I am now the proud owner of a Schwinn S4002 Meridian Adult Tricycle.
I am converting this bad boy, kind of sorta on spec, I know a guy that they want to keep mobile after his joint surgery, doc said a mobility scooter and a stationary bike, guy said they could all pound sand about the scooter, ("I am 40 bloody 2, I am NOT fat and I ain't buying a Wal Mart express") so, my name came up being old and fat and totally willing to ride a scooter.. or because I have like 10 bike builds kinda clottering up the side access to my garage. In any case, yeah. I have a budget so money is less important than just building it, and he does not want this for fun or riding, it is to get him mobile around the 50 acre lot he manages stuff on (I have never seen it, but trucks drive around and he has to do stuff out of desk every 15-20 minutes and is on "no more than 3 walkies a day" time.
In any case, the above beasty, and my ever wonderful welding god, some spare bits and he will make whatever stupidity I do a working frame.
Then I have to do all the electric bits...
I *REALLY* want to do this:
Vevor option 1 (fun)
But honestly this is probably much more safe and sane
Vevor option 2 (for the smarts)
Or I could go for safe and sane
Luna Cycles option
I have a $1200 budget, most expensive battery I would need will run me about $130 cost I got the base bike for under 150 delivered to me casa, so I have plenty of room to pay, and lets face it, if I am paid with 3 magic beans and a pack of gum, I am probably overpaid, by like 3 magic beans. Cost on the mods will be
"gimme a hundo and bring Barbecue" so I am looking at all in costs wise about 500 ish so far, inevitable power creep and the need to buy more meat will probably run about 200 more at a guess... So in the money not a problem.
Any feed back? thoughts? Extra magic beans? if I get enough it is magic Chili night.
