Diy tricycle. Do-it-yourself tricycle from "Ural". Three-wheeled karakat with a planetary engine Home-made three-wheeled motorcycle Ural

Watch this video short description and Test drive a 200 cc tricycle. At the bottom of the article, it is indicated where you can find many videos that tell you how to make such a tricycle with your own hands. The beginning of the story with the assembly of this cargo bike can be viewed on our website. This vehicle equipped with a 200 cc engine for 6 and a half Horse power... Four-speed gearbox from a penny linked to the engine centrifugal clutch... The gearbox contributes to the best distribution of the forces required to operate the tricycle. Since it was assembled in artisanal conditions, most of the spare parts are either used or new from a metal warehouse. Therefore, in front of the frame, the wheels are taken from Soviet mopeds.

The big advantage of this vehicle is the almost independent suspension. It is made of a rear shock absorber from an Izh motorcycle. The front part is made of silent blocks. There are two fasteners attached to the rear main rail, with the help of which the body is attached. The main source of electricity in this tricycle is the generator from the Belarus tractor.

The entire history of the tricycle assembly can be viewed on YouTube, the SEREGA channel. TV.

Homemade tricycle IZH Jupiter-5

This tricycle based on Jupiter-5 was assembled by the village “home-made craftsman” Vitaly Borovskaya. This wheel arrangement allows the motorcycle to behave steadily in complete off-road conditions, which provides a rather comfortable driving environment, in contrast to two-wheeled counterparts.

The motorcycle practically remains unchanged, only the rear wheel is sent for replacement, instead of which a gearbox with semi-axles from a cargo scooter “Ant” is installed. ...

Rear wheels and hubs from Domestic car VAZ, in the winter and snowy seasons, for better grip with the road surface, the author puts chains on the wheels, thus the tricycle's cross-country ability increases many times over.

It is advisable to install a forced air cooling, because the load on the engine with two rear wheels is slightly higher than in standard configuration... The problem of overheating of aluminum cylinders of a motorcycle engine is solved by installing an electric motor with the ability to blow air (a motor from a car stove) is connected to on-board network the tricycle and through the corrugated bells, air is supplied to the cylinder heads.

And so let's consider design features homemade tricycle assembled on the basis of the Soviet motorcycle Jupiter-5

The tricycle is stable and you can safely ride it off-road. Putting the chains on the rear wheels increases the cross-country ability.

Having settled the motorcycle in the spring snow along the semi-axles, the movement still continues, but the main thing here is not to overheat the internal combustion engine until forced cooling is installed.

The spring thaw is nothing to him.

Probably, everyone at least once in his life has seen huge three-wheeled motorcycles, on which no less huge bearded men in leather vests and iron helmets plow the open spaces. And more than once we looked at photos from motorcycle shows or exhibitions, where steel horses flaunt under the flags of their motorcycle clubs. These vehicles are called tricycles or trikes because they have three wheels instead of two.

These motorcycles are specially designed for long and comfortable trips, they have amazing spaciousness and power. The only drawback of these models is that they are rarely found on sale. And if there are any (especially if they are the brainchild of well-known brands), then their cost will be very high. What to do if you want to own such a bike, but there is no big money or purchase opportunities? The only answer is to create it yourself.

How to make a tricycle

To create a homemade trike we will use two other vehicles - a ZAZ-968 car and a heavy Ural motorcycle. As a result, you should get a very powerful and fairly reliable tricycle, on which you can conquer hundreds of kilometers.

General construction drawings

Our tricycle will be a single structure made of ZAZ-968 and "Ural". But in order to assemble one, you need to have a drawing, thanks to which you can clearly see the location of all parts and accessories.

1, 2 - front wheel and fender; 3 - suspension system front wheel; 4, 5 - headlight and headlight bracket; 6 - speedometer; 7 - gas tank; 8, 9 - lever and gearbox; 10 - battery; 11 - seat back; 12 - rear lights; 13 - air filter; 14 - engine; 15 - cooler; 16 - oil-air radiator; 17 - mufflers; 18 - rear wheel; 19 - elastic coupling; 20 - brake rod; 21 - brake pedal; 22 - beep; 23 - struts of the rear wing; 24 - shock absorbers; 25 - frame for mounting the radiator and muffler; 26, 27 - rear wing and its attachment console; 28 - front console; 29 - wing bracket; 30 - suspension arms rear wheel; 31, 32 - throttle and brake levers, respectively; 33 - ignition lock; 34, 35 - clutch pedal and clutch rod; 36 - speed switch; 37 - steering wheel.

Design features of the tricycle:

• special kerchiefs are used to strengthen all joints;
• the upper beam is a support for rear shock absorbers, therefore, glasses are welded to it, which by their design are the same as automobile ones;
• frames are welded to the kerchiefs and slopes on the central beam, which are necessary for the passenger to have footrests and at the same time act as a support for the suspension bumpers;
• the lower cross member is attached to the frame using brackets and struts, acting as a base for the pedal assemblies;
• the strut on the transverse frame mount is required to support the entire gearshift mechanism.

Features of the tricycle layout differ significantly from the standard motorcycle one. The main difference is that the power unit is located at the back and the balance is shifted back, which gives an extra reason for adrenaline - with a sharp acceleration, the motorcycle rears up.

The engine, like the gearbox, was removed from the ZAZ-968 car and no significant modifications were made to it. Only mufflers, an oil cooler from the car and an air filter have been added to the overall design of the rear of the trike. Everything else completely and completely remained the same as on the ZAZ-968. The engine mount remains the same, the gear lever is on the left (since the driver's right hand is on the throttle control). The linkage of the gearbox mechanism is connected to the gearbox through a conventional hinge, which are installed on domestic cars.

The front suspension fork works on the same principle as in the "Ural". The linkage is used and the front wheel axle is between wishbones... In general, it is necessary to change a little - it is only necessary to lengthen the borrowed front fork of the "Ural".

DIY assembly

Having a diagram and knowing the individual nuances of the process itself, we begin step by step process assembling a homemade tricycle.

The end result is a trike specifications and the appearance of which is in no way inferior to the tricycles that we have seen before.

Video clip about the tricycle IZH

In this video, you can see how a homemade trike based on the IZH Planet 5 motorcycle ultimately looks like.

Below are a few trikes with an interesting and memorable design.

Motorcycles produced back in the Soviet era are already considered a rarity. It is unlikely that he will be able to interest any of them in the quality of a vehicle. A museum exhibit, nothing more! Such equipment is sold very cheaply, a little more expensive than scrap metal. Despite the fact that the old "horse" has already served its purpose, it's time, as they say, to retire, but you don't want to part with it. Familiar situation? Often such a vehicle does not have documents, you cannot go far from home on it - trouble from the police is guaranteed.

Not everyone will think that an old motorcycle "Ural", gathering dust idle in the garage, can be turned into a practical unit. Such a homemade product from the Urals does not require huge financial investments, but a certain amount of patience and a few hours of free time will be very useful.

Homemade tricycle from the Urals

The main advantages of a tricycle based on the "Ural":

good handling;

the ability to develop a sufficiently high speed;

high power;

comfort during long trips;

roomy body for the carriage of goods weighing several hundred kilograms.

The predominant part of the component parts belongs to the motorcycle, the engine for the trike is suitable from the ZAZ-968. The most time consuming process is the manufacture of the frame. In the design, it is a kind of connecting link on which all assemblies and parts are installed.

Design features

For inexperienced designers, when assembling a tricycle, the drawing will be an excellent guide to action. It is important to think carefully about sizing.

Rear shock absorbers are mounted on the upper beam, which are similar to automobile counterparts. When driving on a road with irregularities, the shock absorbers will react sensitively to them. Glasses are welded to the beam, which provides the desired comfort. The pipes are welded to the end together with reinforcing kerchiefs - the fastening will be reliable.

Due to the fact that the power unit is installed at the rear, the center of gravity is also there. With a sharp increase in engine speed, the front wheel comes off the road, the tricycle rears up. The elimination of this effect is facilitated by placing the balance closer to the front wheel.

If the engine is slightly tired, it needs to be slightly repaired. The exhaust system in this case is home-made, and the cooling system can be chosen water or oil type.

Since the right hand is busy adjusting the "throttle", then the gear lever, of course, should be on the left side.

Assembly sequence

1. The frame is constructed according to the drawing. Everything that is made of ferrous metal must be covered with a layer of primer, and then with paint.
2. The rear axle must be in good condition... It can be removed from a Zaporozhets or Moskvich car.
3. All major components and assemblies represented by the engine, filters, exhaust system and an oil cooler are mounted on the rear axle.
4. To have free access to all parts and to ensure ease of assembly, it is recommended to use a jack or lift. The frame must provide a secure connection between the front fork, rear axle and engine.
5. When fixing the elements, backlash should not be allowed, there should be no clinking. To avoid vibrations, make the connection with lock nuts.
6. The most reliable is considered to be fastening by welding. This must be taken into account when fixing on the frame, rear axle and cross members.
7. Accession fuel tank, seats, trunk and other accessories is performed at the very end of the assembly, when the homemade trike is already on the wheels.

Homemade ATV from the Urals

Heavy motorcycles "Ural" are not very popular. One of the reasons - huge expense gasoline. Many motorcyclists and bikers are not satisfied with the large dimensions of the Urals. Despite this, craftsmen are interested in such motorcycles. Moments like having reverse gear, a rather powerful four-stroke engine is very tempting in terms of converting an old "Ural" into an ATV. As a result, its cost is much lower than that of its European congener, and the engine power is much higher. Such homemade products from the Ural motorcycle will appeal to everyone who loves to create with their own hands.

Design features

Craftsmen from the city of Barnaul got a good option homemade ATV:

1. The Ural motorcycle was taken as a basis, in particular, the frame with the engine was left.
2. Reinforced gearbox removed from another motorcycle domestic motorcycle- Dnipro.
3. The drive had to be made of a cardan type, due to the fact that the options with sprockets and chains are less reliable.
4. Two pairs of wheels fit well from the Gazelle car. Appearance at the same time, the ATV turned out to be rude, uncouth.

The engine power of a homemade ATV allows you to pull a load weighing up to 500 kg. Without load on the asphalt road, the wheels slip during the start.

The management of Russian car factories should think about the issue of producing domestic ATVs and tricycles, taking advantage of the excellent experience, for example, of the Barnaul craftsmen. Moreover, most of the components have already left the conveyors of these enterprises in due time!

Homemade Ural motorcycles can look different. In any case, this technique is impressive.

Homemade snowmobile from the Urals

Most of the craftsmen who tried to design a snowmobile with their own hands are faced with the problem of choosing light engine with high power. It is also difficult to find a track track.

Important criteria a homemade snowmobile must meet:

• I would like to simplify the scheme as much as possible so that the manufacture of the unit at home is not accompanied by difficulties. The product should be as cheap as possible, otherwise it is more profitable to buy a ready-made factory analogue.
• The inventor is accountable to customers by offering them a hazardous vehicle.
• Minimize the naming of parts that require processing on a lathe or other machine. Otherwise, the process of manufacturing the unit becomes more complicated, because in modern conditions, finding the necessary machine and a specialist who knows how to handle it is not easy.

You can use one of two motorcycle engines for homemade snowmobile: light "IZH-planet" or heavy "Ural". Empirically, you come to the conclusion that the latter option is much better.

Features of a homemade snowmobile

1. When choosing and modifying the chassis, you can use the Buran snowmobile diagram. The track system is in the form of rollers, but only one of them was needed for the homemade unit.
2. The implementation of the power train from the gearbox to the drive shaft is made possible by means of a chain.
3. In the front there are a pair of racks that are designed to have skis instead of wheels. The struts are equipped with springs from the rear shock absorbers of the Izh-Planeta motorcycle.
4. The run of the homemade snowmobile over 3 thousand km did not affect the engine's operation - there was no overheating. Traveling a distance of 90 km, the snowmobile consumes almost 10 liters of gasoline.

When the snowmobile was equipped with an Izhevsk engine, the result was much worse. Home-made from a Ural motorcycle on tracks or skis is a difficult task, but doable.

This is my second attempt to build a tricycle with my own hands. Due to the fact that my tricycle was supposed to correspond to the ideology of a classic chopper, I did it with great care.

Installed engine ZAZ-968

I must say right away that the front fork with a large angle of inclination negatively affected the handling and maneuverability of the device. This is especially noticeable at speeds over 100 km / h. In addition, at this speed, if you hit a serious pothole, there is a danger of destruction of the levers.

The machine is based on a spatial welded frame made of tubular elements. The combination of curved side members and cross beams makes the structure quite robust. The lower and upper side members are connected in pairs at the rear.

The central beam is combined with the upper spar into one unit and reinforced with a special box, and in the rear part it is connected to the side spars through struts.

Tricycle design

Vertically, the side members are interconnected by means of a lower arch and internal lugs into which the levers are installed rear suspension... All joints are reinforced with kerchiefs. The upper beam serves as a support for the rear shock absorbers, for which glasses are welded to it, the design of which is similar to automobile ones.

General design

1 - front wheel; 2 - front fender (from the Yamaha motorcycle); 3 - front wheel suspension, lever; 4 - headlight; 5 - headlight bracket; 6 - speedometer body (Steel st3, chrome plating); 7 - fuel tank; 8 - gear change lever; 9 - gearbox; 10 - battery; 11 - seat back; 12 - block rear lights; 13 - air filter; 14 - engine; 15 - fan; 16 - oil-air radiator; 17 - mufflers (from the Yamaha motorcycle); 18 - rear wheel (295x50x15); 19 - elastic coupling; 20 - brake rod (Steel X18H9T, pipe 12 × 1); 21 - brake pedal; 22 - horn; 23 - rear wing strut (Steel st3, pipe 15 × 1.5, chrome plating); 24 - shock absorber (from the ZAZ-968 car); 25 - frame for attaching mufflers and radiator (Steel Х18Н9Т, pipe 18 × 1.5); 26 - rear wing; 27 - wing mounting console (Steel st3, pipe 28 × 1.5); 28 - front console (Steel Х18Н9Т, pipe 12 × 1); 29 - wing bracket (Steel Х18Н9Т, sheet s1.5); 30 - rear wheel suspension arm (from ZAZ-968); 31 - gas handle; 32 - lever front brake; 33 - ignition lock case (St3, chrome plating); 34 - clutch pedal; 35 - clutch rod (Steel Х18Н9Т, pipe 12 × 1); 36 - gearshift mechanism; 37 - steering wheel (Steel Х18Н9Т, pipe 25 × 3)

Tubular frames are welded to the kerchiefs and struts of the central beam. These units are sheathed on both sides with steel sheet, and have several purposes. Firstly, they have passenger footpegs similar to motorcycle footboards. Secondly, they support the suspension bumpers. Thirdly, struts are attached to them, on which the rear empennage consoles are supported.

The lower cross member is attached to the frame with brackets and a brace and serves as the basis for the pedal assembly. It includes an axle, levers, stems and footrests. The crossframe support also supports the gearshift guide.

Frame design

All frame parts are made of CT3 steel. 1 - steering column; 2 - kerchiefs (sheet s5); 3 - main spar, upper (pipe 60 × 3); 4 - brace (pipe 34 × 2); 5 - reinforcing box (sheet s3); 6 - platform bracket for the battery (corner 50 × 50); 7 - upper side members (pipe 34 × 2); 8 - lower arc (pipe 34 × 2); 9 - passenger footrest frame (pipe 22 × 1.5); 10 - struts of the central beam (pipe 52 × 3); 11 - shock absorber glasses; 12 - arc of the passenger seat (pipe 28 × 1, chrome plating); 13 - lugs for fastening the levers of the rear suspension (sheet s5); 14 - shelf for fastening the checkpoint (strip 80 × 5); 15 - gusset plate for installing the hinge of the gear lever (sheet s3); 16 - outlets for mounting pedals (pipe 28 × 2, chrome plating); 17 - pedal lever (sheet s5, 2 pcs., Chrome plating); 18 - main spars, lower (pipe 34 × 2); 19 - horn mounting bracket (corner 50 × 50); 20 - central beam (pipe 60 × 3); 21 - upper beam (pipe 52 × 3); 22 - engine mounting unit (sheet s5); 23 - jumper (corner 50 × 50); 24 - frame sewing (sheet s3 on both sides); 25 - footboard (Х18Н9Т, pipe 36 × 4); 26 - axis (X18H9T, bar 028); 27 - plug (X18H9T); 28 - bracket (sheet s3); 29 - lower cross member (pipe 34 × 2); 30 - guide of the shank of the gear shifting mechanism (pipe 28 × 1.5); 31 - base of the passenger seat (tube 20 × 1, chrome plating)

The layout of a homemade tricycle differs significantly from a motorcycle one, primarily in its location power unit... It is located outside the base behind the rear axle, which does not in the best way affect the stability of the car, but it provides an experienced driver with an additional opportunity to generate adrenaline. With a sharp acceleration, the tricycle can be easily “reared up”, which delivers an unforgettable experience.

Engine

The power unit, including the gearbox, was taken from the Zaporozhets car. No special modifications were made. It is worth noting only the installation of an oil cooler from the helicopter, the manufacture of a chrome-plated body air filter and mufflers from "Honda", and a separate one is installed for each cylinder.

All other units are from ZAZ-968. The mount of the power unit also has not undergone any changes. The two attachment points are located at the corners of the arch, which is where the upper beam and the side members join. The third is located between the lower side members flush with the front of the gearbox. The shift lever is on the left as the driver's right hand is busy controlling the throttle. The rod of the gearshift mechanism is connected to the box shank through a hinge similar to the Zhiguli one.

Suspension

The front wheel suspension design deserves a separate description. It is made according to a lever scheme, which is quite rare. The suspension consists of two pairs of consoles and two pairs of springs. The consoles are made of titanium and are interconnected by wishbones. The front wheel axle runs through the wishbones.

Suspension scheme

1 and 11 - thrust cones (Steel Kh18N9T); 2 - special nut М12 (Steel Х18Н9Т); 3 - main traverse, upper (AK4); 4 - main console (VTZ-1, bar 40); 5 - main traverse, lower (AK4); 6 - transverse lever (X18H9T, sheet s10); 7 - lower traverse (AK4); 8 - movable console (VTZ-1, bar 28); 9 - upper traverse (AK4); 10, 15, 18 - bushings (Steel Х18Н9Т); 12, 13, 16, 17 - compression springs; 14 - thrust washers; 19 - nut М12; 20 - spherical support; 21 - stock (Х18Н9Т); 22 - axis (bolt M12); 23 - bushings (bronze); 24 - nut with a spherical head

The springs are used from the IZH motorcycle and helicopter units. The suspension works in such a way that the upward movement of the wheel is compensated by the lower springs, and when moving in the opposite direction, the upper springs, which have a significantly lower rigidity, enter into action.

The battery is installed behind the driver's seat on a special frame above the engine. Mounts are also mounted here. passenger seat, on which with the help of lacing are hung leather trunks... The latter not only serve to transport things, but also cover the engine, and most importantly, give the car a complete "chopper" look.

Exhaust system

The gas tank, steering wheel, instrument cluster and front suspension are made in the same style. The rear wing consists of two interconnected wings from the Ural motorcycle. Like the gas tank, the rear fenders are painted black.

Then the surface is properly prepared, and a drawing with cosmic images performed by a professional artist is applied to it by the method of airbrushing. The last stage of finishing was the application of several coats of clear varnish and polishing.

The design of this homemade swamp vehicle is so simple that almost any car enthusiast can repeat it in his own garage. The basis of the swamp rover is the IZH Planet 3 motorcycle. Motorcycles Izh Planeta often become donors in all-terrain home-made products, this is primarily due to the endurance and unpretentiousness of their engines.

The main feature of this self-made swamp-going vehicle is that during its design, turning work is minimized. They had to turn to the turner only once so that they cut out a seat on a 50 tooth sprocket in order to fit it on the differential of the Moskvich bridge.

Swampwalker bridge

The bridge was taken from a Muscovite and modernized. The bearing fasteners from the doll are cut out with a grinder, then the drag arc is welded to the bridge stocking (if it is not welded, the stocking will be re-cut when you cut it in half), then the stocking itself is cut in order to fix the sprocket. The chain tensioner is also borrowed from the combine.

Swamp Vehicle Wheels

KF-97 cameras are used from the agricultural trailer of the T-150 tractor. The tire for such a chamber wheel is the same chamber, only cut along a smaller diameter. First, the "tire" is put on, then it is pulled over with belts. The transverse harness belts turned out to be 1.02 m long, and the longitudinal strip was 3.5 m long. The width of the longitudinal strip is 30 centimeters. Cross belts with a longitudinal strip are bolted together.

Swamp rover discs

The disks from the cornfield were taken as a basis, cut in half with a small grinder and lengthened by 30 centimeters with steel plates welded between the halves of the disks (6 plates in total). The disk is covered with a camera from a VAZ car, cut along a larger diameter. Since the disks were used from Niva, and the axle was from a Muscovite, the rear disks had to be cut at the attachment points.

Frame, brakes and gear

The motorcycle frame is lengthened and reinforced. So that the pendulum fork does not "go", it was welded. The chain and stars are borrowed from the combine. Their ratio is 2 to 1. Small star with 25 teeth, it is attached to the drum with eight hardened bolts of 10. Large star with 50 teeth. Brake system the swamp rover is no different from any other, so the brakes are left unchanged. But the drum has been upgraded for sprocket mounts.

Fork

The length of the fork stays of this bogie is 800mm, while its width is approximately 700mm. The front wheel axle is used from a donor - motorcycle IZH. On one side, a 500mm long extension pipe is welded to the axle. This pipe is inserted into a modernized Izhevsk drum screwed to the wheel. On the other hand, the axle is screwed into the same mount as on the forks. The mount was cut off from the shock absorber and welded to the feather (it is not visible in the photo as it is inserted into the pipe and welded).

The fork is attached to the handlebars of the swamp rover quite simply. 2 pipes are inserted into the shock absorber mount.

All-terrain vehicle engine

The engine from the IZH-Planet 3 motorcycle with forced air cooling from the SZD motorized carriage (popularly "Invalidka"). The crankshaft is native - planetary, not "SZDshny", since the seat for the generator at the "SZD" does not fit (it is more), and the ignition coil Izh 6v is on the swamp rover.

Tricycle body
