Has anybody built one of these before?

Just a little 6.5hp (212cc) motor from harbor freight, axle and sprocket kit with a centrifugal clutch and some wheels on either a full custom frame or a bicycle frame cut up and put on a frame.

Twist throttle set up with a simple front cantilever brake set up.

 

If anybody else has built one, post em up!

 

$500 or so.

Posted on facebook I was looking for 20" bmx bikes, next day at work I had 4 of them!

Picked a bike and started cutting.

 

On this first one, we're going to used the main tube (bottom tube) and down to the part that the pedals went through. The top tube and upright support will probably be cut off. The pedal tube piece will be welded to a notched tube piece and that will be welded to the bottom frame for the motor and axle and seat.

 

Tried to order axle, bearings, clutch,sprocket and wheels yesterday but that didn't go as planned. Maybe in a couple weeks when I get back from vacation.

Well,...last night the drift trike earned it's new nickname..."mustang".

 

It plowed thru s crowd of people and hit my new dodge...

 

Bent the frame and front forks on the trike and smashed the twist throttle.

Put a dent in my truck bumper

Took out a girls ankles

And sliced the rider's finger open. He had to get 4 stitches.
