    Default Wheelchair Rack

    I've finally gotten my wheelchair rack constructed! It hasn't been powder coated yet, so it looks a little rough, but it works fantastic and leaves room for a passenger.

    Looks great. I did notice in one picture of the rear support bracket. You welded to the end of the axle. That is OK the part I'm worried about. There is no support gusset from the horizontal axle bar to the vertical tube. That is the #1 load carrying point. There is one just below going out to the chair frame.
    I'm not an engineer. But I have been welding for over 40yrs. A 1-1/2" gusset welded there. If for anything else. Piece of mine. I would check with the designer before you send it to be power coated.

    Default wheelchair Carrier

    Hi Roho

    This is my W/C carrier and I have it much closer to the Spyder and attached to a Givi frame. It is hooked onto the push rims and bracket on the front as you will see in the movie.
    If you have time lookm up 3wheels.org and you will see a few more trikes

    How is your wheelchair rack working out? I am still trying to figure out one that would work for me.

    That's great, congratulations! How much does the rack weigh?
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely
    in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways,
    body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming
