This build went really fast. In fact it came together in about 3hrs after I had the parts. This is Sirocco's street sister and will get built out with trailer etc. But right now it's just a FUN trike.

Very simple single speed coaster drive train.

It's next job is to map out point to point time averages between the pickup and drop off points Sirroco will have at the beach and pickups and drop offs along the public free bus route and refill stations for batteries, water, etc..

Frame and trike kit were picked up here on the site as were the grips, bars, pedals...
 
The rear is 4.5"x20" rims laced to hollow hubs and shod in road hawgs. They are the same rims/tires as the schwinn choppers. It's easy to ride on the two wheels and the frame and fork work together to give it a surprisingly tight turning radius.
 
Re: Road Rage Tricycle - Getting Cooler

Found this cooler yesterday and popped it on with a few zip ties. I'll probably use some metal strap to attach it to the sissy bar eventually.

I will cover the blue part of the cooler with a placard mounting system and may try painting it with the krylon plastic paint.

Next is the trailer..
 
Re: Road Rage Tricycle - With Trailer...

It's still a mock up and needs some usability testing but I think this will work for getting a family worth of stuff to the beach head. I was encouraged that a 10 yr old seems quite able to pedal and drive it on level ground.
