Looking for a shop to trike my 2013 S10. Too old, too crippled, and short legs, not to mention wife who is afraid of 2 wheels. Preferably near GA, but willing to travel/ship. Thanks in advance.
While I cannot help with a trike builder (google custom bikes or trike builders in you area, the US is awash with customizers), but nearly all trikes in Europe are shaft based trikes, they use an auto diff and shorten it or custom make one. So, very do-able. Sorry to disagree with Don. Have a look at this one on Ebay UK...Don in Lodi said:We've got a company familiar with the Tenere for side cars. I foresee difficulties trike-ing a shaft drive bike. The side car is essentially a bolt on kit, the trike is engineering and fabricating an entirely new back half of the bike. R&D would be a killer. You'd be money ahead tracking down a Wing or an HD that's already triked.
Oh, I've seen them, one of the Ford rear ends was pretty popular once. Weighs a figurative Ton tho. The Wing being a shafty, I've never seen the underpinnings for that kit, shortened automotive or fabricated? The creation of something new though. Some of the new independent rear suspensions are really light and compact. Even with unlimited funds, I'd still go with a hack I think. It's all about Style, don'tcha know.Dogdaze said:While I cannot help with a trike builder (google custom bikes or trike builders in you area, the US is awash with customizers), but nearly all trikes in Europe are shaft based trikes, they use an auto diff and shorten it or custom make one.
