would get away with calling it a [color=darkred]Hover-round [/color]and cruising the grocery aisles.
