The Little Warrior transforms a pair of small kids bikes into a robust and highly maneuverable tadpole style trike that can be used indoors or outdoors. The Little Warrior even includes an adjustable bottom bracket so you can adjust the trike to your young pilots as they grow or so that it can accommodate several riders with just a quick adjustment. Like all of our plans, there is always a lot of room to make your own modifications and use whatever parts you have in your junk pile, so you can create your very own custom trike. All of the plans included in this download can be made using only a welder, some basic tools, and commonly available bicycle parts.

This fun and rugged Electric Delta Trike will run all day long on a single battery charge, and can take whatever abuse your young stunt riders can throw at it. Using a motor from a small electric scooter, wheelchair, or even a windshield wiper motor, you can let your kids ride silently on pure electric power. This electric trike is stable enough to be ridden indoors, and can easily be modified into just about any configuration. Top speed and acceleration can be adjusted easily by choosing various motors or battery types as well.

Here is a chopper for the young Whipper Snappers. It’s only fair that the little ones have cool wheels, and this project can be built in a few afternoons using nothing more than a kids bike and some spare tubing. Even the smallest bike can be made into a cool custom chopper, and kids will master the bike in a hurry since the steering geometry is much the same as a regular bicycle. Garage hackers in the making...start 'em young!

The Wizard Chopper does a little black magic on an old BMX frame to create a laid back, old skool style chopper that is fun and easy to ride. The banana seat and laid back seating position makes the chopper great for wheelies - a required chopper pilot skill. This cool chop can be made using most BMX frames and some spare tubing in a single night.

The FireCracker transforms a kids bike into a cool chop that handles exactly like the original bike, making it a great beginner's chopper. By extending the frame and fork tubing, the original styling of the bike is kept intact, making it easy to convert without adding any extra components. Any bike can be used, and only a few feet of spare tubing are needed in order to convert an everyday bike into a great looking chopper.

ChopWork Orange is half art, half chopper, but all attitude! By joining together two bike frames, this project produces a chopper that can accommodate kids of all sizes without having to fight for leg room. The almost random placement of scrap bicycle tubing makes the chopper look highly engineered and complex, although it can be built in a few evenings with little effort. Any bike frame and steel tubing can be used, and the completed chopper will be easily mastered by all young bikers.

The Stinger turns a mundane frame in a a laid back easy rider that handles much like a regular bicycle. By cutting sections from the frame and reworking them at different angles, the rider is places over the rear wheel while keeping the same steering geometry. A scrap kids frame and a pair of 26 inch forks are all that is needed.

The AfterBurner takes on a 1970's chopper look, allowing the older chopper pilots to have a full set of gears and keep up to any regular bicycle. By cutting and reworking a typical mountain bike frame, the geometry is altered in order to take the smaller front wheel and keep the feel of the original bike in tact. The larger rear wheel allows for a full range of gears to be used. and the laid back seating allows for some great wheelies. just about any frame can be converted, and as always, there is a ton of room for your own personal modifications.
