Any other 2-stroke lovers??

This would be great to take the dog to the vet...




Sometimes I still lurk about hot-rodding a beauty like this... When I say hot-rodding, I think about improvements to the 2-stroke engine, not doing some redneck engineering to shoehorn a V8 which might be heavier than this trike is in stock form...

If you are braking at the same time the shift in the vehicle'a center of gravity is also toward that non existent right front wheel.

So instead of swerving left you roll forward and right, right into whatever you were swerving left to avoid, with the Delta trike on top of you!

That's why Quad Bikes have replaced the now illegal Delta Trikes that preceded them: Too many deaths and bad injuries.

Then there's the fact that 80% of a cars braking force comes from the front wheels, but only if there are in fact front wheels! (plural)

There is only one trike: A Tadpole, 2 front wheels, one rear wheel, trike! Irrespective of the power source.

Even then; you want the center of gravity more between the 2 front wheels than above the rear wheel, unless it tilts...

Clean 2-strokes: Easy at constant rpm.
ie: As a generator in a series hybrid:

That's wy I would take the weight bias into account while planning some mods to a trike like that.

AFAIK they're not illegal in my country. Odd enough, it's easier to register a motorcycle converted into trike than a quad in my country, even though in neighboring Uruguay it's easier to find quads registered as road-legal.
