Ciao Italo! Very nice RT! I am planning to build an RT EV based on the 1906 Stanley Steam race car body with the body reversed. The Ducati 1098 single-sided swing-arm will be located under the pointed front end and the front wheels outside of the rear curved end. So I am reversing the body direction to accommodate this. Giovanni

Very cool, I love the smaller design. How did you compensate for leg room?

Ciao Italo, I'm using a lot of Ducati 1098 parts on this trike. The wire wheel centers will be machined from 7075 aluminum, using measured drawings of the Ducati BST carbon fiber wheel centers. The rims will be aluminum with stainless steel wires. I'm also using the Ducati brake calipers. The body and belly pan will be made from www.alulight.com aluminum foam panels, aluminum extrusions with the lotus type epoxy/screw rivet technique. Regards, Giovanni www.alulight.com/en/downloads/sandwich_en.pdf
