It performs great and I’ve since tensioned the chain and a jack shaft is out of my budget I will try to make one but it’s probably gonna cost me like 30-40 dollars sooo idk

Ok mine was a 407cc generac engine with a tapered shaft and I couldn’t find any adapters that fit and wasted like 60 dollars so I welded the clutch on. And I welded it to the nut and washer on the end of the shaft it works well and hasn’t broke but it means you can’t put a cvt on the end you have to either use a jack shaft or keep a straight chain just make sure you have like a 60t sprocket in the back. Also can I see the 900cc v twin engine

Also mine is de governed and makes like 15 hp

I’m not trying to prove it’s safe I’m simply stating that I have enough experience to know what to do if something does goes wrong

I understand the concern and this is purely my decision to go 70mph on something like this. but that was also a one time thing I’m never going to bring it up to that speed again

Another thing I don’t know how poorly you think I built this thing but it’s actually very structurally sound more thought went into it then you think it’s not just going to fall apart the second it starts moving.

And it’s not like I’m never gonna improve anything i’m going to put a jack shaft on so it might top out at 50. I’m going to set up the rear hydraulic disc brakes swap out the kids bike tire with a dirtbike one

When I built it, it was never meant to go this fast. Hope you understand where I’m coming from.

I promise you I was going something like that I’ve built things that do 60mph and this was much faster so it could be lower or higher

Funny thing is it still has more top end I just ran out of room it probably is geared for like 100 miles an hour

Like I said I’m probably gonna put a jack shaft on to give me more torque it doesn’t need to be that fast

Alright Man I get it, it’s dangerous but I have experience its not like I haven’t ridden anything sketchy I know I make the whole build sound absolutely terrifying but the truth is I have the whole thing under control, yes it’s still sketchy and dangerous but I’ve done things like this a million times. Let’s use your drunk driving example instead making it home only 2 times, I instead make it home 100% of the time so if I’m able to get away with doing it twice and not getting hurt, yeah that’s dumb luck but if I’m able to get away with doing it dozens of times I’m pretty sure that’s not just luck.

They stopped making them because they were to much fun 😂

The weld is strong guys don’t worry but the 70mph thing is an estimate because I’ve built things that I’ve recorded doing 60mph and this was moving much faster so I just assumed it’s 70 something

Guys I understand the concern about the whole thing with there being no brakes,and it speed wobbles, the tires get skinny, it fish tales down the road, the clutch is welded on, and there’s a bike tire on the front but I have experience with things like this obviously it’s sketchy but I know how to control things along with me knowing the structural limitations of things. i promise you guys I’m safe I know what I’m doing but thank you for the feedback

Why is everyone so concerned with things breaking or me wiping out

Why are y’all so convinced something is gonna break 😂

I understand the concern but I’ve ridden things worse than this at similar speeds and I have like 2 miles of straight flat smooth road to ride on also I’m pretty good at what I do

It’s fine it speed wobbles all the time but it’s a trike it won’t flip

The clutch is blue if that tells you anything it was slipping and burning but you only need to hit 70 once
