Hi, I am DaveJ on many forums, mostly Reverse trike or Suzuki Burgman scooter sites but I am a Newbe on here.

I am looking at building a reverse trike due to my many injuries in 3 major motorcycle crashes. I am a retired disabled Army vet and worked in the telephone trade until my last crash and could not do my job so I was forced to resign. Limited income now.

I will need around 50 to 70 Horsepower. Total weight before batteries and my body weight will be around 500 pounds. With battery and my butt in the seat I expect 1100 pounds.

So a place to start is with a proven design like a Zero or such EV motorcycle. 

Looking for fairly new bikes parts for the better motors, BMS, and such.

It will be CASH, PayPal or trade for items. Have many parts from 90's Mitzy/Eagle Eclipse/Talon AWD turbos or Scooter parts to trade with.

And thank you for your service!

Hi Dave I saw what your total weight setup will be.  You feel 1100 lbs.  Just a heads up a Zero curb weight and carry capacity is about 750 lbs total.  I don't know if that limit is based on the suspension limits or motor limits.  You may want to make sure the motor can handle that much.

Good luck.
