just found this (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Ben-10-Big-wheel-Trike-/120715234763?pt=UK_Toys_Games_Outdoor_Toys_ET&hash=item1c1b304dcb) looks like it might work...
i'l prob try making one though
you need an old golf trolley for the wheels, and a donor bike.

it doesnt need to be loads of corners but obviously it better with corners. im using a free bmx then used pneumatic wheels an tyres from a sack barrow inside some 10 inch plastic pipe, works a treat.
rossrog build one aslong as you can weld trust me you will enjoy it, plus front brake is very important.

Lol that looks a right laugh, bet there were some scuffed knees all round in the testing stages lol
Btw is your username because youre a farmer named Tom or because youre an old skool mountain biker?

spudly your very right scuffed knees an chelfed shins from tyre burns, my names a bit of both been my nick name for last 5 years lol
I can imagine as wearing shorts and moving that fast a inch or three above concrete aint gonna end well lol
Haha, did it perchance come from the old (cool as feck imo) tioga tyres then:thumb:
Which for some reason i thought were called 'Farmer Tom' damn lol
