Messing around in my garage, wouldnt these be cool? Everything would be pretty easy but putting a sproket on the rear... Also pedal clearance....

Good idea... then you dont have to worry about petal clearance, just put some fat pegs where the crank would go...

I wanna build one with aarms and such, buy a old quad roller and go from there..

Allways wanted to for some reason :devil:


Take and wheld the wheels to the axle, then weld a sprocket to the axle, fab the frame so it will move then use a crank off a 16inch bike.

your forgetting how heavy that thing would be, if you tried to take a quad roller and make it a pedal bike.......think about how heavy it would be

Yea a roller quad would be quite heavy.... I know it can be done with a plane bike frame....

Those 3 wheeler bicycles are awesome, I use to have one!

that would be cool to have like a exc70 sized (or a lil bigger) quad, but instead of a motot, have the front sprocket connect to a carrier, and have pedals

now that would be cool

hey who said it had to be light! if you got the gearing right it wouldnt matter, even if you took a bike frame and put a quad frontend/swinger on it.

then if you can, put the quad front brakes on it, can you say stoppies? :devil:

That Bike looks like it would be hard to Steer, Like it would come up on three wheels when you try to turn
