Hi, Bernard, Dirk, and Paul
in my green python the center pivot is in line with the wheel axles and it
works pretty good, yet I want to compare it to Jürgen´s python, once we
will meet on a lonely road changing our bikes.
To drive a python backwards I can not imagine. There exists a page in
the net, where lean steered drive has been tried, but without much
success. With three wheels this is possible.
I agree with Dirk´s explanation, the trailer force of the legs keeps the
python in line.
Hi Paul, I want you to encourage to build a 20 '' python. Take it as a
prototype, as I did with my first python. A long leverarm with the feet is
advantage I believe.
So today I did the next 20 km training on my green python, and I love it
and I am very happy. I don´t use the scaterollers any more. I managed
to start without them. The start is the most difficult, and it is easier
when the road goes a little bit downhill. Uphill starting does not yet
work. The arms I use for balance (and feeling the grass passing the
hands) :-).
I found out that when the snake is going suddenly to the left I have to
lean even more to the left side, this stabilizes the beast. This feels like
falling down now completely, but the opposite happens. The same I
have to do in curves.
Very new movements and I begin to love them.
Greetings Jürgen from Giebelstadt
