drift trike build
This is my first build!
I had the idea to build a trike for 2 years so I started to earn money and accumulate pieces to start the fabrication.
This moment finally arrived! And I have a humanities class in college on the the art of motorcycle so i will use the trike as my final project :)
My father showed me how to weld, the condition were not the best due to the snow but it worked.
To save money i used steel from an old 3-seated swing and one of my old bike.
The engine is a 6.5 hp clone engine that will put power to the wheels via a centrifugal clutch,
the front wheel is a bmx wheel and the rear ones are 13-inche trailor wheels.
figuring out the shape
starting to weld the frame
still working on the frame
the first part of the frame is mostly done
the fist look with the front part
the front part is now fix to the back
the big job is done
the frame fabication is now done
the next things that need to be done are hubs to fix the wheels on the shaft and a hub for the rear sproket
I hope you like the build if you have any questions you can ask

It looks like Mad Max for toddlers…..
that front wheel aint gonna do you much if you dont get a tyre on it tho :p
this reminds me of when i ws little and me and some frieds made a chainsaw powered cart, it had rope steering and everything . good times
It ain’t beautiful but I’m sure you’ll have an absolute blast once it’s finished!
Drift trikes are jokes I wanna build one for summer
