Anyone ever see one like this? It's actually registered as a car.

How to turn a tempo into a rear wheel drive.......seems like a lot of work for not much.

Not everyone can afford fancy trike for $50,000 up here..takes a lot of talent to make that,AND get it to pass our Provincial Inspections.. I know, I do those out of province and salvage inspections.
I built a trike for my wife in 97 from a $200 Honda CX-500 and a Hyundia Rear diff, Princess Auto fenders,we put 5000 kms on it and sold to freind in 2002 and he out another 15 on it.and he sold it to someone else whos hopefully still rding it.My dad taught me to Weld Good!

Should be on the top 10 list for things you see @ a Walmart...lol

 

[Junior Highmark]

This is an.. Interesting.. to say the least thread.

Must have taken alot of work to do some of these..

That things has got to push right thru turns if you're not careful.
Should've used a k-car

We had one built from a Tracker come up for a meet in 2008.It took him hours at the border to get it across.It was registered as a trike in New York state but the canadian customs wasn't sure what it was and told the owner that it was improperly registered LOL,but finally let him in.I will get a picture of it and post it here.

Another thing that has me puzzled is if that is registered as a car then he would have to abide by the mandantory seat belt laws.No way I would tie myself to one.

This is the one I was talking about in the other post

You guys should go to a BTW Rally sometime,
BTW Brothers of the Third Wheel
theres all kinds of homemade trikes there, with the laws changed in canada regarding homemade trikes, there wont be many new ones made,
we cant even go to the US and bring back a Gold Wing with a factory made Trike Kit,Some Politician - Treehugger found out about a accident involving a home made Trike that was built in some ones garage and had them all Banned .
think this was why Lehman Trikes moved to the US.
I installed a side car instead last yr, didnt like that,sold it, might buy a trike kit now for next big bike.

wwwtriwingindustries

only trike kit built in canada .and cheapest of ALL trike kits made today.

I am a member of The Brother's Of The Third Wheel and have been for quite some time.We have about 70 members in Ontario.

You can still build them here but insurance is high.About 2000 a year now.

Should have left the windshield on so it looks like someone's riding your butt. When you catch people looking, just keep looking behind you and braaping the throttle like you can't get away. Call it the "ex"

 

[Bill Daley]

Lot's of work went into building that.

 

[Summitric]

Truedat..... I bet it took quite a bit of time......

 

[Bill Daley]

I know a fellow that built a custom show trike from scratch.By the time it was finnished he gad over three years in it.
