ELECTRIFY YOUR CATRIKE WITH OUR MOTOR UPGRADE OPTIONS


 Monster Woof-mobile

 

This completely custom quad features 4-wheel drive, 4-wheel steering, full suspension, electric motor assist and more.


The Clown Shoe Rims are laced to custom hubs that we made specifically for this quad to utilize all 64 spokes.


The Woofmobile is driven by the Woofdriver himself with his dogs attached to these custom springer attachments.




The springer position is adjustable.



The front steering is adjustable for arm length and height.


The front control panel. The throttle and shifter for the front Patterson drive are mounted here. The Cycle Analyst display on the top shows speed and monitors battery level and motor performance. The joystick is used to control the rear servo-actuated steering.



All four wheels get power through a custom axle system. We built a floating axle to provide suspension and house the differentials.


The front steering uses rack and pinion to move the tierods.


This amazing motor provides 9000 Watts to the drivetrain.


There are four Rockshox Monarch Air Shocks on this beast.


We used two auto-shifting Nuvinci transmission to handle the power of our motor and the two pedalers.


We used a trailing arm system to achieve the travel and suspension geometry that we wanted.


The blue box with fins is our 12V converter. It takes the 48V from the batteries and turns it to 12V for the servo below it. We also used the 12V to run the ground effect lights!






The Woofmobile uses two of our new modular seats. the seats are adjustable and super comfortable.







The motor features a belt drive reduction. We found the motor to still be too fast so added further reduction for more low-speed torque.


There is a lot of chain on this beast. Even though there are two transmissions we linked them together so that the motor or one pedaler can power the whole machine.




because of the size of the machine and the wheels, four-wheel steering became a necessity to be able to maneuver it. The four-wheel steering was the hardest thing to figure out. We tried several different implementations and finally settled on using a computer-controlled servo for the rear wheel steering.










The front steering was also a challenge. The large wheels made any kind of lever actuated controls impossible to get in the right position. We initially decided on another servo for the front steering, but decided that for safety reasons (in case the battery died) we needed a manual setup. This custom geared pivot made it possible. The lower shaft connects to the rack and pinion system, while the upper shaft connects to the steering wheel and can be articulated as needed.
