Awe, Be still my heart! This is the kind of Trike I am building for myself! Now being 68 and no better for wear an tear I still love scooters and alas that images of that ole' Big-Wheel still throbbing in my brain!

Back in the day Chris Ireland built a reverse vw engine and gearbox trike . Was an absolute beast . Nice to see this done again. Better balance.

Hi, I agree withe bigblockimpala this is the RIGHT way to build a VW Trike, NOT with the motor hanging out the back like it was a bit of an afterthought! Balance, handling and steering must be so much better built like this. Well done.

I just have to say, I looked through 18 pages of VW trikes and this is the only one that's build the right way. I built one like this in -95, I think, with the engine in the middle and gearbox/rear axle turned around. Anyone can take a complete a complete VW drivetrain and weld it to a MC frame, but buildin this way takes skills. It must be because we're Scandinavians? I love your Trike and miss mine..

Best looking VW by far ,it looks right so it is right.i built a VW /Sunbeam S8 years ago ,no problem at all with the cooling, BUT,the carb would ice up, so I made 2x 4inch x7/8 inlet manifolds and put on 2 amal carbs, no more problems.

@1094kate It's simple. (and genius) You just remove the diff and turn it "up side down" and then mount it on the opposite side in the rear axle.

That is exactly how they set up super vee racing cars(VW) since what the mid 50s,,,makes it a mid motor instead of rear engine... Better balance over all.... A intro level,one of many ,into formula and Indy car racing.

i really love the mid engine trikes. that things sounded like a v8, i couldnt believe it roared and idled like that. what kind of induction system do you have? is that a centralized throttle body inj? it sounds mean! i totally dig this ride.

Guess its all about personal preference. Although I appreciate the engineering in this trike, I prefer to see the engine chromed sitting out the back with a bench seat on a vw. If it's going to be a one seat trike then might as well build a trike from a bike. I am NOT slagging this off though still think it's excellent!

Far as cooling goes, you got nothin' but open air all around so that wouldn't be much of an issue. I'm wondering: did you flip the transaxle upside-down to make it work?

+steven livingston On many vw trans you pull the axles and differential out of one side and put it in from the other side and just point it forward

Por lo que se, hay que girar el diferencial, o sea, el conjunto piñon y corona, armarlo al revéz de como va en el original. Lo mismo para porsche 550 o cualquier configuración que lleve el motor invertido. Tambien nota que, en este trike, hay dos carcazas de caja de cambio.

Por lo que sé.. este motor invertido necesita girar o dar vuelta el "grupo diferencial" en la caja del vocho.. lo mismo pasa en el porsche 550 spider o tambien en la "formula V", que tienen el motor vocho central

There is a "ring" gear on one side of the transmission just inside the large round bolted plate, out of which the axles stick out. You unbolt both of these from the tranny housing, left snd right side, and switch them. So the one from the left including the ring gear, goes around to the other side and is reinstalled, and the right end plate is reinstalled on the left side. You now have the ring gear being driven by the pinion gear, (inside the transmission) on the opposite side, so instead of it being driven up (clockwise) it is now driven up, on the other side, bit counter clockwise. So the engine and tranny all rotate as originally designed, but the axle shafts turn in the opposite direction of what they used to rotate. It is the same way we convert our trannys for mid engine running in formula vees.
