Dont know if you guys have checked these out,but after riding one I knew I had to have one.Long story short the build has already started and I cant sleep until its done.There are no instructions so this will be a 100% custom build,but thankfully I live near by Houston so parts "SHOULD" be easy to aquire.


Here is the video that did it for me



The look Im going for when its completed




Tubes cut and ready to burn in






All welded up and ready for paint






Fresh out of the paintbooth after throwing on some primer (My garage )

Cool project man. I told my wife I wanted one after watching the episode of Count's customs where each of the crew members build one and then race.

Why the single back bone? I'm sure it will work but I don't know how well it will hold up long term, Hopefully nobody riding it hits anything and tweaks it.
I know someone why makes them when his shops not busy and they do look like fun but in my case there aren't many places to ride one.

Honestly if I was to do it all over again I would just got buy a Huffy slider and just add motor.

Before you pull the trigger on that one I'd watch a few videos on trikes with front pegs.Going that fast and pulling your feet off the pegs so the tire doesnt burn your leg sucks.Then forgetting to pull your off leg and getting burned sucks even more.On the ones where your feet rest on the pegs.You never have to move your feet when you get slideways.On mine the front tire is independent from the foot pegs.Just my 2 pennies tho cause im sure which ever one you pick I sure you'll be having fun.

Going to put some sort of chain guard on it? I'd hate to be on there if the chain ever let go without one.
