Not Yet Named Reverse Trike | Reverse Trike

I'm hoping to revive this project for my senior design project in a few years. Hopefully you can use what I've learned so far and put it to good use. In my opinion, I think the most cost effective option is to buy a cheap geo metro, chop everything off behind the B pillar, weld up a custom tubular steel frame, attach a rear wheel and suspension, drop in a gas tank, and start driving. You have to be super cognizant of your center of gravity and weight distribution but it can be done.

HydroJim,

Thanks for posting up those links. It looks like you have put alot of thought into this. I would have to agree with the you on the Metro karate chop is the fastest way to get a fwd reverse trike going.

Also, you are way to young to give up on your high school dreams. Don't get discouraged by failed attempts or road blocks just keep at it. Eventually you will get there.

In order to see something like this happen there has to be a compelling reason.


In other words why do we want a FWD reverse trike that can get 100 MPG?

Next ask yourself how you can apply that same thinking to a fdw reverse trike.
