When I was a kid I remember a letter to the editor in Hot rod magazine showing a picture of a childrens tricycle with an engine on it. The story as I remember it was the drag strip this guy frequented did not allow pit bikes. He figured nobody would kick out a grown man riding a motorized tricycle. I thought that was cool and occasionally thought about it when here a few months back @lostmind pm's me with that exact picture. I started gathering parts and went for the first short ride today. Still needs paint and a different front wheel etc but thanks man for the kick in the ass!! here is the old pic here is what I have so far....
you'll start a trend , there'll be a class at every show for those. Nice job, going to call it " Tinker Toy" ?
Seat looks factory to me, hi line bike with chrome fender. Whole new rabbit hole now, upholstered tricycle seats. You'll need more display cases now for all the Trike accessories. Have fun.
Wicked cool trike and think the seat is a bronze metal flake not gold but bronze. You can see hints of the flake and who doesn’t like metal flake!
Seeing where the sparkpl,ug is located,I would be real careful about sitting too far back on the seat. You just might experiance a "shocking"awaking. Good luck.Have fun.Be safe. Leo
It looks the same color as the engine to me, gold, copper or bronze. I bet it wasn't very old when the pic was taken
hmmmmm.... none of them look exactly right, but that old color picture may be faded? with that said I like the gold that is at 5 o'clock so lets go with that!!!
I'm thinking some of you haven't seen his twin engine mini bike? Lol.... This thing is nothing compared to that thing! Mark I don't think I'd even fit on the trike at 6'2.... I'm too big to ride. Like the opposite of an amusement park. #sadface

Yeah, that thing is insane. I'd like a test ride on that sucker. My lil Indian has a hopped up predator 212 in it, torque converter, etc, and I can't keep the front wheel on the ground if I tried when I gas it. I can only imagine this thing....
Pretty strong following for the Predator powered mini bikes and go karts.... Do a Google search on those..
