3 wheel drive?

[Autophysn]

I follow what your saying, and yes, in theory you do sound like it would make sense. I just think it may be a visual nightmare when done. The hydraulic thing looked cool, and would allow you to turn the wheel, I don't know. Keep it posting, I would like to see an attempt on this matter.

I will be your side-line fan cheering you on :

give you a idea

That seems like a cool way to do it but trying that on a trike would bring another possibly bigger set of problems.

That thing looks like a mechanical nightmare. Looks good nice 'n shiny in a shop, but throw some torque and mud at it, forget about it.

I agree about it being pretty cluttered. way too many chains and countershafts. I do really like the idea of how that U joint is used though.

I would like to see this done as well, sounds pretty cool, and great for the right situations!

Imo the only way to to go is a hydraulic or electric motor chain driven to the front wheel with a one way hub so it freewheels at speed or when coming out of a wheelie... gear the front wheel for like 8-10mph since it wont help at higher speeds.. I can only see it working well in nasty mud or snow.. or cresting a steep hill when standing up leaning over the bars... anywhere else and the front wheel should be up in air anyways...lol
