Tri-Warrior Racing Tadpole Trike

[Locutus]

This sounds like a perfect fit for me, because I've been working on designing many of these features as mods to the Street Fox platform for my electric assist commuter. I have most of the parts selected and should be able to start building soon. But I wonder whether I should wait for the Tri-Warrior design instead.

Kat and Brad, do you have any idea when plans will be ready for this? Are you working on a prototype of which you'll have a photo available soon?

Most of my expense will be in components, not frame, so I suppose I could build the Street Fox then swap out components to the Tri-Warrior. But still.

I want to be up and running with a complete build by late spring of this year.

Hey Brad;
No pressure...

[KoolKat]

Need about 4 feet of snow to melt before the garage door can be opened!

[rickairmed]

Bah ya need a torpedo heater and a snow shovel :D:D:D. I am keeping my whole house livable right now with a torpedo heater :D.

Rick

[KoolKat]

Yeah, we have one of those heaters - in the garage!

[rickairmed]

I know Brad doesnt like the fumes right ;).

They make some that use propane gas grille tanks, too. No odor and safe for indoor use.
On sale at Home Depot and Lowes for $100 USD.

But, as Brad sez....first, you have to get into the garage...!!

Richie there isnt a fossil fueled appliance that is safe for use indoors. With that said I am using a trifuel torpedo in the house right now as an only source of heat . I have a battery powered carbon monoxide detector in the house and I am only running the heater for 15 minutes every 6 hours or so . I let the house get up to 85*F and shut it off when it ets back down to 55*F inside I fire it back up. I am stil out here in the garage currently 44*F out here .

Rick, if you leave the a$$ end of that heater out side you can greatly reduce the fume problem. We use them on jobs set in a window pearched on a saw horses and FG batts around its cold end to close off the window

:offtopic: Umm, can we get back to the original question please, friends? ;)Sorry....We thought Kat's answer in post #3 took care of it.

No garage = No work.
No work = No prototype
No prototype = No pictures/plans

Was there something we missed...??

Up this way, we're all subject to the whims of Jack Frost and Mother Nature.

..RR..

Yup, at least three or four months until spring thaw. Unless we have a miracle early spring, the garage is closed.
