@MrSlowGhost thats why America has led the way in high technology,freedom should never be taken for granted.people are fighting and dieing for it all over the world.

[MrSlowGhost]

@inagod So thats true mate. Im kinda jelaous..cause where i live you cant build anything without getting pulled over and crap

[SuperNagetti]

what song from metallica this is

[Pro7o7ypes]

@SuperNagetti Originally from Queen I believe, Stone Cold Crazy.

[mariomonster147]

ur gokart suck look at mine

[Pro7o7ypes]

Look at the third video where the trike is already finished and licensed. FinalPHYES341, then you can see the bodywork.

[JalmarEst]

try to build it a cool bodykit and you get freeking awesome trike

[alleyesonme0]

that looks like it came from a factory with no body just a frame and interior

[KayakMike1963]

Excellent... kinda post-apocalyptic Mad-Maxian fun with a killer sound track. I'll be interested in seeing the final vehicle.

[Pro7o7ypes]

@KayakMike1963 Hey dude look at my next video and you will see the final product.

PHYES 341

[AzimUhamid]

i love the sliding door :)

[mr1000rx]

does it come in red?

[DeamonLord44]

I'm wondering where you got the zx10r engine because I am wanting to start a project something similar to this.Just not sure on where to get a good engine with all of the electrical gear and such. If you can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated

[giorgos584]

nice trike !! try to make one whith 2 seats...the one behind the other...!! and wear a t-ahirt :D

[their27]

HEY!! u should make a video on how it all went down. for example, how did u mount the shifter? make the cage 'door' lockable/ safe...etc... i'd like to make my own gr8 ideas!!

[their27]

thing like this make me happy but at the same time pissed at the government for making it illegal to make your quad street legal, it's bullshit!!!

anyways two thumbs up for showing the gov. we can make it safe! post a vid when ur done

[Landotter1]

May I ask.... What kind of steel tube did you make it from? Love the aircraft style "cockpit" you made... very slick!!!

[iamwesome1000]

how do you get it to be street legal? thanks. nice job!

[lepardgecko120]

he probaraly got the motor from an atv or trike thats how he has reverse or he could just be using a starter motor as the reverse

[SlimBeaver1]

how did you get your reverse gear

[ChrisLuxembourg]

Dude, you rock my casba!!!! Good ideas with the "pneumatic roof" Excellent work!!!

[SCRTpilot]

This is my fav reverse trike so far.

Well done, a true Mad Max vehicle.

(does it have reverse?)

[calholli]

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!!

[ragonamuffin]

Love it. I am making a tilting chassis reverse trike, but how in the world are you getting this registered, and as what? Motorcycle?

[Humanityisthedisease]

@ragonamuffin no way, i had the same idea. lol

[Pro7o7ypes]

CHECK THE UPDATES at PHYES.NET

[tomcatfranks]

That is BladeRunner-Bad-ass!!!

[ResidentElmo3]

that is sick!

[zelibober]

I want one to!!! Sent me the blueprint please if you can?

[wmralder]

It definitely sounds like you've done your homework. I'm glad to hear it. Too many people get into this stuff without thinking it all the way through. I surely wouldn't want to see anyone get hurt so I hope you're enjoying your hard work - you deserve it.

[Pro7o7ypes]

Thanks, I finally finished it two weeks ago, I'm now trying to get the license plates, and will post the new video with the plates, bodywork and everything while driving on the streets with an inside and outside video shots.

Thanks again, have a good weekend.

[redghost105]

@Pro7o7ypes dam that thing is so badass

most awesome trike ive ever seen

how long did it take you to build it and how much did it cost?

[wmralder]

Looks very good. I do have one concern though, The problem with 3-wheelers is that they're unstable if you don't get the centre of gravity right. I'm a bit worried that you might have too much weight too far back. The fixes might be to move all accessories forward. If you decide to design a follow up I'd suggest a wider track with the front axle line back at least a foot. Beyond that it look like a great build.

[Pro7o7ypes]

Took me almost a year to design it, Every concern I had already been addressed, I used Autocad and Inventors on this project. Center of Gravity withing the gravity triangle even at high speeds. 4" from the ground, that's why the gas tank (8 gallons) , Optima battery, electronics, heater and the seat had been pushed forward, also that's why I used a rack and pinion with the push rods in the front instead of the back, etc etc etc. You can't move the front axle back anymore unless you are 4 ft tall

[gmarz13]

ha ha gotta have the visor 0:38

[Pro7o7ypes]

If you have seen the other videos will realize is a TV, DVD, mp3, etc player hooked up to a 4 speaker surround system plus a 9" subwoofer. The AMP is only 250W but for only one person is plenty. The trike is finally painted and the video will come up here in two weeks, thanks for your comment.

[gmarz13]

@Pro7o7ypes thats sick good work

[zelibober]

@Pro7o7ypes 2 months past and still no video of your trike. Cmon man, show it to us already. Its look awesome right now and i can't wait to see it in plastics.

[Pro7o7ypes]

@zelibober Sorry dude, the pics are being posted right now on my website phyes.net will have at least one by tomorrow since I'm still working on the website and moving to a different house but you will see how does it look like without the fenders for now, but it is licensed and insured.

Thanks for the patience...

[zelibober]

@Pro7o7ypes Looks awesome man. Share some info, where did you get turbo kit for liter motor? I use to order them for my friends from China but they move somewhere and i lost contact with them. And the rear wheel, cuz i'd like to change my rear fork to, to make that bad ass look but have no idea where to get that wheel.

[Pro7o7ypes]

@zelibober I'm sorry, I built mine, the flanges and piping and i bought the intercooler and the t28 turbo separately. The rear wheel is an upgrade for a Harley Davidson widening kit, so it's not cheap.

[zelibober]

@Pro7o7ypes don't you think that T28 is to big for 1L motor. Isn't it the same turbo that fit Subaru Impreza and Evos? How does it feels when you drive it, kicks in usually on high RPM?

[travom]

I'm def. diggin' this RT! keep the fire burning!

post some new vids of your latest progress

[metromfg]

Very nice Trike Jorge, could you tell me what kind of transmission,and does it have reverse?and if so could you tell me what kind starting this weekend

Thanks

Metromfg.

[69stargate]

Impressive Jorge. Very impressive. Its as if you have some type of background in engineering.

[wiatroda]

Very nice,roof is cool, I build my RT and hope it'll be half good like your :)

[Munchkin1128]

nice craftsmanship ..... how much you charge me to build a rolling chassis?

[Pro7o7ypes]

To build the chassis all TIG welded without the suspension all Cromolly 4130, no sliding canopy, including the swing arm with no bearings... $5500.

[redspade04]

thats exactly what i want to build. what was the rough ammount spent on it. i dont want to really spend over 10k

[iamkaven]

man that is sick dude good job eh

[haugstule]

that`s pretty nice!!!! but, windshield.... come-on..... and the sliding top-glass! i wold keep the frame open and wear goggles..... but that`s only my opinion.... can you answer me; why all the glass? and; are you gonna cover all with panels?

[premiumbeans]

nice!!! I want to build my own reverse trike. so many ideas for reverse trikes. someday.....

[oscarlovespatty]

good job! looks nicer than the t rex or raptors whatever they're called.

[Pro7o7ypes]

thanks dude! right now I'm trying to get the license plates, soon I'll post another video, hope you guys like it.

[Pro7o7ypes]

If the weather is better than the last three days I'll take it for a spin and to test handling, lights and a couple features I had to modify. If not, have to wait until the following one since I have a long weekend to work in it (4 days vacation). Wooohooooo!!!

[Pro7o7ypes]

Sorry ...accidentally I erased someone's comment, if you ave any questions just post them, I'm back in school so mondays and weds I can reply all messages from school.

Thanks to everybody.

[panamic855]

nice when can we hear what it sounds like. iwant to hear that turbo

[Pro7o7ypes]

the first time the blow off valve actuated I thought I blew the engine up!! It was soooo loud I stopped the trike to look for broken parts, my heart was pounding until I realized what it was. Maybe this coming weekend will post another video.

Thanks for your comments and the interest.

[speedsk8r010]

Hey im 14 and im really getting into cars, and ive always been a fan of building things for myself.. even computers

Anyway, i was just wondering where you can go to learn how to weld and/or build a car.

Thanks :]

Btw, looks kickaass, you going to leave it open air or build a body over it?

[Pro7o7ypes]

I'm doing upholstery on the dash right now but... yes, I will build a body out of fiberglass.

[Pro7o7ypes]

Horsepower without dyno I'm guessing 220 to 250HP Top speed I would like to know, I have only gone in 3rd (6 gears total) 115 MPH, sorry there are no long roads in my neighborhood.

More videos coming soon...

Thanks for your comment.

[kawana87]

Very cool! Cant wait to see some videos of it on the road. Any estimates on power/top speed?
