Merci Laurent,

wheelbase: 114,5

isn´t this a little bit short for your size? I guess that you
are at least 185 cm tall.
i have my back close from rear wheel 3 or 4 cm ... no suspended fork but it's posible this short wheelbase make the bike nervous too


weight:13kg

Bravo, this is really a light one!
There is no suspended fork , no stand, and a "p4 like" pivo... only the seet is a good light constrution in 5mm plywood and epoxy glue
weight with pilot: 88kg, 51kg on front wheel, 37kg on rear
wheel mean cg 48cm back on front axle

I will get data from P1 and P3 as soon as possible.
I realy want to understand why p1 can go faster than p3

Have you the same tires on p1 and p3 ? i think at high speed the giroscopique effect come realy important, my light tires not helps i think... i have to test with biger tires
Pivot Angle [°] : 69°
Trail: -30
until around 35/40 km/h after, the bike become to "nervous" and i can
stay on...at this "high" speed the quickness of reaction the bike have
is out of proportion with my quickness and my precision of my mouvment
to controle the bike... this is my feeling

Pivot angle is quite steep and negtive trail is long - this might make
the bike a little nervous. Maybe you feel a little difference with
a 20" rear wheel.
next days i do some changes i think make pivo at 65° and coser as posible to the front wheel
After all, you are very courageous, going that fast after two days
of training.
Not courageous, just because at "normal" speed i feel very good...
It took me weeks to ride faster than 30 km/h with P1.
In general you are right: the python is an excellent bike for flat
terrain!
The more relaxed I feel, the easier I can let the bike roll
downhills.

Bon courage,
Jürgen.
