El Cristoff Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 i dunno how you would link both back wheels together, and the gearing system would be propper hard to fix on, i am not sure that it would work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikerbob Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 We sorta built one, we put a wheel in forks out to one side making like a side car type thing, it was very fun to cruise around on and you could take passengers.Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26inch Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Trikes suck, I sometimes try to cruise round on them at work, but: you cant lean when you go round corners which feels real wierd, try steering your bike by just turning bars and not leaning, most roads are off camber so your constantly leaning to one side. I'm scared to get them out of first gear. If after all this you still want one the ones we make have one driven rear wheel with a free one opposite it. The axle would be hard to make so get a pashley axle off them as a spare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopipe Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 erjust weld a fixed cog in the middle of the rear axle and run fixed gearing - or even a front freewheel. like they do on most trikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
