Build a DIY Electric Powered Reverse Tilting Trike

In this video you see me building an electric reverse tilting trike scooter. It is powered by 2 hoverboard motors bolted to the rear wheel.

It has front and rear suspension, and can lean in the corners. I used the front suspension from an ATV that I modified. It drives well but it’s a little underpowered for the weight.

The hoverboard motors are only 350w each, and are powered by a 36v lithium battery. The motors are controlled by 2 BLDC 350w controllers.

The front wheels are from an ATV, rear wheel is from a lawnmower. The frame is built out of 25mm tubing (2mm wall thickness).
