"The Bum Trike"
Generic Tricycle and Launtop LA170 diesel engine (Yanmar Clone)
Engine Kit Price: $300
Pros: None
Cons: Since the engine rotated counterclockwise, it was necessary to use a "jackshaft" to couple the motor to the rear axle of the trike. It is extremely difficult to get a jackshaft aligned properly without using precise machining equipment to build the mounts. Trikes are very unstable, and this one was a disaster.
