Fat tire trike for handicapped

This, fat tire trike. I built for me to get out like used to and ride. I post a lot on this site with pictures of my, fat tire trike, fat tire trikes, and, fat tire trike beach cruisers, with less than warm reception. This is the first time I am talking about being handicapped. I build these and ride them cause I can no longer ride a bike. If I am going to get caught riding a trike it better look like one of these that I have built for myself. Fat tire beach cruiser, fat tire bike, fat tire trike, what ever you call my machines they are the nicest rides and get me mobile in every type of weather. So if you are going to criticize them go ahead. Like I said I have been posting here for some time with some guys very positive and others not.

Here are a few of my other, fat tire trikes, that I built for my own use. The ford hot tod one is how I get around at car shows. Fat tire trikes, or , fat tire tire trike tandems, seem to be the only cool look for a trike. Even built my favorite NHL hockey team. Fat tire trike.

Ok, lll start out by saying "its not my thing", having said that l reckon it would look cool while someone was riding it.
So it has a stereo, compressor? (For air horns), and a motor (electric).
I didnt see the beer cooler :(

Anyways, good workmanship. Now lm off to look at your other threads.

I like the creativity of your work and craftsmanship looks to be good too.

I'd wager a guess that people don't' receive your posts well because they come across as spammy. Key wording us to death. We see your user ID, the name/logo on the bikes, the sign with a guy (presumably you) sitting on top......... Dial it back a bit.

Show us a build thread. Outline the purpose, specs and how you are going to deliver. All DIY or do you outsource paint/welding/wheel building? Show them being used! Lots of show queens up there.

Sprinkle an electric motor or five and I'm surprised this thread hasn't lit up like a Christmas Tree. (or whatever holiday you choose to celebrate in the December time frame)

I like the trikes, for the most part, and checked out your website.

As others have said, it would be nice it we had some construction photos, and if those photos were all laid out properly.

I would consider commissioning a fat bike trike if I had the money, but I don't.

First, from someone who has attempted what you pulled off: nice job. Your're talented. I'd give most of my children up for the dually tandem however some of those are just not my style. I would opt for a more expedition based bike, but that's just me. I'm impressed either way!
