What's the fat disk in the rear wheel?

Hub motor.

But where do I put my child? (and their pineapple apparently)

How do you steer?

|
by left and right motions with your arms?

Much more betterer than the last one. Looks like you would actually be able to steer this one, albeit with some effort if the cart is loaded.

thought so. Not 100% though.

Will that be as easy to steer with 2 wheels than 1?
I honestly have no idea, hard to imagine.
Also, nice work!

Why is there a mail box in the cart?

There's not.

Please tell me you're not building this for real.

Hey man. I feel what you are doing. Would love to talk to you more about it.

Nice! It reminds me of these trikes street vendors in mexico use. Can't wait to see it done!

where's the hub motor coming from?

The wonderful world of eBay.

that should be interesting!
how is it powered, as in how does the power supply get to the motor?

Batteries in the cart feed to the control box in the cart which goes to the throttle on the handle bar which then feeds back to the control box which then gives power to the motor.

I meant how is the motor wired? I assume that it spins with the wheel, so is it using brushes contacting the hub, or are there wires coming out of the axle?

What's the moment around the front dropouts in the fork?
![]() 11/05/2014 at 18:11 |

Not much. The cart wheels will be supporting most of the weight in the basket.

I'm still a bit wary about some things on it, but I am looking forward to seeing how it comes out. Have fun, I've toyed with the idea of electric bicycles for a while, this looks like it might be going somwehere.

I'm welding up the frame tomorrow and then beginning the assembly, you'll see the finished project in a few weeks, ie when it's due.
