Finally had time to get back to this project It has been a while since I have been able to work on this project, and so it is time for some progress pics... I had to remove the rear axle, it was just a tube with bolts welded on each end, not a live axle. This is the powertrain, minus the...

Thanks again guys, looks like Northern tool really wants to sell these... free shipping and free cart too...

That will brace it up more, I will work on how I need to mate the bike frame in there next and that will give me a better idea of where the spacing needs to be... Thanks...

Have removed the roll cage and the seat...

Ok, a while back I was given a couple of flood damaged electric bikes like these: All of the electronics were toast but the motors still work so I have been wondering what I should do with them. Have had the itch to remake them into *something* I also got an old go-kart frame from a cousin...

I am from the West Texas area and I am working on combining an old homebuilt kart and an electric scooter into an inverse trike. I don't know how many of you are gamers but I want to end up with something that looks like the ghost vehicle from the Halo series video games.
