Hi Mirek,
I hadn't had big issues with mine as far as I remember. But the bike itself
was kind of a load already its 40+ kg. It also had a short and quite wide
wheelbase.

Hi Mirek,
I experimented with a trike with off-center front wheel. It was more
stable going into right corner as I can lean in. See

Left turn was okay at normal speed.

Hello fellow pythoneers,
I'm looking for someone with personal experience with a non-tilting cargo
trike, like this:
http://en.openbike.org/wiki/File:Gavin-Katts.jpg
My goal is to replace a bike+trailer combo by something equally capacious,
but faster to ride (i.e. lighter and more aero), easier to start, stop and
park.
The only problem is I have no idea what it will do in high speed turns.
Long wheelbase, centre of mass closer to the single front wheel than rear
axle, front wheel contact patch moving into the turn - everything says it
would topple easily when not loaded heavily. I can live with some
instability, the question is: would I have to slow down for every turn so
much that it offsets all the aero and weight benefits over the bike and
trailer?
Tilting front end is also an option, but I'd prefer to get along without
one if possible.
Thank you for any input.
Regards
Mirek
