Just thought everyone might enjoy the Delorean that Santa delivered last week. It is made of Stainless tubing, has the same wheels as Daddy's (Faisal copy), custom front pedal hub so she can "freewheel" when not pedaling and a few other tricks.

Hope everyone has a great New Year!!

Looks great! :thumbup2: That's not the kind of thing you see everyday.
Looks like it has lots of room for her too grow into it also.

EDIT: Because of the Wide rear tire, it it hard to stear? It doesn't look like you could lean it into a turn like a normal bike.

Yes, my Dad and I built it. I had the front hub made so she can pedal and then "freewheel" and mounted up a disc brake. I am currently working on the rear brake set up as well. The thing weighs 80lbs! My Daughter only weighs 36lbs...there is going to need to be some help.

Don't really know how hard it will be to turn- probably a lot like my motorcycle. ;o) Built for speed, not comfort. HAHA.

I am going to have the front end painted to match my D and a few other things painted to make it magazine worthy. And then, I have 2 more to build...phew...

Yes, I set the motorcycle record at 255mph in 5 seconds in the quarter-mile. Record still stands. Bike goes 200mph in 3 seconds...my life insurance agent loves me. :o)

That looks so awesome.
But is it easy to ride? I see she has no back support which seems to be needed for the pedal pressing.
How easy was she able to moved. Was a slight uphill slope an issue?
