Overview: We are creating a drift trike, out of a bike that we are cutting apart and adding a gearbox, motor and drift wheels.

Project X:

Drift Trike
Status: Active

We need to complete the following in order.                                   

1. Remove pedals.                                                                               STATUS: COMPLETE.
2. Cut lower back part of bike.                                                            STATUS: COMPLETE.
3. tested motor to ensure it works                                                        STATUS: COMPLETE
4. Remove pedal arms and gears                                                         STATUS: COMPLETE
5. Remove Braking System                                                                 STATUS: COMPLETE
6. 3D Modeling gear box                                                                     STATUS: PENDING
7. Weld lower part of bike to the top of the chassis.                           STATUS: PENDING.
8. Reform seat to be lower.                                                                  STATUS: NOT STARTED.
9. Replace seat with a chair seat.                                                         STATUS: NOT STARTED.
10. Extend rear bike shaft.                                                                     STATUS: NOT STARTED.
11. Reform gear drive and bike chain.                                                  STATUS: NOT STARTED.
12. Add drift wheels.                                                                             STATUS: NOT STARTED.
13. Add and wire up motor to battery.                                                   STATUS: NOT STARTED.
14. Replace handle with reciprocating saw.                                        STATUS: NOT STARTED.

Next Steps: The next part for our project would be getting the rear steel frame bracketed onto the aluminum frame of the bike.

Data Sheets: We plan to use 1 inch thick steel for our real axel which would cost about 50 dollars.
