Next project found. I wasnt going to do another one until next winter but cant pass this up.

Going 48v, 1000w geared hub for torque, 2-up seat, some custom "bodywork" to replace that silly basket and General Lee bright orange.

Gotta make some room for it, then tear it apart and Kim is gonna lynch me when I turn the bathtub into a giant hydrolases tank to de-rust the parts. (No, I am not going to electrify the entire buildings piping. I'll be nice and put a rubbermaid tote in the tub Could be fun, though )

Still trying to figure out exactly what it is. That square section by the diff looks like a 1970's Villager, but they dont have the upper frame brace tube. Be nice to know the design load capacity instead of just guessing. Some of those trikes will handle 500# no problem, others will fold if you try that.
