Trike |
See this trike at MREA Custer WI June 19th to June 21st.
This is a all electric Reverse Trike that is powered by a 48 volts series wound DC motor that came out of an electric fork lift.
4 12 Volts batteries power this trike. A Curtis controller is used to controll the voltage.
Most parts are recyled. Frame is from a honda 750 which I bought for $50, 2 batteries are from Tom & Debbie/Demitree. Welding was done professionally by a welder.
Wireing was done by Swee & Trevor. Controller was setup by Swee, Ben & Marshall. DC motor & cables was donated by Leslie. Curtis controller was donated by Tom. Thanks everyone for donating parts & expertise.
