How to build a DIY electric powered reverse tilting trike

In this video you see me building an electric reverse tilting trike scooter. It is powered by 2 hoverboard motors bolted to the rear wheel. It has front and rear suspension, and can lean in the corners. I used the front suspension from an ATV that I modified. It drives well but it’s a little underpowered for the weight. The hoverboard motors are only 350w each, and are powered by a 36v lithium battery. The motors are controlled by 2 BLDC 350w controllers. The front wheels are from an ATV, rear wheel is from a lawnmower. The frame is built out of 25mm tubing (2mm wall thickness) Chapters: 00:00 - intro 00:06 - building the front suspension 01:23 - building the rear swingarm 03:38 - building the steering 05:44 - building the frame 10:14 - fixing my mistake 11:58 - welding out everything 12:24 - building the batterybox out of fiberglass 14:42 - mounting hoverboard motors to the rear wheel 15:51 - final assembly 17:03 - presentation of the finished project 18:11 - testdrive Thanks for watching!
