so yeah, first time making an electric vehicle. the intent is to reuse the battery and ESC on an ebike.

A lovely person at the event i brought the motorized cooler kart to traded vehicles with me for 10 minutes, and i got to ride his electric mountain bike with a mid mount motor, and it was awesome, so i have the itch for that now.

Anyway, more of a goofy and fun project, I wouldn't say it was practical, and definitely won't change the world, but hopefully is brings some entertainment to your lives! :)

I'm not sure I was clear enough. I didn't mean to suggest that the wheels should all be mounted on the same axle somehow, I just meant that they could be in the same plane. So, you'd still have three wheels in line with each other on each side, but all on the same level so that your trike frame sits flat.

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
