OT: help building robots

I already got the tricycle frame going. The issue I'm trying to weld a
steel chainring to the electric motor, but its not the same as the one on
the 50cc motor. I also have to cut and re-weld the frame, drop in the
battery, lay down the wiring harness, weld sheet metal for the box, mount
the gas engine, and weld he disc tabs.

After that I gotta start roboticising it.

I've heard the "fat bike" thing is catching on - but had no idea it had
gone that far.

Will it rip Magnas apart and breath fire?
Check the aircraft salvage yard.

So I'm Building a robotic gas/electric hybrid cargo tricycle out of downhill bike parts for grad school, I'm also teaching a "first robotics competition" high school robotics team. I've run out of cash and am trying to sell some cross bikes, I also have a tandem kayak and a tandem bike for sale.

does anyone have spare for trade or free:
steel/aluminum tubing/sheets
bike chains/gears/cables/housing
26" wide bike tires
nuts, bolts, bearings,
electrical components / lights / cameras
death rays
