Shop Trike Frames & Kits

A frame is the foundation of a trike build. The correct frame needs to work with the intended engine, axle, wheels, drivetrain, brakes, controls, seating position, and overall dimensions.

Depending on availability, our selection may include:

Mini trike frames
Motorized trike frames
Custom trike frames
Gas trike frames
Drift trike frames
Three-wheel vehicle frames
Trike frame kits
Rolling chassis components
Frame brackets and mounts
Engine mounting components
Custom-fabricated frame components

Specifications vary by individual frame or kit, so always confirm the dimensions and intended configuration before ordering.

Mini Trike Frames

A mini trike frame provides the foundation for building a compact three-wheel motorized vehicle.

Mini trike frames can be used for projects involving:

Gas-powered mini trikes
212cc mini trikes
Custom mini trikes
Mini trike motorcycles
Recreational three-wheel builds
Custom fabrication projects

Frame dimensions, engine mounting points, axle configuration, wheel clearance, seating position, and other specifications must be matched to the components being used.

Custom Trike Frames

For customers who don’t want a standard configuration, a custom trike frame can provide greater flexibility.

Custom frame requirements may include:

Overall length
Frame width
Height
Seat position
Wheel placement
Engine location
Axle position
Wheel clearance
Mounting points
Frame styling
Custom brackets
Other fabrication requirements

Custom fabrication is subject to project requirements and feasibility.

If you already have a design, measurements, drawings, or photos of the style you want, provide those details when requesting a custom frame.

Trike Kits for DIY Builds

A trike kit can be useful for customers who want to complete more of the assembly themselves.

Depending on the specific kit, components may include some combination of:

Frame components
Axle components
Wheels
Tires
Hubs
Engine mounting hardware
Drivetrain components
Brake components
Steering components
Throttle components
Required mounting hardware

Kit contents vary by product. Do not assume that every listed component is included with every kit. Review the individual product specifications before purchasing.

212cc Trike Frames & Kits

212cc engines are commonly used in compact gas-powered builds, including mini trikes and other recreational projects.

A frame or kit intended for a 212cc configuration should be checked for:

Engine mounting compatibility
Available engine clearance
Chain or drivetrain alignment
Axle configuration
Brake setup
Wheel clearance
Intended rider/load requirements
Overall frame dimensions

A frame being physically large enough for an engine does not automatically mean every component will be compatible.

Drift Trike Frames & Kits

Customers building a drift-oriented three-wheel machine may need a frame designed around the intended rear-wheel, axle, wheel, drivetrain, and braking configuration.

Depending on the project, drift trike frame requirements may include:

Reinforced frame construction
Appropriate rear axle mounting
Wheel clearance
Engine mounting provisions
Drivetrain alignment
Seat mounting
Brake mounting
Custom wheel and tire configuration

Drift-oriented builds should be operated only in appropriate controlled environments and in accordance with applicable laws and safety requirements.

What Can Be Customized?

For applicable custom frames and fabrication projects, customers may be able to request changes to:

Frame Dimensions

Specify preferred length, width, height, and general proportions.

Engine Placement

The frame can be planned around the intended engine configuration when the project requirements are provided in advance.

Seating Position

The seat location and overall riding position can be discussed during the design stage.

Wheel & Axle Configuration

Frame design can take wheel, tire, hub, and axle requirements into consideration.

Mounting Points

Custom mounting locations may be possible depending on the fabrication requirements.

Appearance

Frame shape and styling can be adjusted for applicable custom projects.

Color

For applicable finished components and fabricated builds, standard color choices may include:

Additional colors may be possible when requested and confirmed before shipping.

Choose a Frame or Request a Custom Build

There are two ways to approach your project.

Option 1: Start With a Standard Frame or Kit

Choose an available frame or kit and build your project around its specifications.

This can be useful when you already know which engine, wheels, axle, brakes, and other components you intend to use.

Option 2: Start With Your Design

If you already know what you want your finished trike to look like, ask about a custom frame or complete custom fabrication project.

Provide:

Desired dimensions
Engine information
Wheel and tire specifications
Axle requirements
Seating requirements
Brake requirements
Intended riding application
Photos or drawings
Preferred color
Other design requirements

The more information provided, the easier it is to determine what type of frame or build is appropriate.

Trike Frame vs. Complete Custom Trike

A frame or kit is different from a completed trike.

Frame / Kit	Complete Custom Trike
Starting point for a project	Completed build
Customer may assemble components	Build is fabricated for the customer
Components vary by kit	Configuration is planned as a complete vehicle
Useful for DIY builders	Useful for customers wanting a finished project
More responsibility for component compatibility	Build requirements are reviewed together

If you want to handle the assembly yourself, a frame or kit may be the appropriate starting point.

If you want us to design and fabricate the complete machine, explore our Full Build Custom Trikes service.

Important Compatibility Information
