Hi Billy ,
read my threads for an insight into building homebuilt trikes , especially the build a pair of electric assisted trikes.

atomic zombie website and forum has a wealth of information on trike and bike building along with well put together plans.

Parts are mostly sourced from scrap bikes along with home built parts .
here are some we built earlier
