I'm pleased to be able to follow this project. I was a fan of Doug Malewicki's California Commuter too but don't have the skills to build something like this. Looking great! Thanks for making the video!
Wow Paul! I can only imagine how amazing it must feel to be able to finally drive the vehicle you dreamt of since your youth. The series and this video in particular is very inspiring and makes me want to have a workshop of my own. She drives really well and you can see how much you enjoy to drive her around, the smile on your face througout this video says enough!
Wow, awesome engineered single seat designed road toy! I love it! Wish these would be marked to single seniors who just want to go shopping by themselves! And possibly an affordable Roadster for those sweet dates❣
This is Very Cool. I would consider buying one if You go into production. You are a Great Role Model for Quality Retirement. Love the way Your Mind Works Brother. Thank You for YOU 🙏❤
Your an inspiration and you’ve inspired me to back to school so that I might one day soon be able to create projects such as yours. God bless and good luck.
Great build. I was so sad when I saw you sell your first trike. Now you are building one again and there is much rejoicing here. I just got a bike to start building one myself. Honda CX. 500. Got a old Porsche rack and pinion. A Opel gt front suspension. And a great interest in coroplast.
Well done! It’s beautiful! Ever since I saw a Morgan and a Messerschmitt as a kid, I always wanted to make a trike but in the same config you chose using a cycle frame and drive train but maybe a vw bug front end with lightened torsion bars to make it softer.
Super cool project! My 2001 Honda CBR600F4i has been in the garage for the last 15 year but I don’t really want to ride in that position. I’m going to start dreaming about a trike conversion like this!
In the 1950's My Grandfather built a 3 Wheeled Go-Kart for my dad....Later it became mine.... The frame was made from Car Drive Shafts in "T" configuration...U-Joints for Steering Knuckles... It only had rear brakes, and used 10" wheel in rear for BMW Isetta and Pulleys for front wheels and Aircraft tires in front... Started with 3.5 Clinton, it had a 372 JLO snowmobile engine at one time...I had a 6HP Tecumseh on it the most... I had CVT style belt drive to Jackshaft and Chain final drive... The 6HP would take it 40mph...the 372 was something like 18HP and 70 was attainable...never had enough brakes for that... But it was heavy as heck as it had full roll cage with forward protection. My dad told me, originally they had used spoke cycle-wheels like yours has, but they don't take well to "side loads" and folded over...
Absolutely fantastic, excellent workmanship, it's brilliant like a 30s Morgan, thanks for posting the video I've just discovered your channel love it, I haven't the skills to attempt something like that, but I admire your work thanks again for sharing 👍
With that open cockpit it must be something to drive! Impressing how you were going after potholes to see how it reacted. I can see your a test pilot at heart.
Now we need to see a leaning version. Check out what Norman Hossack did way back with his wishbone suspended bike front ends. A version of that with rocking arms gave a tadpole trike that leaned.
My admiration... I have put a lot of thought into making one of my own. But, never had the funds to make it real. Nice design and fabrication. The only thing I would have done differently is a slightly larger engine. Maybe a Honda 450 or similar.
I might hunt down the next size bigger Exciter, which is a 250cc. that way the motor mounts should still work. It's still meant for high mileage remember.
It's already one of your best "temporary obsession" projects thus far, and it's not even finished yet.
Seeing this build come to life and drive made my day.
I’ve truly enjoyed following this build up to this point. It looks like a lot of fun to pilot.
Adore you Paul! My husband admires your patience. Beautiful work! ✌🏼☺❤

Looks like a fun ride ! Looking forward to seeing the body.
Ive been following this project since the VW fromt end trike! Glad to see it running!
Wow Paul! I can only imagine how amazing it must feel to be able to finally drive the vehicle you dreamt of since your youth.

Love it! Both the looks and the simplicity
..outstanding Paul. It sounds good too. Bravo.
Got inspired to build one myself!
Fantastic as always. Makes me want to build my own trike.
super project, A+++ build and many thanks for the detailed build videos along the way.
Amazing. Runs beautifully.
I love how the front suspension is working out. Great job.
Wow, awesome engineered single seat designed road toy! I love it!
Wish these would be marked to single seniors who just want to go shopping by themselves! And possibly an affordable Roadster for those sweet dates❣
I'm slowly getting materials to build a slim two seater velomobile with a 72v hub motor I have
That looks fun! Nice work.
Fantastic. Very enjoyable series. And I'm very jealous.
Fantastic project and inspiration
Really love this project I’ve been watching for a long time
Spectacular progress. The beast is coming together nicely. Well done!
Thanks Olivier. Slowly but surely.
The BAT cave!!!! Love the progress, looks like it rides smooth!
Love it. You are a great DIY man!
CONGRATS on getting it to run & does the speed limit to. It really is cool.
Loved that 1st push on the new roll bar. You turned a nice shade of red. Nice trike. I like it.
Awesome. Great build that was an amazing ride
Really interesting and impressive build.
This is Very Cool. I would consider buying one if You go into production. You are a Great Role Model for Quality Retirement. Love the way Your Mind Works Brother. Thank You for YOU 🙏❤
Wow that’s awesome. Can’t wait to see it skin on! You’re an inspiration. Great work! 😎
What a sweet ride. Very good work
This is so awesome!! Love how this project is coming along and can’t wait to see what’s next with it!
A side open clam shell /flippac style trailer camper tent would be great with this!!
Yamaha XS 650 rider here. Great build! Have fun!
Wow! Shades of a mini Aero Morgan and beautifully built. She's awesome, Matey. Good job!
Thank you!
Are you thinking what I'm thinking....that thing needs a fairing! Very cool Paul!
That looks like a blast to ride around in
Well done, that puppy sounded great wide open !!!!
Very cool, Paul!
This Thing Is Killer great job
Your an inspiration and you’ve inspired me to back to school so that I might one day soon be able to create projects such as yours. God bless and good luck.
Cool Sanuel! The internet IS the new school, for the most part. UA-cam rules!
Its looking great.
Great project & your workshop is awesome
Thank you!

such a cool little death trap! ... well done ...
Super cool project! My 2001 Honda CBR600F4i has been in the garage for the last 15 year but I don’t really want to ride in that position. I’m going to start dreaming about a trike conversion like this!
It looks awesome!
It looks stable and fun to drive! Well built too :D
Super Job. Greetings from Hamburg Germany. 👍🙂
Looks like great fun👍
Your the best of what you do MR PAUL
That is a pretty sweet rig 👍. Excellent job on the build 👌
Good job!! That was a nice ride!
Aw it's absolutely beautiful!, well done, it's like a little Morgan three wheeler!, many thanks Paul!, enjoy it!. Le gra mor! Gérard lacey in Ireland.
I would be both thrilled and terrified to drive that thing. That's when you know you're alive!!!
Very cool 😎 love the build 👍
So cool getting to see it run!
Nice! Just about the perfect sound aswell!👍
Very cool Paul indeed.
Very cool Paul!!
Jako obvykle, perfektní..
That’s the coolest thing ever but everything you make is always pretty neat 😃
Paul. Be careful. Enjoy the ride.
Very cool Paul 👌🏼😎
Love it Paul aline the front end with a t square and ruler's on your floor

At first I thought it was slow, but then when you jumped on the throttle I thought it was too fast haha. Looks super fun
Absolutely fantastic, excellent workmanship, it's brilliant like a 30s Morgan, thanks for posting the video I've just discovered your channel love it, I haven't the skills to attempt something like that, but I admire your work thanks again for sharing 👍
Looked like the clutch was stuck, great progress, well done
Very cool Paul 👊
Congratulations amigo 👏👏👏👍👍👍🙂
This is the first video of yours for me to watch. Having said that, it will be the first of many.
Hello danm i like the way you built your trike thats awsome.
With that open cockpit it must be something to drive!
Impressing how you were going after potholes to see how it reacted. I can see your a test pilot at heart.
The true test will be when I go faster! Not that it's a Speed Demon but would like to know if it can handle freeway speeds.
Your neighbors will love it.
Brilliant project! I think it would look great in some stream liner type body work. 👍😎
As a lean steering tadpole....
Very cool indeed!!
You only have one first road test. I am pleased it went well.
Fantastic!! I can’t wait to see it with skin and some fuel mileage numbers. Great build!
I'm kinda curious about the numbers too, I like the idea of out of the rain and fell weather.
@12:26 Norman Nason said it all "very cool Paul". I completely agree.
Very Cool Paul 👍👍😎👍👍
Love the naked trike
Fantastico amigo, me encanto tu trabajo😱👏👏👏👏👏👏 saludos desde chile
Now we need to see a leaning version. Check out what Norman Hossack did way back with his wishbone suspended bike front ends. A version of that with rocking arms gave a tadpole trike that leaned.
Luv it, u have to make it with a convertible top, that would be awesome.
That's pretty damned slick.
I love your cart
This video is beyond epic sir!! How amazing that first ride must have been! Congratulations 👏👏
Thanks Boathead! Good to hear from you! Gotten any boating in yet!
Skills 👍. That's is awesome.
good gawd. effort. max, wow
Very cool!
Congrats Paul! Are you going to enclose it with something for winter riding?
Indeed!
Well done Paul. She a beautiful ride and has a nice note to it.looking forward to seeing her all dressed up. Regards, Mario.
Me too Mario!
Great,Awesome,Galing mo Paul!
Ingat.....
Well done 🎯
I get early indy car vibes from this...I love it.
That ride had to feel real good👍
It was much different than coasting 25 mph. It handles well at speed too, much to my relief!
I need one of this.
I like how your allowed to ride this on the road.
That should be a wild but practical ride once you get a body on it
My admiration... I have put a lot of thought into making one of my own. But, never had the funds to make it real. Nice design and fabrication. The only thing I would have done differently is a slightly larger engine. Maybe a Honda 450 or similar.

Awesome!!
