Here is my trike I made for my buddys little boy. It was a way for me to learn how to weld. We cut it all up, peiced it back together,welded it, took a grinder to it, and painted it. it started as a radio flyer we dug out of a trash can.
we lowered it 4", streched it 3.5" and put like a 50drgree rake on it....

Can the kid even reach the pedals? It doesn't look like it. Make it adjustable size so the kid can grow with it. Wouldn't take much. Just cut it in half right in the middle and drill 3-4 holes into each side. Then get a sturdy pipe that fits inside the frame, drill holes in it and use a couple bolts to adjust it. That's what I'd do anyway.

Well the trike is now in Nebraksa so we made it on a last minute thing. His dad is now in Iraq...he left a couple of weeks ago. I just wanted Caleb (the little boy) to be able to take it with him. He'll be able to ride it in a few months. Until then...he's satisfied to just pushing it around and climbing onto it all by himself. Making it adjustable is a really good idea though.
