| I'm just getting started on it, all this info is just what I'm expecting. I am using the components of the T-Wreck to build the trike, but replacing the lead acids with a lithium pack. The time consuming part will be the fabrication of the new bracketry, and the spot welding of my lithium pack. Check back for updates and eventually performance specs! | |
