Woohoo! Got the Trike 90% finished today and took it for a couple of test rips. A few things:
One, it turns really bad. Partially because of the locked axle, partially because the flex in the rear swing arm (I think). Pretty much when you try to turn, the whole leans toward the outside of the turn and makes it super sketchy.
Two, the gearing feels quite long. It goes 45mph (pretty easily) but idle is like 15mph haha. Unfortunately I pretty much have the shortest sprocket combo possible.
Lastly, ITS REALLY FUN!
I have a few ideas on how to improve it. Step one is to fix the bent arm and brace it up. That might make it turn better. Step two would be to add a differential axle. If its still weird after that I can just ditch the two rear wheels and go down to one center one. It would look funky but probably function better!
