DIY Trike build part 4.
Steering and transmission continued.
been a slight delay on this installment. I've been waiting on some bits from Ebay, which is taking a while due to the current global meltdown.
also the steering geometry has destroyed my brain. what you see in the video is hours and hours of head scratching and beard stroking to get to this point, still not finished but the working prototype is pretty much there.

Wow! is all I can say. Very very impressive mate. I think you are in the wrong line of work you need to be working in R & D at some big company designing and engineering... Cheers!!

Amazing, someone needs to buy you a welder you would be an unstoppable creative genius

Everyone doesn't have access to a welder. Anyone can build this.

@@professorfukyu744 Yep. TIG welding Al is something that the average backyard DIYer rarely has any experience with either. A proper cut-off machine and a pedestal drill would be of more use to the gent.

How did you get the chain done? Did you add chains together or can you buy the chains that long? I want to do similar but with larger wheels and an assist motor. I've saved the sets of videos on this build.

I started off joining a load of old chain from donor bikes, but some had stiff links and we're just too worn. So I ended up buying three shimono chains and joining them together, taking out tge excess so it wasn't too sloppy.

you can use a hole saw to cut aluminum

@brucewmclaughlin9072 7 ай бұрын

if you have a hole saw! A drill press works better than the handheld , and a ratchet works faster than a wrench but if you don't got the drill press /ratchet /hole saw then you can still do this slower.

U went though some bolts and plates now. How was that $$ compared to welding ?

@grahammakesstuff.1916 2 жыл бұрын

I can't weld, so whatever the cost of bolts and plates, it's the only option I have.

Would you put all your trike building videos into one group? And do you have a plan or blueprint to share?

@StellarFella 2 жыл бұрын

What is the total weight so far?

@2ncielkrommalzeme210 3 жыл бұрын

music that use in your video is very good.İ want to learn from youı when you are making steering did you notice the ackerman law for front wheels.? i mean when you driled the alimunim did you give an angel . or when you cut the aliminum you gave.?

@grahammakesstuff.1916 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching. I have included ackerman compensation in the steering. I took an educated guess at the angles but also added a fair amount of adjustability, so I can tweak it as necessary. So far my guess seems pretty accurate, as I haven't noticed any tyre scrub.

2 questions, first how much cost you put out and may i had the blueprint bro? cause you know that kind off stuff in minimum buy about one grand lol

@grahammakesstuff.1916 3 жыл бұрын

I recon I'm somewhere around the £200 mark so far. Sadly no blueprints as I'm working it out as I go.

@@grahammakesstuff.1916 price is lower the i thought it would... awesome and for the design no worry bro, even it won't be the same trike but i can the clue making same trike base on your video lol, btw cool bike and the price make big trike companies will hate you for sure looooooooool

Are you idlers from derailleurs? Also, how are the bare bolts holding up?

@grahammakesstuff.1916 3 жыл бұрын

Yep, as they are on the non load side of the transmission, they are plenty strong enough. Also, no bolts have failed yet, although I have made a few more alterations/improvements, to be seen in my next video.

Ok so where'd the stearing wheel hardware rods come from ?

@grahammakesstuff.1916 2 жыл бұрын

Which bit specifically? I sourced lots of parts from lots of places.

Any plans on posting the build plans or turn it into a class 2 ebike?

@grahammakesstuff.1916 2 жыл бұрын

Definitely plan to turn it into an e bike, with a rear hub motor, once everything works and has been tested to destruction. With regards to plans, I don't have any, as the the whole thing started with a rough idea and a lego model, and went from there. A few things haven't worked and had to be changed, and a few worked but I improved upon. Measurement were very much ,see what fits me, and go from there.
