  • In this video I will be demonstrating how I built the frame for my homemade DIY electric drift trike! I have decided that I am going to make this build into a series because this project is a lot of work and its not something that I can quickly put together for you guys. Also, I apologize for this video being long overdue. A package containing a lot of these parts got lost during shipment and it ended up taking 6 weeks to get to me. So thank you guys for being patient!
    Parts:
    20" 48V 1500W Front Hub Motor Wheel (wider rim):

    The whole point of a drift trike is the rear wheels turn not the front, this is like drifting a fwd car... still cool as a normal trike though

    • @austiwawa
      @austiwawa  6 лет назад +3

      Yes, you are right. It should be a lot of fun though! I am using a live axle so that I can experiment with other motors on the back in the future.

    • @jonnyrox116
      @jonnyrox116 6 лет назад +5

      I've built both and the front wheel drive gives you more control of the drift and gets up to speed much faster. I would suggest a rear brake though. I mounted bicycle disc brakes to the hubs and used hub extensions to set the wheels farther out.

    • @aurelhollowgram

      yes the front motor is better!!! but really better. ans electric too. the bigs drift trikes like in usa, are poor idéa, to put all the masses on the rear, and the rear weel are the weels motorized with a 4 stroke engine, is a poor idéa... (ok in usa 1/3 of the population are so big, is possible is the problem lol) and after he put a big front weel because the masses is on the back.. (rrr!!!)

  • @jon_raymond
    @jon_raymond 6 лет назад +15

    Can I suggest flipping those pillowblocks over on the rear axle. This will lower your center of gravity. It will be less prone to flipping. Right now it's way too high IMO unless your going for an off road drift trike.

    After watching your video Converting a Car Alternator into a Go Kart Motor I decided to make a motor out of an alternator which I am doing. I have some questions about the build though. I will be using it as a motor for other uses. I want to fix an on/off switch, a kill switch, and an external regulator so I can adjust the speed. First have been successful in that project when not "redlining" the alternator rpm speeds?

      stylac Ya this configuration seem to be common. This is avavilbe in a commercially available drift trike. ruclips.net/video/_IJwjctqVEE/видео.html

    • @evil_me
      @evil_me 6 лет назад +5

      Jon Vannatto, technically that makes it a "slide trike" as drifting is defined by a rear drive and using wheel speed to break traction and control the drift angle. Either way its neat and looks fun, but being front driven it'll pull you through and kind of defeats the skill associated with real drifting.

    • @jonvannatto
      @jonvannatto 6 лет назад +1

      Evil Me Good point. I'm suprised with the rotating rear axle layout he has as it seems like he could just pull parts from the electric gocart and make it a proper drift trike.

    • @austiwawa
      @austiwawa  6 лет назад +3

      Yes, but I am using a live axle so I can experiment with other motors in the future.

      austiwawa, an all wheel drive drift trike with independent front and rear throttling would be massively epic!

    That rim brakes is going to be interesting. Too bad the motor and fork do not have disc brake mounts. And a not sure a rear brake would work with PVC sleeves on.

    I built one of these about 3 and half years ago. The front drive works fine and is an easy way to get a fast trike up and running. All the guys complaining that it isn't a "real" drift trike are obviously forgetting that these things started as pedal-powered and front wheel drive. All the RWD ones end up doing is spinning in circles which seems pretty boring to me. Definitely recommend rear brakes as the front one on its own was definitely not enough for mine (although it's obviously not much use when you're running the pvc).

    Thats pretty cool! I just finished modifying a Zero DS bike (that I originally bought for the parts) and am converting a stretched Ruckus to EV with 18650 Lipos as well. Anywho, I stumbled upon a way to get unused/like new, top quality, brand name 18650 LiPo LiFe LiMN etc. for a penny on the dollar! I'm sure its legal but they might have not been following their official channels so shoot me an email ( LeviMail @ the largest email provider ever. lol) and I'd be glad to help you find the same kinda place in what ever city your in! I have TUBS FULL of brand new name brand Lithium cells/packs and I only took the ones that were never touched and were still fully charged. lol. for $100 I ended up with thousands of 18650 cells.

And people won't come back or subscribe if they think you're only putting out a couple videos a year.
