Just a great video. Ian is the coolest shop teacher we all dreamed about. Jamie gives him the platform to create (and teach) with just enough humor to keep our attention. I really like when they can change course for a short time to discuss welder setup. I know your disclaimer is required but you are a great mentor. This build is perfect. Small enough for most people to follow (and have the tools to complete), yet still having fun with the design. We are all 15 year old kids in our dad's shop on this one. Thank you.

Thank you! You really hit the proverbial nail on the head. We both love our parts in the making of the KZbin content… Ian can never stop dreaming, building and creating and I love formatting it so that people enjoy it and mostly have access to his talents. Appreciate you! 👽👽

Excellent video! Are those wheel bearings something special? They seem to rotate with just a little pressure for a long time. I'm making a valve cover racer, and I was looking for that type of bearing. I ended up with skateboard bearing and took the cover off, and sprayed brake cleaner to get all the lubricant off the balls. Less friction.

I had a gokart with no clutch. Pushed it till the engine started and then climbed over the back of the seat. Did that quick or it would drive off and leave you!😂 Live axle. Was an old two cycle chain saw engine with original 36" bar so had a lot of torque! I hope that long fork does not bend when it hits a rut.😩

Memories? Why yes, it did bring back several. The burnt up centrifugal clutches, number 35 chain that no bicycle, tractor,etc had ,but my mini bike did! Memories of black tape over the carb inlet to introduce more fuel . I knew it needed something, but at the ripe old age of 9 or 10, the tape covered carb worked fine,as well as dads vise grips, zip ties etc.😂 Good times! Looking forward to part 12. Stay safe guys.

no money for tires on the go kart when you get a flat. at 11/12 years old your def not going too stare at that fine machinery you just got thru ripping around the block all day. red shop rags! buddy's dad had stacks of em,so we stuffed the flat tire full of em. as many as we could stuff in. was great first starting out then it would be out of round. so we would bounce but still has fun.

To reduce gearing to accommodate for the big tires the smaller sprocket on the jacket shaft needs to be on the tire side. I enjoy all of the videos and appreciate y'all letting us ride along.

Three suggestions: 1. Run the jack shaft through to both sides of the bike. This way you will have a drive gear on both wheels. Also, then the seat will be low and you won't need to run a through axle. 2. Stand the motor up so you don't have it so close to your crotch, it will look better too. Rotate the pull start mechanism so it's in an easy position to pull. 3. Lower the jack shaft so the chain won't be so high.

As you were talking about colour choice, I spotted the Frankenstein hanging on the wall. The minitrike reminds of something you would see in the cartoon Whacky Racers. I think a orange, green and white colour combo would look cool 😎

I would really like to thank you Ian. I’m restoring a 1947 Kit teardrop trailer that I’ve had since 1974. Also a 1957 Ford F100 that I’ve had since 1978. Both are frame up restorations. Although I’m not doing any ‘custom’ work to either, except I’m doing a rear roll pan and trailer hitch on the Ford. I’ve learned a lot from you about how to go about doing different things. The frame down on the Teardrop and several things on the Ford. They are both nearing completion. I want to pull the trailer with the Ford. I’m 78 years old and although quite active, I’m still slower than I used to be. You have been a great inspiration to me for several years now. I think that you and I think alike on the way we go about doing different things. We just kind of go on the fly, figuring out things as we get to them and at the same time, thinking about the next thing to do. Like you kind of do, I work on one project for awhile and then jump to the other one. That keeps me from burning out on either of them.

@willwade1101 2 ай бұрын

The torque will rip that jack shaft off the moment you apply power to it. To make that jack shaft as strong as can be it needs to span from 1 side to the other side of the trike. I would place the shaft in a pipe & where the sprocket needs to be I would insert a "Differential housing" consisting of a large enough piece of pipe to accommodate the diameter of the sprocket & chain. The ends of the dif would have plates welded on them with bearings oin them and the pipe welded to the dif would have bearings at the ends. Make the diff by cutting a large piece of pipe in half so the front is open for the chain to enter. with this set up you can also put a shroud, on the end of the shaft housing, around the sprocket that drives the wheel to keep it from eating a leg.

@@65cj55I was a Machinery Repairman on the USS Orion (AS-18) from 1976 to 1980 and I worked in the machine shop manufacturing level 1 parts per the packages sent to the shop by P&E. Each task was a step by step procedure that had to be signed off by a QA inspector before being able to proceed to the next step in the manufacturing process. I was also responsible for rebuilding high pressure steam valves and pump shafts and casings which were radioactive from the steam that passed through the reactor polishing the slip rings on the steam generators on the submarines which was only accessible through an opening barley large enough for a man to fit through. We were required to wear dosimeters the whole time due to the radiation and when your limit was hit you could no longer enter that space for a whole month. I have worked on the USS Woodrow Wilson (SSBN-624), USS Sturgeon (SSN-637), USS Grayling (SSN-646), USS Ray (SSN-653), USS Sand Lance (SSN-660), USS Sea Devil (SSN-664), USS Seahorse (SSN-669), USS Narwhal (SSN-671), USS Bluefish (SSN-675), USS Billfish (SSN-676), USS Batfish (SSN-681), USS L.

Not to contradict your excellent engineering skills I would like to suggest that you pick up both sides of the oval seat pan with maybe some 1/2” square tubing and space the jack shaft bracket down that amount for some more structural integrity. Also I think you want the smaller gear on the inboard side of the jack shaft and the larger diameter gear on the tire side. I always enjoy watching you work!
