Cool car. How long did it take you to build also about how much money. I want to build my own car. Do you need high tech tools and such. Or can I build it from my own tools. Thanks
@intoxicologist I build everything my self using 2024 aircraft aluminium for the spindle with timken bearings pressed on, a piece of tube 3/8 in. thick wall machined to fit outer race of bearings, and used the same wheel off the bike's disc brakes wheel pattern to bolt on the wheel to the spindle using 6 in, cap screws.....hope this helped a little.
@lightrose100 thanks for the reply. i figured you had to have made them yourself. very good job. i was hoping to do something similar. if you get a chance a video with the front wheel off to show your handiwork would be brilliant.
@lightrose100 huahuahahaha had to laugh don't be so mean at least let her drive once in a lifetime.. lol.. might be real fun toy.. looks preatty light for that engine I guess it flyes on wheels right.. :)
@jomarcavalcanti gee, I wish she could drive, I'll build one for her, anyway, I got this trike up to 95 m.p.h for about 30 seconds, it was steady no jerks or floating feeling, coz my steering link is attached to a post that steers or swings my lower A arms and it rides on it as it leans, A arms has a double joint, 1 for steering the other for suspensions, so I have to use a leaf spring suspension u bolted on the A arm
Please send me you plans or pics and tips to build one too I promise I will not build it like yours I will make mods to make it my own too. I love your design. I can see so many variation of it in my head.. I want to make a 2 seater..
ayos na ayos ang pagkagawa nyo. ang galing yo, what an achievement. hindi pangkaraniwang tao lang nakakagawa nyan. salamat nga po pala sa pag share nyo kanina ng story nyo about the bike, it was interesting and fun. good luck po with everything. --- excel
haha! galing nyo nmn! idol! may bumibili ng design nyo? dapat meron eh mas maganda p ung sainu kea sa t-rex,. mas secured pa sa theft and rain.. plano ko din magpauso ng mga trikes d2 sa pinas kaso less information bout motor engineering.. anu kea ang least na displacement na pwedeng tumakbo ng atleast 100kph pag naconvert na sa trike? tnx in advance sa sagot.. again astig ang pinoy! hehe
@cutieogie astig si pacman lang! ang makina depende kung mag1 or 2 seater ka at least 200 c.c. and up,tilting is a bit complicated, auto parts para sa suspension kung meron pwede na, pero shocks ng rear motorcycle ang gamitin mo, you may have to use 2 per side kc mahina ang spring ng motorcycle,taga saan ka ?
@cutieogie taga antipolo..kau taga san d2? plano kong gawin trike ung kymco xciting 500 .. un ang nakikita kong pwedeng pang hiway na available d2 sa pinas eh.. or baka meron pa n d ko pa alam hehehe
Looks Awesome!! What did you use for the front hubs, spindles, a-arms, ball joints, tie rods, rack-pinion, shocks?? I need to finish my build, FZ750... I'm trying to research what works best... so any info would be appreciated.. thanks!!
phenomenal design and everything, this trike is so inspiring, i actually have an extra '82 1100 sitting in my fathers back yard with no front end... previous owner cut it out to make a trike, so ive been wanting to make a reverse trike... if at all possible and if you want, could i get as much information about this as you can/ want to give me... i dont want to copy the design specifically, but its soo perfect i want to use it as a base point for my own
@Snake22789 Not a problem , I can send you pictures of the frame set up to give you some idea where to start .make sure the frame you attach to your bike frame is mounted on rubber bushings to lessen the engine noise transmitted on the body, I used shock absorber bushings. Main thing is the Vin # on the bike frame not tampered or you'll have problem registering,
I FOUND YOU!!! thanks so much for helping with the solar car!

That doesn't lean. The wheels stay perfectly upright.

awesome, it's a bit of a combination between the carver and the T-rex. But way better looking
