IT has taken me about 5yrs. to do this project. my biggest object was soon after I bought my bike with 33 miles I found the batterys were bad so I lost interest until the right battery's came along and they did (NISSIAN LEAF CELLS) AND IT RE-INGNIGHTED MY DESIRE TO COMPLETE MY PROJECT) will post photos by saturday. KEEP ON THE LOOK OUT FELLAS>

So, I suppose the VX-4 designation means that those will be "Training-Wheels" on the back, rather than a trike.
I prefer to call it my motorcycle stabilization system. funny yes.
Well it's finally done.now I will try to post some photos.
Well, THIS was one of first teaser photos you already posted ;-)
My rides:
2017 Zero S ZF6.5 11kW, erider Thunder 5kW
I have a lot of photos to show but I will give another teaser of what it looks like now.
Looks unusual, but interesting:-) Can it lean at all now? If not this thing will be highly dangerous when cornerning due to too much weight in front of the outrigger wheels....

It certainly looks dodgy to me too. Even it it had a sufficiently low and rearward CG, I would not like the handling too much. Especially staying in the seat (and any cargo staying in place) from the lateral acceleration on a hard turn.
This bike does lean just a small amount because each wheel has it's on suspension of which I will post photos later. This bike is like all the other kit's that are sold and used on HONDAS,HARLEYS. and many other motorcycles and scoters and it will take any (POSTED LEGAL SPEED LIMIT)just like cars. there are thousands of these being used all over the world and are becoming more popluer each day. also every one will get old like me somday(72 in dec. with knee and leg and back problems. so it works for me. more photos coming today of what it took to build this.
Do you carry a block of wood to stop it rolling away when it's parked, or does it have some form of parking brake fitted?
I presume the box section steel tubing is welded to a plate that simply bolts on to the swinging arm using the four main stand fixing bolts?

PLEASE DON'T ANYONE JUST BOLT SOMETHING OTHER THAN THE (2) LEGGED KICK STAND TO THESE (4) BOLTS. i JUST USED THEM TO HELP HOLD MY MAIN SUPPORT TUBING, AS YOU WILL SE LATER IN PHOTOS THE MAIN SUPPORT IS (SANDWICHED ONTO THE SWING ARM)THOSE KICK STAND BOLTS WILL NOT HOLD MUCH THEMSELF.AND I MADE A BRACKET TO MOUNT A REAR PARKING BRAKE AND IT IS CONTROLLED BY THE SIDE KICKSTAND ALL WILL SHOW UP IN PHOTOS LATER.
You know this is the best way ,when someone asks a question I can answer and show photos of just what they want to know.
I think that looks awesome. Well done!
Great job!!!!
Please show us more pics. It's a really interesting project.
The fenders and rims on the new wheels match the silver Vectrix pretty nicely!
I like the idea of the kickstand activating the parking brake. So simple!
Thanks BEN I think it's time to show a lot more photos. I will make a new topic.
x2!
