What does it look like with the bars you have flipped over?

Hi Rallsqh, I am just using this neck and bars from my wife's 1956 Schwinn all beat up for looks, trying to find a heavy duty good looking 1" thread goose neck and start with straight bars and maybe pull backs?This is the "Trikester" I built many years ago with pull backs, looked and worked great, SO?

[TomyJ]

-- Now this is MOCK-UP, You can see where I am going with this, hope to get the goose neck and handlebars soon, Ride height? Wife say's more up...

[TomyJ]

Outside, Ready for weld,

Do you have trouble with registrations in Ca?

Do you have trouble with registrations in Ca?

Hi Jack, No not with this electric 25 MPH senior citizen machine (mobility scooter) Just don't drive stupid...EDIT Sometimes the DMV changes things and you made me look this up again just to make sure, I WAS WRONG AGAIN, Now the 3 wheel falls under, CVC 406. Motorized Bicycle(A) A “motorized bicycle” or “moped” is a two-wheeled or three-wheeled device having fully operative pedals for propulsion by human power, or having no pedals if powered solely by electrical energy, and an automatic transmission and a motor that produces less than 4 gross brake horsepower and is capable of propelling the device at a maximum speed of not more than 30 miles per hour on level ground..

-PullBack handlebars, (maybe I will flip them), Seat, Rear light and brake system...

Levers are in and what a all day bitch trying to just what I wanted, plated, mirror mount and cable/electric brake both sides, I am hoping for brake lights and flashing running lights, NOW does anyone know of a connector and pig tail for these electric ends??? Tare down tomorrow for Alum. frame welding on Monday...

[TomyJ]

Switches in the brake levers will not work, sooooo! return, Tare down time,Align and weld. Now I can order the motor kit and start on the brackets for brakes and sprocket. Hope the check is in the mail tomorrow???

Great work! Dreaming of building a smaller version of that for my kids.

---Back from the Alum. welder, Trying the other forks first, Ordered a 10" Rotor because of the swing arm/HeimJoint offset and started alignment of the caliper. The seat post/forward shock mount is ready for measurements and cutting to size with the seat bracket. Still waiting to order the electric kit, $$$

[TomyJ]

Garage Time Waiting on the 3rd set of levers, The other 2 sets have broken switches, so I found a USA company that makes them for electric bikes that need shut off and/or brake lights. Fender brackets?

[Jack Klarich]

I like that front end, are those beach bar handlebars?

[TomyJ]

I like that front end, are those beach bar handlebars?

-Jack! YES, I think they look Soooo! cool also, I will have the seat adjustable for my wifE 5' and 105 Lbs.

[TomyJ]

Did you notice the first gusset? I love the way it sits (attitude) Working on the seat post, Fender brackets, 3rd set of levers are in and look really professional, off today to pick up the caliper bracket that will be welded to the swing arm for trial then back for final weld, When the money comes in I'll order the EV kit and start placement of the Batteries and wires...

[TomyJ]

OK, Jack/Guy's I am thinking this style for the front end? Still working on the seat frame with what material I have laying around and the look of cool!

[Jack Klarich]

This would look bad ass

[TomyJ]

This would look bad ass

You are so right, (That is a really nice looking seat)... My ass would be so hurting at this 75 year old body of mine, I had to switch from the 1956 Schwinn to a mountain bike because it has shocks on the front and rear,
