Hmm, wonder how an old school go-kart with a live axle would work with those type of PVC wheels on it...
Good luck on your build, can`t wait to see it in action.

My buddy built this in two days. He's added a few other things to it since the photo was taken. I can't wait to see where your project goes. I may be building one with a 20" front wheel as well.

Where does he put his feet when he rides?

I'm going to have foot rests coming off the frame , some guys have the pegs on front wheel but you have to remove a foot and float your leg when turning that way , I'm to old for that , lol !

That photo was taken after day 1 of fabrication. The little things were started on day 2. I haven't seen it since the pic was taken. He's out of town on business now, but I'm hoping to start a build for the build off this weekend, which means I'll see the trike. I'll try to snap a pic.
