I have bought several sets of plans under the old system and agree with stormbird. They are worth a read, you can mix and match some of the ideas. I first built the Warrior and now have moved to Delta styles. My main takeaway for the deltas is the steering geometry, using Brads calculations...

Ace there is a simple solution. Spend the $30, and then just upload the streetfox plan. It's not a bad price to pay in order to build your own trike.

I have 2 5" angle grinders from a local store called Princess Auto. Waited for a sale and have been using them now for a few years. One has a flap wheel and the other has a cut wheel. That saves a lot of time and labor. A friend of mine has a homemade velomobile in the tadpole style. He used...

It looks great, don't worry about any errors, if there are any don't hide. Just fix and modify as required.

2 views of the progress so far. Notice that looking at the side to the left the frame is squared while the right is tapered. Initially both side were square, but using the good old angle grinder the right side was cut in order to give it a taper for the eventual panel. I just finished doing the...

Paul the tubing frame is what holds the coro together so it can't be removed. And I found a plastic product at a hardware store made that can hold 2 sheets of coro together. One thing that always bothered me about using coroplast was sealing up the open sides to keep water out. I will use an...

Well it's that time of year for me again. No snow yet but all the leaves have fallen and the temp's are dipping into minus Celcius at night. I installed a Chinese diesel heater in my garage last winter so instead of running from 1500 to 3000 watt's of electric all winter one electric heater set...

Excellent video you. Sir have much skill in your builds.

Next incarnation of the trike coming soon. I read on another e bike site of the success a builder had incorporating a mid drive with a front hub. He did so on a cargo bike with the cargo box in front of the rider I think it's called a bakfeits type? Any way his claim is the front hub motor kicks...

This is the stem I used, my friend gave it to me with a set of worn bearings so it was removed and you can see one of the new bearings beside it.

The derailleur is the stock one that was on the child's bike. The benefit of using the rear triangle from the bike was aside from a slightly longer chain no modifications were needed to that part of the driveline. One great benefit of re-using my original jackshaft is no pulleys are used. The...

This started out as a LWB 2 wheeler. I decided it wasn't worth my time to learn how to ride it so I bought a childs 2 wheeler with 20 by 3" wheels and disc brakes both ends. The rear triangle and wheel is now the left rear driven wheel. A 20" front fork was converted to a rear triangle so the...

The new damper arrived and was installed. Note - it wasn't used due to wobbly steering but to slow the response when I was steering the trike. It was taken for a many test rides on my testing site, known as a back lane before venturing out around the local area on a combination of bike paths and...

I've been off camping in our trailer or "caravan" to you guys. I will take the measurements on my trike tomorrow.

One obvious point, a 2 wheeled bicycle has the ability to lean. So it doesn't want to follow the camber of the road. On a personal note my wife tried what I would call a "granny" trike in our back lane and it has a slight camber for run off. After 10 feet she felt very uncomfortable and refused...

The first picture shows the back and forth steering with a motorcycle steering damper installed. The second shows the outer end of the jackshaft. Originally I used a double chainring thru the bottom brkt with 1 chain to the derailleur and a shorter chain to the jackshaft. It did not work, the 2...

I just could not get the hang of riding it so in true DIY fashion it,s been repurposed. I'll give a short explanation and in a day or so post up a picture. So the frame from the front head tube to the rear rack was saved. The 26" wheels were removed, the rear suspension as well. I found a CCM...
