Where can i find a trike kit?

Look at the Warrior and the StreetFox tadpole trikes, and the DeltaWolf delta trike info. All three are recumbents, and all three have excellent handling characteristics. The DeltaWolf especially, for a delta trike, is very well designed to avoid cornering issues, which it achieves with a VERY low CoG.

I wish i knew how to weld.. I'd be rollin around on the most rad trike ever!

I got the spooky tooth trike kit, and built a Tandem Beach Cruzer Trike. It's got a 68cc Skyhawk, it has a 9ft drive chain. It drives and runs great! Check out the pics I posted. The guy I built it for loves it and his wife can go with him. I'm building a little truck bed for it so they can picnic or whatever. Far as I know, I'm the only one to do this set-up. I'm really happy with the way the build turned out. I really like riding it. And yes, it gets a LOT of looks at the beach in San Clemente and Capo beach! The 9ft drive chain was a challenge, but no biggy.

There was a post on another site saying Spookytooth was Closed indefinitely and for sale. Asmfar as Ive seen Spooky was the only one that sold the extra drive hub you need .

Norm, so rad! Now if someone else would just come along and start selling tje kit like spooky had I'd be good to go.

Chainmaker, total bummer about spookytooth.
it must be a hard business to stay competitive in when the majority
of your customer base are coming from a diy mindset.

It's a real drag if spookytooth is gone. But when I dealt with them, you could tell there was way too much smokin and not enough workin if ya know what I mean. They had the goods though. Their hubs are great and they did a really good job fabing stuff up for me. Good work with a good price. I hope they come back.

I'm just glad I got the last of the parts I ordered. I hope they come back, they have helped me out quite a bit over the last couple months. Here are a couple pics of the trike I have been working on. Got it on the road, just need to finish the box and a few final touches, I'm pleased so far, runs great, real solid, just gotto slow before the turns.:helmet:

I'm burning with jealousy.. Or perhaps it's the clap...
no no.. I can feel it, it's definately jealousy! Killer steed, dude!

Trikes

Find a friend who welds and do most of the grinding etc yourself. That way your friend has very little to do and will stay a friend. The people who have said see atomic zombie are right I am building a TriCruiser which was easy to modify for a motor by lengthening the distance between the seat and the pivot. This is a really easy and quick build and simple engine mount. If you decide to go this route I will help you out.

The best peddle trike plan I've seen is the Jet Trike (plans are free on line). It leans into turns etc allowing phenomenal speed. I just cannot figure out how to mount an engine onto it.
