Sure seem the board has died so here's some photo's to get your mind's churning again. The Scootacar is simple and nice but may be a bit cramped for space. Then there's the Fugicabin with a bit more space. Of course you could always go all the way with simple with the Hermeze design. Usually the simple Open RT will be a great deal of Fun. And if you really need some power to haul the goods the cadillac trike is justified. Now the English used to take autos and cut off a wheel for a more comfortable trike. Personally i would prefer a bit more style in a trike. Like the Hodge Hawk. Of course you could take a regular trike, add a FWD car engine-drivetrain and revers the way it works like this Spanish Seat Caravele design. By the way it's a hydrogen design. And with so many strange engines to choose from you could have a air-cooled 3 cyl radial. or a 6 cyl harley radial design engine. or even a old racecar inspired radial engine. The Trossi Monaco racecar minus one rear wheel. In the end all we really do is copy and modify what we have already seen. Don't think it hasent been done before. The 1904 Humber motor-trike. Well, i hope i get some comments on these. Maybe i will go looking for more so i can post here if anyone's interested. SRX660

Thanks for the pics... That Hodge Hawk looks great... I have a VW rabbit convertable with a leaky roof,, but its a good running donor car.. I can see a couple of way to use as the base for a thrifty and fun reverse trike... It has the stock roll bar to help attach a rear sub frame for a real wide rear tire...I could leave the front half of the car as is at first, and then later go for some custom fiberglass body stuff...Im way open for suggestions.. TROY
