Welcome
to Frankentrikes!
I build electric-assist
front loading
cargo trikes and rickshaws. I can build one for you.
Keep checking back for updates or get on the
Frankentrikes
Announce List.
We need your help!
Our principal funding source dried up in the economic
downturn of 2008. Frankentrikes is currently on hold until a new
funding source can be located. We are no longer building single custom
vehicles. Our goal is to raise $20,000 to build a hybrid
electric cargo-shaw prototype for testing. This vehicle has
already been designed and only lacks the funding to become real.
This final model will be reworked until we can go into small
scale manufacturing of lots of 3-5 at a time. See more
details below.

GENIUS NEEDED FOR TINY PROJECT: if you know how to do web
pages,
I actually get a lot of hits to this website and I've been trying to
get a counter on the page for over a year now. It is
installed,
but it doesn't work. I don't know why...

While
this product is still evolving, we welcome your
inspiration,
input and support. We are currently interviewing for partner
investors
and/or partner developer-builders who would like to become deeply
involved in the growth of this enterprise. We
would still like to take this project to the
mass manufacturing
level for the
health and well-being of our country, people, and planet.

This
enterprise is still young, and growing a manufacturing operation is
very
resource- and capital-intensive. If you would like to see
this social enterprise succeed...
