How hard would it be to make one of these?

[bikebudy]

On the Higher end Drift Trike's that use Electric Motor Hub Front wheel $$

They Make a Battery box under the frame ( Under Your wagon ).

You need Your Motor, Battery(s) and wiring set up first, as well as Your Pedal wheel and fork.
Rear axle, Sprocket, hangers and bearings. Now you can build the frame to fit the battery(s), motor and fork/wheel height.

Building a cage to hold the battery(s).

So you can power the front wheel OR Motor up to the Rear axle..

Now I don't know how many watt these Razor go karts are but, I do know they use 2 12V batteries.

I'm scraping out this one that I have ( all I want is the front wheels.)

gumpit, You can have the Motor Controls, rear axle, sprockets etc.. just for the cost of shipping. Up to you//

Sorry, batteries are shot and no charger but, I did charge it with a car charger and drove it around.

Interesting bike... Maybe use the drive?

Randy I have seen that style wheel for the rear at different swapmeets. This would be a cool build. The front fender might be hard to find.

Thanks but I may have a lead on a mobility scooter. I need the nice weather to hurry up and get here. This will be fun. Normally I would clone it but I think low speed,torque and quiet is the way to go on this...lol

Local Motors builds and electric drift trike that is FWD might check them out, they are kind of pricey but very sweet!!! One of friends is a sponsored drift trike rider for them.
Well I guess they aren't as pricey as I thought they were.

Bikebuddy, I have looked and looked for one of those used Razor karts for my kids on CL but every time I find one it is either trashed or they want GOLD prices for it and it's junk or they never reply. One of these days I will luck into one. What are you using the front wheels, I'm curious, LOL!!!

 

[hemigremmy]

Gumpit, search craigslist for a used green machine!!! The front wheel on those would work PERFECT!!!! They peddle to go forward but freewheel so you can coast too.

I'm going to use the front wheels for the Wheelie Bar of my Drag bike.
This is a Free way of doing this and I don't like skate board wheels.

How crazy is this, somebody just posted looking for one of these on a Pedal Cars page I liked on Facebook. Never seen one before a few days ago now I have seen two!!!

I can only tell my style one by the headlight reflector bump on the neck.

Does anyone have a link to where I could buy the proper tube for this frame? 2 1/2" maybe. Not sure how thick but beefier is better. I think I would need about two 8 foot lengths

 

[Stangrcr1]

I have built Nasar certified rollcages with smaller than that. I would look at 1 1/2" to 1 3/4" tube. I have 1 1/2 tube dies if you want it bent....

 

[gumpit]

I think I will need to get my tires and forks first before I can bend the frame where it needs to be. That way it will look level. I think the first one is going to be a simple pedal one with a unicycle front wheel and maybe wheel chair wheels for the rear. But they may be too big.

 

[Harleys Papa]

This would be fine :thumbsup: not cheap though :doah: But if you get it from them I can pick it up and save you on shipping :thumbsup: they have a place not far from here

if you want to use a free wheel pedal wheel the hub axle I posted would be perfect...if you run an elect motor the pedals wont spin with the wheel.

I think the first will be pedal only. Then after I will put some sort of a motor on another.
