5000 Miles On A Schwinn Meridian E Trike
I have built 7 of these and have ridden over 5000 miles on them! What wears out the most often and what kind of long term repairs are required to put that many miles on one of these trikes?

    I'm planning to make myself a fiberglass folding camper, using extruded polystyrene foam to make the mold that I will wrap it entirely in fiberglass and resin. When the caravan is made, the extruded polystyrene foam will follow as thermal insulation. For the caravan, I am inspired by that of "Wide Path Camper", I will modify a few details, with storage arranged differently, at the front there will be a fiberglass trunk to make a camping kitchen, the tower will be flat to accommodate solar panels, it will be equipped with a charge regulator, two large batteries and a transformer, which will allow me to recharge the batteries of my All Terrain Wheelchair "Quadrix Watt's E3" and be autonomous in energy. I have two dogs who have had difficult pasts (juvenile alcoholism, underfed, beaten and abandoned), my third dog left us two years ago, she had suffered the most. They were entrusted to me so that they could avoid shelters and so that I could offer them a good life. Being their first Human Companion to take care of them, they like to help me by pulling my wheelchair and especially not wanting to lose me, they watch over me a lot, they have thus avoided three attacks. As soon as I get my ATW For my dogs, I am going to convert my cart into a dog cart. With them they will be able to help me by towing their things (bowls, kibble, outdoor mats, toys) and my ferret's kibble, each in turn (it will be easier than towing my wheelchair with my cart attached behind the chair rolling). I was also hoping for the folding caravan with two solar rear lights, two rear lights which detect by inertia when you brake and light up bright red to signal to those behind that you are braking like on cars, trucks, motorcycle, I would take two models that have a remote-controlled alarm function, which detect by inertia when the bike moves, which sounds an alarm.

    Thanks for the video. I just converted a similar Sun Trike with an Amazon 750W, 36V motor. But it makes a grinding noise under load. When I lift the wheel the noise goes away. Now the Company says they aren't suitable for a Tricycle. Only a bike. They didn't elaborate why. Is it maybe because a trike has more resistance? Is that why you use such a big motor and 52 volts on yours? This build is for someone that has no need to go fast so I thought 750 would be plenty.

    To make the whole thing stronger, I would double pipe it, where you put a smaller pipe inside of a larger pipe. Then for extra security and peace of mind, i would suggest bending over a piece of metal where you flattened the pcv pipes to put the wheels on so that the weight is supported by metal fittings instead of bearing down on the pvc itself, that way you should theoretically never have to worry about the pipes breaking at the wheel connection like what happened with your first build.

    • @DIYKauai
      @DIYKauai 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Several people have made that comment and it misses the point of this build. What you are suggesting is to build an internal frame of metal to transfer the load too. In the tropics, metal and wood are points of rapid failure. When I upgraded this design to 2" schedule 40 PVC and then fiberglass reinforced the main stress points it works fantastically and can regularly transport over 100 lbs. I even carried a 200 lb. person up a hill with it. The trailer has been used daily by homeless people for several years now without failing.
