for months I want to show my progress on this vehicle. a rare trike... :P
the first thing I have to say, I suffer a disability in my left hand I can't drive a normal bike and also due to a problem in my left knee, I can't ride.
for me the solution is a tricycle to prevent falls and to avoid further damage my hand.
ah, sorry for my bad English, I know write very badly... je, je...
for about three months, I'm learning to build my own electric tricycle. in other forums I learned to build and in this forum, thanks to you, I learned to convert it electric.
these photos are the work I have done today and has been developing since late august in my little free time...

at this moment I'm waiting to receive the front wheels... a pair of 20" BMX wheels with disk brake.

all I'm doing is temporary. I intend to make a kind of prototype to improve gradually in the future

for the drive wheel I chose a 26" Magic Pie with external controller.
currently there are many things unfinished and not final as the seat, steering or the rear suspension, I know I can make it better.
I hope you enjoy my first electric trike and I encourage you to try it.
when I received the wheels and finishing the trike will promise to put more pictures.
thanks for your time and happy new year! ;)

Happy New year to you too. When I scrolled down to the first picture I thought you were taking the P;ss

Looks like a properly made project, I can't wait to see further developments

Hi albertlc
Your english is great what are you talking about!? Wow that's looking really good + strong!
I am most interested in your steering design, and can't wait to see more updates on this.
Nice work
-
Albertic! Must say I´m most impressed by your work, good luck with the progress of the trikemaking, hoping for more info on this project!

thanks for the replies, guys! ;D
is a pleasure to read your messages.
tomorrow I get the front wheels and when get some time I'll continue with the adventure
un saludo!! ;)

well, finally I can put a video of my creation. je, je ... is a bit ugly but I'm very satisfied with it ;D
the only problem is it has a little extra weight and I have to make some modifications.
I will also change the seat and relocate the batteries that I want to change the batteries LSA by other lithium batteries.
is very fast and stable but I have to take off weight.

after searching a lot one day I found this seat in a dumpster ::) ;D
is comfortable, yes but very heavy and I think I'll finally put a kart seat or similar.
