Way cool Brother !!

Ok guys, I have had this crazy idea in my head for a while now and I can't seem to shake it..... so I'll probably have to build it, if it's feasible :grind:.

I want a single track trailer for my mini with a matching wheel and tire, but I want the wheel driven...

Hydrostatic drive? Really great build, BTW. :thumbsup:

Hey guys, I finally have some time to work on the 3x3 transformation.


Frame extensions. My HF pipe kinker cannot bend far enough so I had to make them 2 pieces and weld together.

The rocker assembly mocked up.

Here you can see one of the little .5" spacers I used to space the sprocket away from the wheel for clearance with the chain to the jackshaft.

Fitting the front of the "rocker" inside the original frame was tricky; that is why the rocker is offset on one side.

Stepped it up!!!

I toyed with the thought of this same configuration it will be interesting to hear about the pros and cons of the finished bike performance

I am taking both my bikes to Dunefest in Oregon end of July. I will have some good pics and vids of of them in action in deep sand and dunes.

Nice job steppin it up Thats what I did on my tandem decided half way through to add another wheel. I think you will be very pleased with the performance. Looking real good

Great stuff man !!

Wow, this is amazing!

That is crazy looking (in a good way)
I cannot wait to see this in action, unfortunately I cannot see your other videos.

Watching your build, BTW great fabrication work.

 

[wardog]

Thanks guys.

Here are some pics of the completion.

My friend Alex pointed out that my engine has the power of the fist.

I took it and my bug bike to the Billetproof NW show yesterday and had a blast. I haven't ridden it much, but already it is soooo much better that when it was a 2x2. The ride is very smooth, but best of all is the slow speed stability.... so easy to ride along with feet on pegs at a slow walking pace. This will definitely be a badass trail bike.

 

[KB2ROCKET]

Is that big wheeled bike yours too?

 

[wardog]

Yup, that's why I'm so interested in seeing how yours turns out with suspension.

There are a few vids on youtube if you search "muddercycle".

 

[chrisr]

Like to see some videos. Great job on both of your bikes!

Originally I was going to build my driveline like yours with a long chain run to the front but I ended up buying two right angle gearboxes that are pretty heavy the universal I bought is only good for a 15 deg angle 30 degrees total sweep OMG I just realized that I have no clue what I'm doing lol so far I'm just buying drive parts beyond that I have no clue yet

 

[KB2ROCKET]

How does the big wheeled bike compare to the dual rear drive bike when climbing hills

 

[dmetcalf69]

You have got mad skills...
Love both these bikes for all the different reasons.

Looks fabulous.

Wow, this bike would look good in a Mad Max movie, except it isn't ragged looking. Even has a winch, very cool! How do you shift and use the clutch at the same time?
