Reverse Trike By mikey34 (Read 288 times)

Has anyone ever tried to build a custom reverse trike on here?

I have been looking into possibly building an R1 600cc Reverse Trike. Probably a BMW318 F/T END, or Mazda Miata, Toyota MR2, Any of the small compact REAR WHEEL DRIVE cars.

I am thinking about doing something similar to a Viper 250cc Scooter first, as to practice on a smaller scale.
If anyone has ever tried, or know someone that has tried to build one of these, LET ME KNOW!

VIPER 250cc(NOT QUITE ENOUGH POWER!)

I tried to build one from a chevette and a honda 750 back in the mid 80's ......never could get it to track right though.

It would be a good ideas to check a canam to see how they handle caster and camber. Do a search for
"moonbeam" a fellow built it out of 2 150 elite honda scooters in Maine or New Hampshire. He actually made more of a 3 wheel car. Am not sure a car front end would have enough adjustments for caster/camber as I am thinking that would have to be more or less a progressive/non linear action which is why some of the chinese clones have trouble tracking. And of course the wheel on inside of turn has to turn on a different radius as the outside wheel.
