Three Wheel Kit Car

  The AERO TRIKE is a Kit Car  designed and built by the M W Bourne Co. of Marquez Texas. 
The AERO TRIKE is a 3-wheel car that can be built by the average craftsman using hand-tools and the light electrical tools found in the typical home workshop. 

 

The AERO TRIKE is powered by a doner motorcycle that is provided by the builder.  A suitable power-unit  would be any of the large "road cruiser bikes" of 1000 cc and larger marketed in America over the past 20 years. 

An ideal source for these power-trains is the salvage market.  Many of these motorcycles have received damage  to their front end without damage to their motor, transmission, rear wheel, or rear suspension. 

This power-unit should be properly aligned and grafted into the empty engine bay of the AERO TRIKE.

WELDING IS REQUIRED. 

Your AERO TRIKE project is not a quicky snap-together job.  It is a serious commitment to build a safe and beautiful little touring car that will serve you with pride and enjoyment for years to come.

Your motorcycle power-train, engine, rear wheel, rear suspension,  electrical system, fuel system.

The windshield is a 'simple' curve cut from a flat piece of Lexan.  No heating required. 

Also not provided are the foot pedals.   Foot pedals are selected by the builder and depend on the design function between the power-unit and the driver.  A wide variety foot pedal arrangements  are found on the aftermarket and are offered by custom car builders, hot-rod builders, and race car designers.

Your AERO TRIKE chassis has been carefully designed and built in a custom jig. It comes acid-brushed and ready for mounting to your chosen power-unit.   After your engine mount has been welded into position, the foot pedals are positioned and welded into place.  

After all tack-welding has been completed it should be acid-brushed, cleaned, and primed for paint.

It is advised that your rolling chassis be road tested and corrections made before the fiberglass body is installed.

Cost of my kit is $ 6,500
