    1983 Honda Three Wheeler HELP!!

    I am having some problems with my trike. I rode it last night and then parked it outside. It did get a bit cold (-2 celsius) or so. The problem is that when I put it in neutral, I cant push the bike. Even when I start it the back tires wont turn when I put it in gear. Any ideas on what is wrong? I was thinking that it could be the chain or something wrong with the wheel bearings. Anyways if anyone has any ideas of what is wrong please gimme some help.
    Thanks in advance

    Rear Brakes frozen? Were you riding in water? If so the rear brakes could have gotten water in them and froze.

    Some more info on what the bike is would help as well.

    First of all, you should have posted this in "Trikesylvania", but that's ok. You can always delete the thread and move it.

    More than likely you have water in your rear brake and chain case (If it has one). That happened to me a bunch of times when I was a kid. The water freezes up over night and the machine will not move.

    X 3 on the frozen brakes. Pull your drain plug and use a paint stripper gun or hair dryer to slowly thaw it out. Watch the heat from the paint stripper gun; you could do some damage with that if it gets too close and stays in one place.
