John, no one will ever say your rig is under built or designed.  :smiley: Is that a brake lever for the passenger?

No it's for a suspension lock for drifting the thing when running hard with the fellas.i would have made it electric but I couldn't find an actuator or solenoid. It's over engineered because it's adjusted at the wheel, not at the mounts, for toe, lean,etc. and because I had no idea of what I was doing. It's overbuilt because I've had sidecar frames break which I didn't care for. Hopefully it works as well or better than before. It might

Wow, that is one sophisticated piece of engineering! I bet it will ride and handle like no other.

I originally built it as a flatbed to haul a 300 lb electric wheelchair but it was all physically to big so I used a Velorex body, and way overbuilt so I'm gradually cutting it back. It handled really well and stable, 105 mph was a good top speed, after that I would get nervous . Mike Rich heads and all that, it would go faster. I'm thinking of a second battery and fuel tank.

The only thing you'll have to worry about, drifting the chair, are the rear wheel spokes...

Knowing John A he's probably tried threading rebar for spokes.

Rode it yesterday , I was pleased with the handling. Ran it at an indicated 105 mph for a while, nothing fell off and I didn't wad it up. It'll be a sucess, but the next one I build I'll just mount it and adjustment will be at the mounts like normal. Having it adjusted at the wheel is too complicated.
