    Cargo bed


    Rear drive train


    I've been riding it around the plant to get a feel for it. The rear brakes are new and the front drum had the pads replaced. All in all a very heavy duty tricycle.

    I am actually looking at a 4 wheel garden cart as a trailer. And there are clips made that will attach to forks for any number of things.

    Necro post:
    from that website I posted earlier... a nice write-up, and possibly an option for those not close to their BOL.

    I know if I had to bug out home from work the first place I would hit is the local highschool to appropriate a bike.

    I have been thinking on what to do if shtf happens up here on the ridge. Gasoline would soon run out, and if I did have a stockpile of gas, the sound or sight of me using it would be like moths to a flame. So it's a quiet bicycle for me, but I can't carry much on just a bicycle. So last year I got to thinking over the winter and drew out a few rough plans. I got on craigs list and found a used children carrying bicycle trailer (can't think of what they are called). I striped it down to the frame, and started adding aluminum angle for a frame, bolted on aluminum sheeting, and added a aluminum top. I can now pull quite a bit of weight, and my grandson likes to be pulled in it. I'll try to post some pictures if I can remember how.

    I must have deleted the finished pictures, but I will post one tomorrow of the trailer as it is now.

    I left out these pictures, they will be out of order, but at least you can figure out the process.
