Thats actually pretty cool...
Yeah, I'm kind of digging the steampunk look. Not sure I'd drive it in public tho.
And for those a little younger...
^^^ Oh, shit. Now I gotta find me a big wheel trike!
I'm serious! I'ma build me one of them!

You will start a thread on this right?
Well yeah...
Might even post up a picture or three.
Don't hold your breath tho. LOT on my plate right now, plus I gotta find the trike.
Think it needs a solid axle to connect the two rear wheels. Other wise it will loose traction on the right hand turns. Maybe find a differential from a garden tractor or even a snow blower?
I'll keep that in mind.
Hi DE,
power the front wheel, eh?
Research MEGOLA for how a front wheel drive motorcycle was done back in the 1920s
IIRC, Megola had a rotary engine, meaning the cylinders rotate around the crankshaft. I bet you won't find one of those unless it came off an aeroplane.
No V8 needed. Heck, no "V" needed, a Boxer should do fine...
Since when does "need" factor into the choice of power for a project?No V8 needed. Heck, no "V" needed, a Boxer should do fine...
@kshansen if you need more power for your trike, then this may be what you're looking for...

1981 HMV Freeway
condition: good
fuel: gas
odometer: 7000
paint color: red
street legal
title status: missing
transmission: other
type: other
I have a 1981 Red HMV freeway for sale. I have owned it for about 10 years and it was a project I was always going to work on but do not have time to restore. Currently it is licensed in the state of mn and I can provide a proof of sale but no title. I went to the DMV and since the vehicle is from 1981 they do not issue titles for vehicles that old. Even though they won't issue a title, with a proof of sale I was able to get a license plate, insured and it is licensed in the state of MN. I will provide a proof of sale to the new owner.
Currently the vehicle is NOT running and is a project car with a 16HP Tecumseh engine, and is in good shape. I started replacing all the wiring but haven't been able to dedicate my time to get it running. My loss your gain, this is a great example of a microcar and will be a great project car.
That thing oughta fly!
Speaking of mad inventors!
I want to see the YouTube video !
