hi all the frame is all welded together and its time to make the seat. timber bench seat is looking good
and it will hide the batterys and wires, so i will post some photos as soon as i can.
i am using 16inch wheels at the back and a 12inch wheel at the front i am hopping that this combo will work ok what do you think

update on the trike had to change the front wheel from a 12 inch to a 16 inch to try to put some more height on the back wheels as wheelspin happens a lot even with 3 kids on it. it will spin the back wheel.

first real test ride, went well, getting well over 40kmh at top speed. but just putting aroung the yared and street, the kids are getting over an hours runtime. if they take turns on it, they can run aroung the back yard nearly all day before a recharge.
i have to get mine going, i have a bigger motor( more power ha ha )
