I’m new to designing and building a mini trike. Anything that you could send my way as far as the easiest ways the most efficient ways and parts and even the tools that it takes to build them your information on what to use to weld as far as wire or stick whatever it might be things like that would really help me and where I can get the 1 inch pipe for the project anyway I just wanted to introduce myself and I hope all is going well for everyone

Having to ask what kind of tools it will take to build a trike is kind of scary. Are.you mechanically inclined at all. For starters how about common mechanics tools, wrenches and sockets. If you are going to build a frame, tape measure, square, level, chop saw, welder, grinder, drill press. How much of this do you already own? Are you sure that you are not bitting off more than you can chew?
Welcome!

I would direct you to the main page via the All the way Home button and concentrate on the mini bike/mini chopper areas. That should cover the basics but your initial post is a bit vague on expectations.
Define “adult size”? Technically speaking every go kart and minibike is *adult sized* which means as small as humanly possible but can still be practically ridden. They were designed to be as small as possible, that’s the whole point. If you mean adult size like an adult size, street legal VW-powered trike with a Honda CB750 front wheel, frame and fork on it, well what’s the fun in that?

Very cool.
He looks like he's already getting braver. I see wide open and sideways in the near future.
