Motorized Drift Trike<\/p>\n

This was a solo project<\/strong> that I began during my sophomore year of high school. At the time, it was far beyond my skill level, so progress was slow. When COVID hit and classes moved online, I finally had the time to focus on it. I spent nearly all my free time in the garage building this drift trike<\/strong>, which became my first-ever welding project<\/strong>. Over the course of two months, I learned the fundamentals of metalworking, fabrication, and welding while bringing the design from concept to completion.<\/p>\n

The Cad<\/h3>\n

We tried to keep the design simple. In our experience, the more basic designs tend to be easier to construct and more reliable in the long run. <\/p>\n

The Frame<\/h3>\n

Once the CAD was finished, I started the construction of the frame. I completed the frame and rear axle, but I didn’t follow my CAD design perfectly because I realized that I could fabricate something more advance than what I had in my CAD design. I was able to construct a better looking and functioning frame.<\/p>\n

Engine Brakes and Electric<\/h3>\n

Once the frame was done, I created a motor mount and welded it into the chassis of the trike. I set up a custom brake arrangement. I made a switch panel for three switches that control my headlight, under-glow, and ignition of my motor.<\/p>\n

The Final Product<\/h3>\n

My final product was a drift trike that has eight horsepower and can achieve speeds of 30-60 mph (depending on the set-up).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
