  • Thanks to eBay motors for sponsoring this video ebay.com/atv-utv eBay has every part you need for every ride. This new build is based off of a 1000cc 2 Stroke 2007 Ski-Doo. We turned the snowmobile into a off road reverse trike and it is a blast. This is an off road hill climbing beast! In this video Ethan talks about how he build this off road reverse trike. A full time lapse of the build is coming soon!

      Yea very cool but they'll never mass produce a trike like this for off-road use it's just inherently too unstable... This exact build as a quad tho.. that has real potential!! Just throw a straight axle and one more bearing back there and you've got a serious Machine.. not saying its bad like it is but quads corner better than bikes ( unless the bike has a burm or rut to use which probably shouldn't count) there's no getting around it.. and a trike is, practically speaking, kind of is the worst of both worlds...here's a bad joke: a bike trike and quad ride a trail and just over a crest (little time to see it) there's a nasty rim bender of a pothole... The bike goes around, the quad straddles it but the trike... I was the guy on the trike... A reverse trike with an active leaning system definitely has potential ( vs motorcycles) on pavement but the when you start needing lots of suspension travel and you're riding on instead of in the thing there's exponentially more to go wrong...

      @@IamJoeTV snow is soft making a sled able to lean into turns... It's a lot more like riding a jet ski with rudders in the front than it is like a trike that's partly why this looks so different driving compared to a sled..( which is what brought me to the active lean thing... I mean I don't need to make the point quads are better than trikes... And so are bikes.. (I would rather ride a trike) The point was made in the late 80s when they stopped making trikes for off road use..

      @IamJoeTV Před 3 lety +2

      ian builds You got that wrong again. I live in Canada. First off riding a sled on a groomed trail vs riding in 6inches vs 5 feet of snow are all completely different. I own snowmobiles, quads, go-karts, a jet ski, a motorcycle. If you think trikes are unstable, go research a 3 wheel morgan and the racing behind it. You have a lot to learn kid.

    I am a Flatlander snowmobiler from the Midwest - been into it since 1991. I have seen a few snowmobiles with converted wheels on the front but have never seen anything this radical and cool! Will be interesting to see if that radiator does the trick to cool that 1000 cc beast (snowmobile cooling system has much more surface area + cold weather and snow dust to help out). Love the cool builds - nice job! Still want to see a rad TRACKED VEHICLE!
