The Terrible Trike |
||
The Terrible Trike started life as an Electra Cruiser. I added a Dream Bikes tricycle kit from Brazil. This kit includes the rear axle assembly which features a unique double freewheel based differential to drive both wheels, hollow hubs, a 7 speed freewheel, and mechanical disc brakes. I built 24 inch rear wheels for the rear axle. |

I had to drill out the rear drop out to raise the attachment point and move it backwards by about 2 inches. This was necessary to get the chain to clear the chainstay. I also added BMX riser handlebars and a 26 inch front wheel with EBikeKits motor hub and controller set up for throttle-only operation. |

I cut down a black plastic milk crate for the rear basket and strapped the battery beneath it. The rear plate shows unicorns farting rainbows. |
