Here's a pic of my 55 cc dirt bike I built in 2005.




This is my Charcoal powered trike....
I can't ride it....but a guy's gotta eat!



and finally......
I call this, "Siamese Schwinns"



I really enjoy this forum.

That's the same kit that my trike I found has. Except mine connects to the rear drive axle on the opposite side. The left not the right. I can't believe I missed this thread until now!!

I won't be using any of the original sprocket to attach the engine to in my concept. It's a little hard to visualize without a picture so I'll be sure to get one up in a thread. :? :?

Nice ride Davo!!

Davo, where did you get the sprockets for the rear end and are they the 415 chain or 420?
Great job
Doc

Change of tac

Please forgive me but your trike made me think of my mate Phil who turned up at my house about ten years ago. On his way over to my place he stoped at some lights on his Kwaka ZXR. An old guy pulled up the other side of the lights on an old Brit twin, and went over. Phil shot across the light to help him, but when he got there he was in fits of laughter, still with the bike on top of him. After he helped him up the chap explained. " I always wondered what this would be like to ride without the sidecar, I forgot to put my feet down". Tis the truth, you couldn't make it up.

Thanks guys.

Great story Pete. I'll hafta keep that in mind, as I want to put my feet down with the trike!

Doc, the rear sprockets...the 2 small ones are the standard trike sprockets. the large one is a kit sprocket. I attached it by drilling a 1 & 1/2" washer to match 3 holes on the sprocket.....then welded the washer to the hub & bolted the sprocket on.

chain size??? the 48cc kits I use come with a chain thats just a wee bit larger than a one-speed bicycle chain. the only comparison I've done was with a couple of Kings 80's in town and their chain was much wider. I do have 2 widths of front engine sprockets. the narrower one (which I use) will fit a bicycle chain.

With the birth of my trike,




came the demise of my BBQ bike





So, yesterday.......
