Pics!

Here are the pictures that the manufacturer sent me of the reverse trike in their factory.

I can't wait for this to be at my door! Ships this Tuesday.

Ordered!

Well I broke down and ordered the bike (reverse trike) today. I ordered it directly from the manufacturer at a discounted price (which I can't disclose). They are very interested in seeing the finished project. I stopped by Electric Motorsport and talked over the project with Todd. We came up with a few ideas but will know better once the bike is physically in our hand. I am very excited for the bike to get here, shipping is scheduled for Tuesday.

The Start

This is my idea for a all electric vehicle. I have decided to attempt to build a three wheel motorcycle, also known as a "reverse trike". My idea came from a need to have an all electric vehicle that would get a range better than 100 miles. I have researched and decided that the easiest and most feasible ways to accomplish this would be to build a motorcycle, and more specifically a reverse trike.

Advantages of a reverse trike

• lighter than a car
• more room than a motorcycle
• more stable than a motorcycle
• easier to comply with safety regulations
• easier to import an existing model from out of the country
• parts are cheaper than a car
• I already have a motorcycle license
• potentially more fun to drive than a car
