Tricycle with your own hands. Specificity of manufacture

Vehicles with three wheels and motorcycle engines are called trikes. A wide industrial production of them is not established, and the production of small companies is expensive. You can make a tricycle with your own hands from the finished parts and components used in cars and motorcycles. This process takes quite a long time, which means that you will need an equipped room.

There is a logical question, how to make a tricycle with your own hands from available materials and parts of factory production? It is necessary to begin to understand the structure of this vehicle. The classic layout scheme involves the installation of one wheel in front and two in the rear. Advantageously, a part of the reinforced motorcycle casing is used in the front part.

Manufacturing of tricycle frame

The load-bearing structure must be designed for increased load. A thick-walled pipe with a diameter of at least 20 mm is used for the frame. The connection is made by electric welding, the junctions are strengthened by kerchiefs made of sheet steel. Before starting the work, you need to make a scale model of the framework. The flat image has little in common with the real design realized in the metal.

The tricycle is assembled with its own hands on the frame, which consists of two parts: the front of the heavy motorcycle and the rear - homemade. In the design, there should be places for the installation of an engine, a rear suspension with a reducer, a fuel tank of increased capacity. In addition, the frame is welded to the nodes for mounting shock absorbers, full-size seats and vehicle controls.

Preparation and installation of engine and transmission

Of the domestic brands of heavy motorcycles, the best tricycle is from the Urals, with its own hands it is manufactured with the engine placed in the front. Such a scheme has a number of advantages and it differs primarily in simplicity and reliability. Brackets are welded in the place of installation of the power unit. Tracks use air-cooled engines, one of the best options is the ZAZ-968 engine.

The power unit is mounted on a tricycle with its own hands in such a way that the incoming airflow blasts the engine well. It is recommended to install the PTO shaft with additional dampers, placement of cardan joints or SHRUSS as close as possible to the gear unit. The mounting points of rotating parts must be necessarily closed from accidental access.

Assembly and adjustment of the product

Tricycles belong to the category of vehicles that are created for special trips. The appearance of them should be presentable and elegant, in the exterior is allowed an abundance of chrome parts. The standard fuel tank has insufficient capacity, and it is often used as an installation site for a dashboard. The same capacity for gasoline is installed in the engine compartment.

A large number of various equipment is installed on the tricycle with their own hands. Musical centers with powerful acoustics, fog lights and other devices need power. A powerful generator is installed to provide power supply.
