There are no plans, that I know of. You just set up your drivetrain and build a frame around it.

I need some plans for the frame made out of wood as I only have a skillsaw and some framing left over from a building we demolished.

I would use the old framing members since they are well seasoned. Just be sure to bend over the old nails. Safety First!! Don't get those cheapo Chinese lag bolts to assemble it. The Mexican ones are a much better grade. Be sure to include a removable cross member for those, unexpected, oil pan failures. You can fashion one from a hinge and a barrel bolt.

You can make fun of my wood trike all you want but when we ride to the lake and I just ride into it and float along while fishing we'll see who has the last laugh.
