Motorized Reverse Tricycle Build | Fixing the steering and taking it for a test ride.

So I finally get to ride it. The anticipation was real, it's been like 5 months when I started this build. In my defense, I was going through some things in that amount of time. Anyways, its a roller!!

In this video, I make a custom exhaust. It sounds good for a cheap muffler, and less restrictive than the original. I also finish painting the trike and take it out for a ride.

    Why in the world would you mount the motor in that spot? Dumb location, first off, and you wasted so much time and resources fabricating parts. Not sure why you didn't mount it in the basket like a normal person and avoid fabrication and welding.

    • @rick14377
      @rick14377 2 месяца назад

      Well Mr. Tayler, I already explained why I mounted the engine in that spot. I didn't want to lose the rear basket and I already built a trike with the motor in the back. The whole purpose of this build was to keep the basket. You can try and mount it in the front but with that size of engine, the steering will be heavy. Also, I don't consider fabricating parts that are crucial to the build a "waste of time" especially when it was a success.

    I have a 100 cc 4 stroke motor kit for a regular bicycle , I’m trying to put on my Schwinn meridian tricycle . I didn’t mount the motor but sized it up and it looked like the drive chain to the sprocket would barely clear the frame , any suggestions because your motor is where mine will go

    • @rick14377
      @rick14377 6 месяцев назад

      3 things: You can use tensioners or idler sprockets to avoid having the chain rub on the frame. You could also use a jack shaft, that will help with alignment. It will also allow you to mount the sprockets where you need them. If you are going to mount the engine in the center like I did in this build, I would highly recommend the jack shaft. I believe you can buy a bolt on jack shaft so that way you don't have to weld it on. I think the Schwinn meridian is an aluminum frame so welding might not be an option. Lastly, if the driven sprocket on the axle doesn't fit in-between the frame, you may have to use a smaller axle sprocket. If you do this, just increase the driven sprocket on the jack shaft.

    • @rick14377
      @rick14377 5 месяцев назад

      @@WinstonMyers-il5dl I got the Jack shaft from OMBwarehouse. They have complete jack shaft kits, and I got the 12'' shaft kit. I tend to get larger shafts because I can always cut them to size. They come with 2 sprockets, a 17t 40 chain and a 13t 40 chain. However, since the sprocket on my clutch is 35 chain, I didn't use the 17t sprocket. Instead, I used a 36t 35 chain sprocket. You can use any size sprocket and chain, just as long as the sprocket bore is the same diameter as the shaft.

    • @rick14377
      @rick14377 5 месяцев назад

      @@WinstonMyers-il5dl You can cut the jack shaft with some power tools like a chop saw, band saw, portable band saw, or angle grinder. If you don't have power tools, you can use a hack saw. that will take a while to cut through and it may not be a straight cut. the jack shaft I used didn't have threads on either end, through you can use a jack shaft with threaded ends. If you have to cut a jack shaft with threaded ends, you can use a lock collar on the side you cut. I recommend welding the lock collar to the shaft, but if you don't have a welder, the set screws will be good enough. Just make sure you torque the set screws down and use lock tight.

      So, you have two options, you either buy a hub from amazon which is $50, or you make the hub yourself. I made my own hub with a 5/8'' spacer and welded it to the drum brake. You can also use lock collars but keep in mind, the axle is 15mm in diameter and the spacer or lock collars are 5/8''. So, try your best to center it up on the drum brake. I also made my own jackshaft to help align the sprocket on the engine and the axle. I do have a video on this, I think its part 4 or 5 were I do this. You can also check out my newer video where I build another one of these trikes. Part 4 is what you're looking for.

With few hills around here I'm considering a 79cc but I like your selection and will wait and see what you experience... ;-) Use some washers and longer bolts to install the chain guard might be a good idea to keep your pant legs clean a free from getting caught...
