when i got hurt i didnt know if i was going to be able to ride again or if i was how long it would take so my good friends got me a triped
it is Powered by a Minarelli V1 moped engine and goes about 20 mph
my friend has one his is powered by a modified Tomos A35 moped engine it goes around 35 mph also has the optional roof
now 20 mph is kind of slow if i change the gearing it wont be able to go up hills yeah i know i could kit it and throw on a pipe and a bigger carb but thats going to cost around $400 and require lots of tuning which im not in the mood for
but for $350 shipped i can buy the engine off this
its electric/pedal start OHC 4 stroke automatic 2 speed and 12 volt magneto which i think would be a lot better for a trike
endless parts available for that style engine too so if anything breaks it will be so easy to get a new or used part
so thats what im gonna do for the speed and power issue
im also gonna copy my friends roof under the seat theres a big trunk but the plastic is all dry rotted and broken so my friend is going to make me a new one out of diamond plate aluminum
this trike is going to be my excuse so i wont have to buy another car
