That last bit with the roll cage was sweet.
I wonder how hard it would be to modify a trike for that...

I would love to know how his rear axle was set up...unlocked diff with a brake on each wheel? How were the brakes actuated ? Does anybody know his set-up?

Found another related vid about him: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqL-U...eature=related
This guy owns his wheelie bikes and 3wheelers. He also explains how they were made, how his trike were made to turn during wheelies.
Another sweet vid!

Thats one trick three wheeler. I still havent really figured out the rear end setup....

It's pretty easy. The wheels in the back each have their own brake on them, and when the wheel is turned up front, they push in a hydraulic piston, which then activates the brake on that side, so if he turns left, the left brake will activate, braking up the left wheel, turning the trike left.

I don't see how it can be that simple....I mean I saw the video of how the rear brakes are actuated by the steering setup...I get that part. The part I am stuck on is the axle. If the axle is one piece, I truly need a physics lesson, because I don't see how having a brake on either side of a solid axle would cause one side or the other to stop while the other end of the same piece of metal keeps rotating. None of my 3wheelers have a brake centered on the rear axle...the 250ES and SX are both at the extreme right end of my axles...and I don't go in a right hand circle when I brake.
I watched the video of Kirk explaining the trike setup....and I looked at the rear axle....I'm just puzzled as to how they make it work.

If you look at the vid posted up in post #10....you can see the rear axle (at about 2:18), and it looks to be a straight axle....no differential...at least not a conventional one. Maybe it uses electric motors on the wheels like the front wheel of the ATK...but I still don't see where the axle is "broken" in this setup....I don't see how it's possible that the axle can be solid...I'm too curious LOL...
