This Kustom KMX allows three people to ride together and also features motor assist.
This three-passenger cycle has adustable seats, booms, and handlebars so it will fit a wide range of riders.
While primary power will come from the riders, this vehicle is also powered by the EcoSpeed middrive system. At the rear there are two 48V batteries.
Each 24-inch rear wheel sports a Shimano Alfine transmission and Avid BB7 disc brakes.
In addition to the two Alfine transmissions, each rider has their own 2-speed Patterson Drive.
The Patterson Drive features a 28-45T equivalent gearing. It can be shifted while pedaling, stopped, or coasting.
All four wheels have Avid BB7 disc brakes. The captain has all brake controls.
The Throttle is mounted on the left hand for easy thumb actuation. All shifters are custom JTek bar ends.
All idlers are TerraCycle Sport idlers.
The custom EcoSpeed 1000W motor system is a thing of beauty. This system is connected in front of the jackshaft and transmissions, so it is capable of moving all three riders during any needed brakes.
The jackshaft setup allows all three riders to pedal independently or even take a break. The EcoSpeed motor also drives the jackshaft.
The jackhaft is supported by seven ball bearings.
Both batteries are mounted on sleds and can be easily removed.
Share your comments below: This thing looks like too much fun! It also looks like a lot of work went into it. You guys are RAD! Of course, I'd have to put a fairing around it and start my own Kommuting taxi Kab :-) Posted by pedalcarpusher 01/06/2012 09:19:51 AM WOW!!!! Posted by trikemann 01/06/2012 09:53:22 AM Looks like fun. With 4 wheels is it street legal? I know 3 wheels is the limit for a bike in some states Posted by Keith 01/06/2012 10:02:51 AM The next phase of construction will be to fit the vehicle with a streamlined body to cut down on drag...
