Trike conversion kit with a rear differential and Disc Brakes

[slickdude]

Found this online... Disc brakes, Hollow Hub mounting wheels, 7 speed plus a differential which cuts down tipping on the back substantially. They seem to be sold out right now, but I am sure there are other finds for this elsewhere. Allows you to install on 20, 24 and 26 inch bike frames for trike conversion.

Cheap trike split differential

I came across this video by a guy who really knows his stuff when it comes to science and engineering about using freewheels to make a trike split differential setup that’s easy and cheap to make. Hope this helps someone out. So check it out and tell me what y’all think 😁...

Too good to pass up. Near new condition Schwinn Meridian. Have decided to go with a 350 watt 36volt system front hub and disc brake adapter. I need to check the back of it and see if Schwinn has ditched the old "D" shaped driver axle, if not, they a hollow hub wheel back end will have to be acquired. On this one, going to probably go solid wheel at least up front if not the back too. This trike won't be that fast. Kit says maxes out at around 35KMH or 21mph. On a trike that's fast enough. To turn on it, you really need to be going less than 8mph anyhow, plus this will mainly be used for shopping.

Extra basket for the front handle bar to increase the carrying capacity. With anything at or less than 500 watts you also don't really need a torque bar, so that's just another reason to go this route.

For now the seat seems good. Where I am going to invest in this will be a larger AH battery for longer riding distances. Such as a 9 mile ride to the local Costco for shopping for example. That's round trip about 18 miles. Remember also that a trike weighs more than a two wheeler so the increased amp hours will be required for anything like that. Luckily there will be a pas system installed too which should extend the range with minimal pedaling.

Anyhow, this near new Meridian was $150.00 and it's very clean. Was at the right place at the right time, thanks Paul.
