iv been thinking of building a hub steer trike but cant find out very much to kick me off with inspiration or a small cheat in thinking on how it works,, this will more than likely be my last trike build as moving on to hot rods after this, but iv got to build this first as  its a bucket list trike lol.. Undecided is there any one that's done one seen one or no how to do it and  put some pointers my way thanks  for the help.. Smiley

I'd start by looking at the front radius arm, stub axle, hub and suspension layout of a Reliant three wheeler.
Most of it looks fairly ugly and is for a small front wheel, but there is no reason why you shouldn't use the basic design and parts from it.
Attaching a radius arm to a twin down tube frame would not be difficult. Working out good looking suspension and steering may be harder.
