Re: jolly rancher trike

hey corn,

your trike is amazing, very inspirational build---keep on keeping on.

i was in the process of doing a similar stereo setup for my current project, i saw that amp and a few others that might work on amazon. what power supply are you running? i was thinking of converting a rechargable 12V supply from a motorized kid rideable toy or maybe get a marine battery.

thanks,
Dave

Re: jolly rancher trike

Thanks peeps. Almost done.

Hey Dave,
Check ebay under electronics and search mini amp. These work great and are really light weight. Bet the minimum. I got mine for about 15 bucks. They come from china and take about three weeks. But they have treble and bass controls. Which I like. The one for my trike also has a subwoofer control. Wooo hooo.
Currently I am using a 12v 7amp lead acid battery. Very heavy, almost 6 pounds. I get about 8 hours of battery life out of a charge.
But, they came out with a Life Po 12v battery that weighs 2.2 pounds to replace the SLAs.
When my SLA dies, I am going to convert. Thanks for your interest in my build. Hope this helps.

This is an amp I used for my two wheeler. I've had it for about 2 years and still works great.

Re: jolly rancher trike

thanks corn, your info absolutely helps!
i was trying to have a converted power source from a rechargable battery supply but it seems to much hassle for what its worth---i will def look into the LSA-type power source.

cant wait to see the final trike pix...

Re: jolly rancher trike

looks sweet from here. Bet it looks better in person, that color is awesome. Some pinstripe would set that thing off like a rocket.

Jolly Rancher stage 1 is done. Finally got a sunny day to take some pics.
It's a fun ride. Very heavy though. Not good for hills. Luckily I have only one to contend with.
Electrify? Might have to.

Made an animated video of the trike build from beginning to end. You'll be able to hear the stereo which was recorded on a digital camera.
Enjoy and pass it on.
Thanks
