DB30 Trike

[Lucky7]

Awesome deal. I love that trike. Super sweet. Do you get in trouble for riding karts, minibikes,etc. on the road? Or have you ever got in trouble and what was your fine, punishment, etc.

Thank you.

So far so good. I cruised around the city's main street today for a few minutes just putting around on the sidewalk. I ride on the road on the side streets and so far I haven't encountered Johnny Law.

The few times I passed them I was on the sidewalk going a walking pace speed and they just drove by.

Edit:
I did get a warning one time riding my mini buggy on the road, but I was doing donuts a few minutes before in a vacant lot and the officer saw me. We live in a small town and people are pretty easy going.

I mostly get people stopping me and ask me about my trike or sidecar mini bike.

 

[Lucky7]

Yeh that is funny. I would say my town is easy going as well expect my minibike is a two stroke and when you give it some throttle it's louder than most harleys that drive around my neighborhood. And my town is full of old people and people who want to make trouble. But I haven't caught either.

I hate it when old people start making trouble. All hyped up on Geritol! acting like Betty White.

Ok kids Nick is not a role Model.
That hard plastic round looking thing he set aside and then bumped with the tire is a helmet it goes on your head.

 

[2SlickNick]

Lol. This is true Kids!

I rest my case

 

[2SlickNick]

Role model for all the Lil Rebels out there... Lol!!!

Playing in the snow for the 1st time on the trike. Video is a little long, but I had fun.

I guess that is one benefit to living where it snows... You dont have to build a drifter with plastic tires. Just buy a jacket. And its like 2 for 1.

In a few hours landuse will wake up and ask "what is all that white stuff?"

 

[2SlickNick]

Lol. True... It is too **** cold here, but snow drifting was fun. Glad I did it before we move to Az.
I am sure he has at least seen it in the movies. Like the Disney movie below LMAO!

Nick why are you so mean to that poor doggy? It just wanted to ride around with dad. That poor dog just followed you around hoping you would show it some love and pick it up and take it for a short ride, But NNooo! You wanted to keep all the fun to you're self.

He's just lucky he is quick. I almost slide in to him :/ a time or two.

what axle diameter did you use , what size rear tires are those and where did you get your parts? sorry for all the questions. i'm trying to build something similar

I used a 1" diameter axle - 32" long and the rear tires are 15x6-6.

I ordered the axle, hangers, bearings, hubs, and etc. from BMI - cheap prices, but shipping a little pricey.

Good luck with your build- I love mine.

Well... Since the last month of me being in West Virginia, I managed to completely wear down the jack shaft sprocket, which was #35 12t 5/8" with 6" 30/series driven.

I am sure drifting on the bare asphalt without plastic sleeves help contribute to that wear.

So for now I am installing the 20 series with 7 inch drivenon a three-quarter inch shaft and using a number 35 , 13 tooth count sprocket on the jack shaft.

This gearing will make it a major monster wheelie machine again. I will also have a slower TopSpeed proximately 25 to 35 mph. So since I'm going back to this set up future plans will include a wheelie bar.

Also forgot to mention I think my axle sprocket is 68t

This trike will soon be an AZ wheelie machine.

Also I might even upgrade to the larger golf cart wheels; one day...

If I recall (Ask your wife) This already was a wheelie machine!
Sounds like it will be Bad azz now.
