Simon_CH Posted November 10, 2014 at 07:19 AM Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 at 07:19 AM Dear all I know winter is coming and few people think about the great outdoors or camping right now, but even then, I need a little pet project to keep me occupied and that's something I've been thinking about for a while: I want to buy one of these ubiquitous transporter tricycles and with a bit of DIY transform it into a practical, tiny camping vehicle with all you need to drive out of the city for a weekend. Now I like to start small with a very basic, preferably cheap and old tricycle to mess with, but have no idea where to find one. All ideas, suggestions are very welcome. Basically I'm looking for a (more basic) version of this: http://cqzonglong.en.alibaba.com/product/240723954-200237494/Chinese_250cc_Motor_Tricycle.html http://www.machsources.com/productimages/12101/150cc-tricycle.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XuanWu Posted November 11, 2014 at 03:35 PM Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 at 03:35 PM the only advice i can give you is buy one with a 4 stroke engine and water cooled. For long distances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon_CH Posted November 12, 2014 at 01:39 AM Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 at 01:39 AM Agreed XuanWu, though from my memory the ones I'm thinking about are all 4 strokes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted January 23, 2015 at 11:07 AM Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 at 11:07 AM This deserves a bump - did you get anywhere with this very cool project? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon_CH Posted January 24, 2015 at 07:01 PM Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 at 07:01 PM Hey roddy, I've moved to Europe for work reasons a couple of weeks ago. Will be back in Beijing in summer and will see what I can do then. I haven't given up on it, would still love to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
