Add motor. This has a shock at the back. Someone near by has one with a solar panel on top like the Elf. He is coming to me for drive options. We are considering a mid-drive or hub.
Please be realistic about the safe operating envelope for such a contraption.

I used one of Sid Gowdy's trikes for years. It did need modifications to corner well but I got up to V 5.0 over a period of 5 years befire I decided on store bought. It is easy to modify and can be lowered and re-suspended to get lower stance. Chalo is right and Sid does not recommend it for over 15 MPH. My "Adjusted" and re -engineered version could corner at over 20 mph and not come close to going over on smooth ground. I had a Bafang rear motor and about 54 volts at the time. Nowdays I prefer the slower lane and bike trails. The Americruiser is still a very good deal for the money if you are interested in "adjusting" kit bikes to go faster etc. I even was gunna use my old cross country skis to make a front suspension, but one accident too many made me go to the stores for more regular trikes and slower speeds.
