Aquilla dimensions

Postby Werdus » Mon Dec 02, 2013 4:54 pm

Hi all
I would like to build a trailer to transport an Aquilla trike. I need to know what the distance is between the rear wheels, as well as between the front and rear wheels.
Can anybody help me in that regard please.

I just need an approximate of the dimensions. I'll build the trailer big enough anyway to transport either a big adventure bike or a microlight trike.

So, any trike's wheelbase dimensions would be much appreciated.

You will find all dimensions in the Aquilla parts catalogues, which are downloadable from here:

Trike Undercarriage http://theblackswaninvestmentclub.com/f ... ,no's).pdf

Wing http://theblackswaninvestmentclub.com/f ... 20list.pdf

I am not sure why these files are at this 'blackswaninvestmentclub' URL but nevertheless they will give you what you need!


Cheers,

John

PS: OK, I've just checked . . . . maybe not everything you need to build a trailer. I will look further! :shock:

I've had a further scan around and can't find all the undercarriage dimensions. The best would be to email Microcrafts Africa and ask them to send you a drawing outlining the dimensions you are looking for. Their email is info@microcrafts.co.za.

If you get hold of a drawing of sorts either PM me or post it back here if small enough, as I would like to keep a copy on file as well.
