adult sized "big wheels"

[roadmaster]

exactly that. how cool would that be?! kinda like the big one gallager rode on stage for some of his shows. do they actually make these or even the front wheel driven trikes like creepy puppet guuy rides in the saw movies but adult sized? if not, anyone got picts of a homegrown variety of such? c'mon, a custom built "big wheel" (use your imagination) complete with homemade "turbo action powerslide brake". or am i the only one? if only i had a welder. :mrgreen:

Our small town of Lakeport had a Christmas parade and of course I didn't have a camera but leading all the motorcycles was a three wheeler with different belt drives coming off the crank and the tire and wheel combo consisted of three large sprint car wheels .....way cool hopefully I will get pictures from another parade soon.

I used to know some guys who had some gravity big wheels with nice fancy brakes, but they were strictly gravity. No powertrain...

Thanks for posting that one Joker, definitely a hoot. Probably the closest thing to a full sized "big wheel" also, be interesting to find how many runs they get off the rear wheels.

what type of hubs are in those drifters.

I think Coker had those freewheel crank hubs on that Pennyfarthing type rig they built.
