Have you ever given your beloved wife a gift? I guess most of you have had. While have you ever DIY your gift? I guess most of you haven’t done that. While most of you often gift cars to your wives, Max Scott is different as the Navy veteran gifted his wife a custom-made three-wheeled motorcycle, which he built himself. Max spent eight months designing the trike after knee surgery made his wife Serenda unable to ride motorcycles. The plus point is Max managed to construct the trike using material from other motor vehicles. For example, he took material from a boat to make the driver seat. Serenda gave her input in the artwork of the front portion of the trike.
Scott was helped by his friends Glen Campbell and Don Rimley in building this trike for his wife. The back half of a dune buggy was cut off by trio and then attached to the trike in front. Rimley’s decision to help Max came as a blessing because Rimley, earlier, had done some work in modifying motorcycles. Scott and his friends faced trouble in designing the back section of the trike. They used fibre glass and gave shape to the buggy portion using an electric kitchen knife.
Seats in Max’s trike is unique as a bench seat has been fixed in the back frame. The bench is large enough to accommodate three people. Max has used some car parts as well. He has used Volkswagen Beetle’s 1641 high velocity engine. The master hydraulic controls come from an Audi.
