Very well done and informative. I appreciate your honesty while sharing details and difficulties. So many builders act as though their trikes are perfect and we know that ain't right. I have tried to make a similar video to explain my own trike with a walk around, but get frustrated with self consciousness wrecking the flow. Not so easy as it looks, you did a great job. Thanks for posting. Nice trike. Liteway
@@andrewmccarthy6404 That would be fun. I finally worked up the nerve to do my own talkie explaining DS/2.5's mechanical bits. Hope you do not mind me putting in a plug here. Check it out and post your own plug. ua-cam.com/video/Sf1yBwqy3Ac/v-deo.html
How did you go Andrew in getting new suggestions for how to improve your cart? I certainly have some idea's of something i have wanted to build for a long time that could be incorporated and other things that would be related but new builds. If you want to talk about it let me know.
Thank you for sharing sir I'm really inspired by your videos and my frame work is almost done but my problem right now is how to apply the Ackerman principal
If you draw a line from the top view from your steering attachment point thru your upper or lower mount point it will aim towards the rear differential or to the rear wheel in the trike configuration
If you don't push it to hard, you can't actually tell you are missing a rear wheel, if you do push it you tend to get snap oversteer. On cold tires or in the wet it can be a hand full, but also this is only if you are pushing it.
Hi, thanks for the video! What's the acceleration in 0-60 like? What's the weight distribution? I've been reading your forum for a while and absolutely love your documentation. Hope to hear from you:)
Yeah I'm not sure the 0-60, that's somewhat skill limited but the 1/8 mile was 89mph on 9 seconds, with some hefty off the line wait time. It's 60/40 weight distribution so 300 on each front and 400 on the rear with the driver. Glad you like it.
Not on my website, if you see something your in need of you can email me and we can discuss cost. Right now my business doesn't focus on trike parts, but I am a custom parts supplier, so if you like my upright designs using the Honda spindles I can definitely make and sell you a set. Anything you see on my second trike, green wheels, is pretty much available.
It could use some more padding, but it's pretty well formed to the body. I would use more padding but it would make the situation between my knees and the dash worse.
hello Andrew, I am very impressed by your work, I appreciate so much the fact you are sharing all this information with us it is very helping especially for automotive engineering students like me, I would like to thank you so much for this effort .actually, i am working on my final year project which is the same project like yours and I have some questions and I would like to get your email address so I can email you and tell you more about details.
Ciao hai fatto tanto lavoro per niente . Ti bastava incastonare la moto dal canotto dello sterzo levando le forche e piastre anteriori, fissando il tutto sul telaio della moto, traquardando i punti con un laser e maschera disegnata stampata e incollata al muro da poter fissare la luce laser su dei punti cardini costruendo intorno il telaio del trike, che ammetto hai fatto un lavoro pulito pro, le ruote anterioi penso siano meglio più strette su copertoni radiali tubles, su cerhioni da moto da 19" e freni da 320mm disco flottante, restringi la misura longitudinale dell'avantreno, usa il sistema sospensioni Mcperson, di questo ti dico perche ho smontato na morgan tricheca per diciamo ricambi usati concorrenziali, capisci a m'è!
Awesome job, Andrew. Thanks for sharing.
The best vídeo in details, congratulations

Someday you and I will have to meet and compare trikes because am very impressed with your packaging and fabrication skills and overall layout.

Excellent job! What size tubing did you use for the front a-arms?
1" diameter 0.095 wall I believe
fantastic work
Really nice job! i am building one. How well does it handle does it feel likr rolling over? ? mine is an offroad type with a huge tyre on the back

@@andrewmccarthy6404 thanks! Will you be selling any custom parts like the sipindles and suspension cantilevers on your website?

Hi,brasilian
Bom não sei falar inglês mais gostaria de saber ,que velocidade chega?
Does it feel comfy?
It could use some more padding, but it's pretty well formed to the body. I would use more padding but it would make the situation between my knees and the dash worse.
@@andrewmccarthy6404 oh I see. Im building one. Hehe
I want to build a replica of your trike. Am a little bit done with frameworks.
Well you can read through my forum page on reverse trike free forums, link is in the video description, if you have questions you can email me.
