being a disabled person and building trikes while sitting on a wheeled stool I am thinking of maybe cobbling together a three wheeled power wheel chain device.
go with a tadpole design (one wheel in back, 2 wheels in front, all 20 inch) and have a really short wheel base, like 12-14 inches. Basically a chain with handle bars and a hub drive rear wheel w/ reverse ( would use a front wheel hub drive as gears are not desired). Looking at prices for the power scooters and they are way over priced.
Need to look at design for wheel clearances etc but really wonder if this idea is feasible?
