Hi
One of my Pythons is on eBay at present:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/recumbent-bicycle-/221301006533#ht_386wt_1170 The
auction closes on 29 October. Apologies if you get this or similar message
three times. I seem to be having trouble with my list registration.
Cheers
Mark

Vi: Im sure, you are right about the upright position. It is true for all bikes
I think. On my Toxy CR there is a big difference when the seat is lovered.
"Standing" is superior to "lying" when it comes to maneuver and learning.
"Lying" is superior in speed.

Hi Tiha,
It seems that upright sitting position and "normal" handlebar help a lot.
Other negative-trail bikes seem easy to learn also,

Perhaps a more upright python may be easier to learn. Seat angle can be
lowered with more experience. Not sure if handlebar would help learning
python, gloves and sticks do. Handlebar on python seems to be good for fine
control at high speed, beyond what the legs can do...

One more detail: I contacted the creator of the Izzy on FB and asked
about handling. This is what he told me:
The bike is very easy to ride and manoeuvrable but it takes a few
minutes to get use to it. This is because, just like you've noticed, caused by
the wire. It's a bit like learing to ride a bike again , once you get the hang
of it, it's all smooth sailing from there!
End of quote.
Learning to ride the Python definitely takes longer than a few minutes.
So it would be really interesting to try this ride-by-wire approach on a Python.

What about using pulleys and rope(cable) anchored to pulleys so they
wouldn't rely on friction?

Hi Vi [haɪ̯fɪ
<http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_IPA-Zeichen> ] ;o),
but friction isn't a conastant ratio, and the angle the
steering bar has for a certain steering angle will change every time. maybe the
steering bar is sometimes allready like full conrering, but you're still going
straight. The clamped pullies prevent such situations as long as they don't
brake.

Hi Steffen,
Friction steering should be similar to the Izzy's pulley design
in a sense that input angle is greater output angle due to slippage. However,
the "ratio" depends on the input force / slippage. It would be cool if speed
sensitive steering is achievable with python. Will report back after more
experimentation. Here is the handlebar set up I am using,
