After putting the larger engine on the frankenbuggy I had the original smaller engine lying around the garage. Engines lying around the garage unused makes me start thinking of new projects. I eventually came up with a lean trike design.
The engine and torq-a-verter drive a live axle for the two wheels in back. The front wheel is connected directly to the seat. One hand has a twist grip throttle from a motorcycle and the other controls a disc break.The entire seat is hinged to the back section and to steer the rider leans his whole body into the turn. The end result is a pretty bizarre riding experience. The first time Maria saw me ride it she instantly decided that it belonged in a parade...maybe if she drives.
Here is a video of the trike in action http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIqeUj5oxoo&feature=youtu.be
