I don't think the generator will be enough to put out all the power you would need to run the trike. I think it will only be a range extender.

I did notice that the front ATV axle IS from an all-wheel-drive trike. There is the little splined stub sticking out of the front differential.

I think hooking something up to that to make an AWD trike would be pretty slick. Alternatively, shouldn't the middle of that be disconnected to reduce drag if it is rear-wheel drive only?

It is a seriously cool cycle.
