So how about you?

My first vehicle;
Back when I was pre teen. think I was around 12 , Built my own 3 wheeler. Was walking to a neighbor's farm to work every Saturday. Well, the neighbor was 2 miles away..
Used parts from a broken garden tiller, attached 2 motorcycle tires to the axle. had my rear end with brakes. Used a 5 hp motor and 3 speed transmission from an old wizzard lawnmower. The neighbor gave me a cushman front end. I had steering and brakes on the front. It was slow but was faster and easier than walking.

Other than a toy tricycle... lol, too funny, well done...

Have driven a 3-wheeled golf cart, probably in the early to mid-seventies, when I was in grade school. And then again in the 70's, many times an ATV was not 4-wheeled but 3-wheeled. We had a 3-wheeled, long wheel-based bench-seated one for a few years.

Jeff, you reminded me of another I guess, I did have a Honda Big Red for a year, and yes, I ran over my foot many times....View attachment 3364

Oh, I guess I have to add I made a range of prototype wooden foot-push-trikes (no peddles) for toddlers, 2F1R so they didn't push their little feet under the wheels.
Oh gosh one more, I made a full sized, fold-up, Razor-Like, push-scooter-trike for Clowns, from two-by-four technology. Gave it to a real clown for free.
Now you see about the same thing at Walmart for kids, about 1/6th the size. These didn't exist when I'd built it.

I had a trike as a kid and just recently an EV Trike 60 + years later that I use for airline travel and COSTCO. The seat pops off and It folds in less than a minute to easily fit in the back of my future Elio Trike............Trike n Trike.

It was designed by a pilot with bad knees for mobility in airports.........to fold and fit in tight storage space on board his private plane. 1/3 the cost of the basic Elio and worth every penny for anybody having mobility issues.

Real trike at 4 years old, several different 3 wheeled golf carts(not mine), 1 ATV(not mine either)which convinced me, while trying
to race it, that I should probably drive only four wheelers. Damn thing deposited me very un-ceremoniously, face first in the mud. :oops:
