Mechanical fabrication
The hand-built trike.
I wanted to build a machine I could actually drive. I started with steel tubing and a 250cc ATV engine, then built the frame, suspension and controls around two seats.
From tube to chassis
I measured the steering and suspension geometry by hand as I welded the chassis. The front wheels move independently. At the rear, a swingarm carries one wheel, driven by a chain from the engine.
Adapting the controls
The engine came with a motorcycle-style clutch and shift pattern. I adapted them into a foot clutch and a hand-operated sequential shifter so I could drive from a seated, three-pedal layout.
