Everyone has seen the TRex motorcycle/car contraption that is designed for rappers and athletes to show off.
And many of us have seen the 1000cc+ home built trikes as well.
But in all my searching, I've barely found any builds that focus on fuel efficiency. Why must they use tire-melting power in these machines? Wouldn't it be great to build something safe, stylish, cheap, and gets 50+ mpg?
So, that encouraged me to start this thread as an overall "think tank" on different designs, concepts, philosophies, etc. I looked at every 3-wheel thread on Ecomodder, and the closest to what I'm thinking of was only a few posts long.
With all the different ways to do this, it'd be nice to get a consensus on which is the 'best route' to take. A Metro drivetrain with a static rear wheel? A 250cc/500cc motorcycle grafted into the back of a sandrail frame? With a VW beam, or donor a-arm setup? One person? Two people? Side by side, or in-line seating? It's easy to get lost in all the different options
Anyone interested, or previously kicked the idea around?
