This was one of the first trikes I originally built. Since then I've built and sold many of them locally to people.   The rear hub motor was removed and a 49cc 4stroke engine was added to replace it.  This motor has a built in jackshaft so that made things a bit simpler when installing it.    The trike has about the same top speed ( 30 mph) but now I have a lot more range with it again.  The little gas tank holds about 2 quarts or so and that gives me about 40 miles of range.  It will get me all the way across town and back before I need to add more gas.  I also use straight gasoline in it - no gasahol !  That stuff ruins small engines.  This is the third gas engine that has been mounted on it in the last 15 years.

You can find all the stuff that was  on both sites now on my original website page  http://www.leebell.net .  It's still called packratworkshop but it doesn't have it's own website any longer.     My health situation has gone down hill a bit and my finances have taken a beating because of it. I had to delete a few things from my life and extra websites was some of the stuff that had to go.   I acquired a bad case of COPD due to Pneumonia.  It caused some serious scaring in both my lungs.  I didn't even know that pneumonia could cause that. I am still doing bike projects but I've had to really slow that down too so please be patient with me on updates.  Thanks Lee Bell
