toy-mota Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Couple of the boys and i are getting into drift trikes again,first time round the trikes were crap,but this time abit more effort is going into them first one was knocked up over the Easter weekend and works well,32mm galv pipe frame with massey fergerson seat,20 inch bmx front.sack barrow wheels with drainage pipe pvc wheels. this is the start of mine,the frame is 4mm sheet with 30mm holes punched every 75mm centers.it has 50x3mm flat wrapped round it turning it into 50mm I-beam,hopefully should be strong.it will have a solid rear axle with disc brake,gokart seat and 20 inch bike front.thinking about just leaving it bare metal with clear coat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toy-mota Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 the test hill gets us up to 50kph and has a nice sweeping right corner video of me getting towed back up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toy-mota Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 finally finished my trike,turns out 50mm I-beam likes to flex alot,so i put some 30mm angle underneath fully welded which stiffened it right up and making it look badass.rear brake works better than i had thought and makes the trike tail happy.turned up some hubs which i welded to the 25mm shaft for the gokart rims,running front wets om rear rims which means i have the stretched tyre look.its abit heavy but i like it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
