Homebuilt Reverse Trikes
(Generally sorted by name)
I added this section to link to the few well built home-built reverse trikes that have pictures posted on other sites as I'm made aware of them. A few of the nicer builds I may host on this site. I don't intend to list every homebuilt I find. If a page has substantial information or pictures available on a particular project, and the reverse trike appears to be well made, or at least looks like it can be licensed for the street, this is what I'm looking for in this section.

Jan Engstrom's 72-volt Trike - The Charger
You are welcome to list "The Charger". It has been fun to design and build.
It is a great ride; totally quiet and instant torque. I am planning to build
another one. Many people are interested when you drive it. I have to tell you of one experience I had.
Publish it if you want.
One day Terry a neighbor of mine, had some bikers over for a BBQ. Terry called me bring out "The Machine", as he called it.
I quietly reversed it out of my garage and over to the group. At first they didn't notice me busy talking as they
were, "Oh yes it is electric", one said. "No noise no power", another laughingly
stated.
At that time I quietly backed out and lined up my trike against a wooden fence down the hill.
Seconds later I gave it full power, and 400 Amps rushed in to the motor the drive wheel thru rocks and road gravel on to the fence
"ra-ta-taa". I squealed on the blacktop and took off up the hill.
Upon my return I noticed that the bikers had now stopped talking. Stunned and holding on to his beer can one guy said,
"I couldn't believe that electric is that fast, it's no big motor". Another one with gold chains hanging down from his neck
said, "Powerful little b**tard you have there". Yes, I replied, it's not cubic inch but kilowatts, no noise no
smoke. I left the stunned group that just had experienced a touch of the future.
"The Charger" is now with another owner somewhere in British Columbia,
Canada. I am planning to build another one. Thanks for your interest, Jan
Engstrom
