    Newbie with a (gasp!) axle question...

    Thanks for the advice guys. Tangiblestar: my impression is that a regular (non motorized) trike is drifted using your body weight, shifting side to side. I figured motorized or not; the same concept would apply, and the motor would just allow you to build enough speed to use and shift your...

    Sorry for the lack of introduction, I've been reading this site for a while but never posted. My name is Robbie and I have 3 kids, all boys, who are 13, 9, and 22 months. All are serious gear heads; anything with wheels and a motor and they can't resist. My 13 year old (also autistic) has...
