      BMI kart for the jackshaft plate and amazon for the shaft and sprocket. You are going to need spacers to space out the sprockets for alignment so get those as well.

    You can use a one-way clutch on the axle and attach the gear to it. That way, you bypass the wheel problem.

    I picked a a Miami Sun brand new for #200. Big guy lived on a big hill bought it, not knowing how hard trikes are to peddle. I peddle it for 6 years, then I put a Ebikling 1200 watt, 52 volt, 20 amp hour battery kit on it, because I am old. I have no idea how fast it can go, because 15 mph is scary. I've been to 20 mph running my dogs. I've had it electric 2 1/2 years and it still get 40 miles Plus on a full charge. And it is quiet. Can't even hear it. I can ride it farther than my old body will let me sit on it. Great granddaughter's pup and I can do twenty miles together. He can run! Wouldn't have an electric car, but I love that trike!

      Because these engines are half the price of an E motor. This build is less than $200, try doing that with and E kit. Also, these engines will last the lifetime of the bike. You'll burn out a couple hub motors to try to get the same performance of this gas engine.

      A hybrid option if anything would be best, front wheel with regenerative braking, you'd have a battery that can run electric start or headlights from the gas motor, you can have charging and ac adapters, you need a battery anyways so why not just make a hybrid trike, recycle the energy with a front motor

    You have zero ackerman angle and therefore parallel steering which is bad, the steering arms are parallel with the wheels and they need to be angled inward at an angle to the wheels and the steering wont fight itself while cornering, not your only problem but definitely a big one

      I'm thinking it's a sleeve or a bushing of some kind, I've never had something on the crank like that before. Is your trike an E-trike? E-bikes/trikes cranks are a little more sophisticated. If it's a bushing or sleeve, then it's most likely pressed on so you would need to press it off.

      With this project, I wanted to keep the rear basket. I know it's easier to mount the engine in the rear, but I wanted to Challange myself for this one. But now looking back on in, the engine in the back is the best way to go and if you mount it directly to the wheel, you'll have some room to mount a small basket. I'll probably attempt this again in the future with one of my BMX bikes.

    Great build Sir..Is it better to put the drive sprocket on the wheel or the axle Sir??

    • @rick14377
      @rick14377 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It would be simpler (most likely better) to mount it to the wheel. The axle on these trikes is too small, 15mm or 5/8. A lot of stress is put on that little axle to have the same results if you just mount it to the wheel directly. There's less stress on the wheel since it has a larger diameter than the axle and you don't need a jack shaft.
