[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 286985, member: 6937"] Thanks. It's pretty fun, too. Originally, the trike was my girlfriend's dad's...but then he had a stroke. The wheelchair was also his. A couple of years ago, when he got a new chair, I rigged the trike where the motor assembly with the factory wheelchair wheels fit under the trike, and bolted up, so, although it was a trike, it only moved at wheelchair speed, which, that was all he needed, as only one side of his body worked. And when it was set up like this, it worked pretty good, and he enjoyed riding it. Sadly, he passed away at the beginning of this past summer. But we weren't about to get rid of the trike, instead, we decided to modify it to go a little faster, so we could start using it. As I said in the video, we initially tried sprockets and chains, but they proved to be unreliable, the belts are working much better. [/QUOTE]
