This build was my ‘Spruce Goose’. It was great fun to build. It looks great. But it is a terror to ride at speed. The frame is not sturdy enough, the front wheel is not beefy enough. With 26 inch wheels the center of gravity is too high. That plus having a three point contact makes leaning impossible and possibly fatal. Three wheel ATVs were banned in the 1980’s mostly because when you spin out of a turn, you can’t compensate by leaning and you’re primed to do face plant. My helmet is not full face.
A street version first then maybe a ATV Fat Tire trike after that.
