Can't see Exactly, but I'm thinking the rear tire is still there and driving it. The gizmo on the brace, looks kinda like a pump of sorts, now, laugh if you have to, but, IF the rear wheels are really just outriggers with brakes, and some way cool wheels,by the way, very nice setup,
But, can you jack them up and let the bike lean into a corner some?
I see switches and gizmos,, Just how tricked out is that thing?
The master cylinder for the rear is a given..
I admit, I've never been a big fan of trikes or sidebars, but I'm digging that one.

Wow, I just had an idea,

Brilliant! No rear tire that I can see...i think that black thinghy you see is the transaxle. Looks way too far away from the rear fender to be a drive tire....unless he wet down to like a 14" wheel.

I did see and consider the backrest, I'm on a kindle, pictures are small, and, I'm gonna go with you on it.. I kinda thought so, but, I was hoping for a more extreme bit of gizmology. And, yes that's brilliant, concept and parts sourcing, is that a kit or is that a backrest, modified to slide on rails with a screw drive?
I'm in the process of repurposing the motor from a hospital bed and a mAnual jack screw from the same bed to build a hoist to lift a camper shell for a friend.

The stock Suzuki drive belt and rear pulley was used. Each rear wheel has a brake disc and caliper.

Hi Justin This is a true trike. I am 72 years old and badly crippled so I had to build this trike just for me. The switches you see control the backrest and trunk so I can get on and off. The passenger floorboards are also so I can get on. There is also a master switch you can't see to control the 18 amp. aux. System. Another mod. just for me is the left floorboard it is mounted on a Pivot and to shift I just rock the floorboard. These bikes makes a fine light trike.

Sir, you're seventy two. Still out, riding. I'm happy for you, impressed by you. If you built that, well. I build stuff, and I know what it takes to make something work, and what it takes to make it work, and look good. That is a treasure, to anyone who understands what it takes to build something. Very cleverly done.
What did you do when you were making a living every day? I see electrical, welding, design, several Trades are represented.
Master Gizmologist.
Is there a write up on here somewhere?
The rear end design has just gotta be something, using the belt and pulley,

I've sure looked at the axle on the back of the wifes all wheel drive Rogue. Driveline in is about like my thumb.. I've got a Kawasaki W650,, and I been thinking...

ETA

Eighteen Amp, I didn't think our electrical system would support that kinda draw. You got a battery in one of those saddlebags?
Point the speakers back, kick it in neutral, turn it up to 11 and cruise?
