I've seen a few of these cargo conversion kits. Sadly the kit can cost more than an ebike.

Of course if you can weld you could build a setup like the one in the video for a fraction of the cost of one of those kits.
My thread 2014, https://motoredbikes.com/threads/tilting-tadpole-trike-mod-kit.43234/ and now I evolved to the recent type
To lock the sub-frame to the bike frame is better than a horse cart steering mode
Do you prefer a sports car chassis or a horse cart type?

The video I showed has a leaning suspension system on it. Notice it has suspension forks not standard forks. The big difference is a welder could build it for less than $200. On your earlier build suspension forks could've given a much smoother ride to your design.
Before you building a reverse trike, you should get some chassis knowledge first
What is scrub radius?
In this picture, the scrub is 1/2 wheel span, you have to exert much force to hold the handle bar in uneven roads
And more- -what advantages a dual A arms trike than a dual forks trike
The scrub is 28mm now in my 3 G type
Is the scrub=0 better? not exactly!

Unless you're planning on going around sharp curves at 50+ mph, a high amount of tilt isn't necessary. Most here on this forum who want a trike is because they can't ride a bike. Speed isn't their main concern. What is important to them is not spending a large sum of money. Which is why we suggest affordable solutions.
Of course now I see this takes you to the electric forum. Where money is less of an issue like it is in the gas section.
