Any Room for something with 3 Wheels?

[TrikeDrifters]

Hey Guys

From Australia and have recently designed and built a custom Powered Drift Trike, Gokart back wheels with chopper like styled handle bars. I believe it is best of both worlds with the adrenaline of drifting at high speeds.

Is it front wheel drive? In-hub motor? Most of the powered rift trikes I see are rear wheel drive and they seem to have problems with accelerating and burning through the PVC pipe around the rear tires. Your trike looks like it performs amazingly! Any specs on the motor and battery pack you can share?

Hey Guys

Def is a hub motor in the front wheel as a lot of you would already know. Though not a standard one as they burn out and lack good power. Batteries as the next problem with the custom hubs draining batteries n a matter if minutes and not to mention the heat from everything. Wheels we use HDPE, PE or PVC we also. Build custom frames , axles and central hubs used with high quality bearings. Believe it or not it is the front wheel that Burns out, we tried many smaller front tyres all failed.
