I Built A Homemade 250cc Trike! Will It Work?

[@SamPilgrim]

Incredible!! 🤣

[@rayrice9060]

He sounds just like u Sam just as mad too lol

[@jordanbooker]

You need a go!

[@user-friendlyhuman]

Ride it Sam :) ❤

[@raymondo162]

yeah he's really working on another level and is a cut above

[@tonysargent1699]

Ally wheels. Wider at the rear with flatter, car type tyres. Wider rear axle to counter balance the height. Steering dampers; two of. Without a differential you are fighting the physics of two powered wheels that are trying to push you in a straight line, as you go through a bend or corner. That's all so far, off the top of my head. On a happier note, GREAT VIDEO!!!

[@gee_on_wheels]

As a person with a disability (wheelchair user) that has just bought a quad bike. I would love to try this. I am hoping one day I will be able to ride a dirt bike. THIS IS SO COOL 😎

[@jordanbooker]

That’s awesome to hear!

[@gee_on_wheels]

@@jordanbooker Thank you 😀

[@paradiselost9946]

be careful! dont wanna end up in a wheelch... oh. carry on .

[@99bevo]

Awsome a Suicide trike .. Hats off for your effort. But it's Unstable in need of wider wheels..front & rear If you ride it with all its power be sure to fill out your life insurance policy and take up a good medical cover plan... Unless you welded gussets in the frame watch it don't snap the frame with the added stresses

[@jordanbooker]

I agree, I think lower profile and wider rear wheels will help it out!

[@99bevo]

Agreed lower . Wider wheel.. Suggestion you mite find wider triple clamps and lower forks from wrecked road bike & modify for fit . . add guests weld to strengthen the frame especially were bike swing arm connecting frame ...this is what the TPC & BVC trike conversion kits suggest in the US as failure to strengthen frame will eventually lead to frame snaps cause from extra stresses of trike Axel twisting the frame .. . But in general you have proven their is a cheap way to build a fast trike .. Well done now its only a matter of making some improvements to finish it off now . Your almost there .. Cheers from Aussie

[@joelatkinson2080]

Great video!!! That was great racing Tommy.

[@cdavies102]

well impressed you cleared the 100 foot table on it!!!

[@jordanbooker]

I actually think I went an extra 30 feet

[@joelatkinson2080]

See if you can fit regular ATV wheels and tires to the back end. That would allow you to slide it around the corners easier. Awesome home engineering!!!

[@keithwilliamson46]

Awesome job, straight out the top drawer 😊

[@jordanbooker]

Thanks man!

[@BlastMonkeyGarage]

Haha that was a good video that👌 Tommy cracks me up definitely Victor Meldrew of the bike world 😂

[@jordanbooker]

Class banter always from Tom 😂

[@hughproject]

This was hilarious - fun to watch, even though it looks risky as 😂👌

[@davidrochow9382]

I'd most probably at least put some air in the front tyre. It's always great to see somebody having so much fun. I think it was definitely the best motorcycle there.

[@jordanbooker]

Hahaha thank you!

[@summitmoto]

Couldn't love this more!!!

[@jordanbooker]

Need to see you rip it!

[@nseric1233]

It needs short wide rear tires like 3 wheelers run. You have to drift it around corners constantly to keep it upright so the dirt bike tires need to go.

[@jordanbooker]

I agree! I kind of wanted to make it with normal mx tyres though so it would look stupid!

[@amyhinc5017]

Best wheelie you’ve ever done

[@Trindal]

I wanted to take a Honda 250r or 250 Quadracer rear swing arm and axle(the whole bit even wheels and tires) and do something like this. Looks like you already have to run it like a quad, might as well put on quad tires.

[@aaronroe4127]

This is mint mate what a boy ! How do you record the sound in your helmet what mic are you using ?

[@jordanbooker]

Thanks! Just using a DJI lav mic!

[@paradiselost9946]

if you were willing to go that extra step... swingarm. split it. jackshaft, maybe a diff on the pivot, so it can run cabins both sides. like the honda 600 cars were doing... independent swingarms, and if you delve into something like the "jetrike", its relatively easy to add a linkage so it will actually tilt yet centralise, rather than flop over. as it is, any "trike" conversion to a delta is a deathtrap... fun, but deadly. funny how people get this idea theyre more stable... forget those days as a toddler on a tricycle. or maybe they just remember learning to ride two wheels and falling off a lot?

[@jordanbooker]

Thanks for your input, I like the idea of independent swing arms... there will definitely need to be some improvements!

[@Phantom-nx2jz]

Use two 85cc tires in the back. The tires are too big and it makes it unstable

[@jordanbooker]

That's not a bad idea!

[@rayrice9060]

Thats a nerf barbecue😂

[@jordanbooker]

😂😂 like a shopping trolley

[@MiniGillen]

Lemon 🍋 haha love it

[@Petepremium]

Try quad wheels on the back

[@jordanbooker]

I think that would help a lot!

[@rfiskillingussoftly6568]

Fun stuff! 👊

[@298CRE8]

Too much flex in spoked wheels I'm a engineer near brum if need a hand pop up got twenty odd quad atv axles could modify better than that and could drift well we are knocking up an exc or sx 250 300 quad this summer love this build wild and sketchy the British way 👌🫡😅🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@jordanbooker]

No way! Drop me a private message somewhere!

[@Charliesaysz]

That thing in the snow would be interesting, keep it at least till winter

[@jordanbooker]

You're right! I'll for sure keep it

[@jerryfarmer5989]

Cool so weird it's cool. But a bit of re-modding with independent rear suspension might be the trick. And yeah a chain guard.

[@jordanbooker]

A chain guide for sure! haha

[@LakesEnduro]

mental!!:)

[@AZBADBOYz]

You guys gotta put some paddles on this thing and hit the dunes in the US.

[@linzimumford3829]

Needs a differential and independent rear suspension to get rid of the sketchyness. Another foot of width would help too.

[@jordanbooker]

I agree! Thanks for your input

[@M.M.M.81]

Try quad wheels

[@jordanbooker]

Good idea!

[@jamallhenry8341]

Needs a chain guard

[@theLyzhendricks]

Should he put some nee and elbow pads on aswell or just the vagisil

[@jordanbooker]

HAHAHAHHA

[@jamallhenry8341]

@@theLyzhendricks it's funny until it comes off and wraps around you fool

[@Futuristix.]

Serious question...is it uncommon to own a truck and/or trailer in Europe? Always see you guys with vans.

[@jordanbooker]

First of all it rains way too much, and second your bike would be stolen in minutes!

[@bobdillon2642]

You have guns to protect your bike.

[@RandysRides]

lmao. At least it'll be easy converting it back to a bike.

[@andic6676]

Fit a differential?

[@DirtyBob200X]

Go to BVC Trikes and get a proper conversion.

[@jordanbooker]

I like the DIY way

[@BrandonHamer-pn8vm]

Would work better with smaller wheels on the back 💯

[@jordanbooker]

100%

[@andrewbates2816]

Yeah brilliant.

Would for sure help!
