Thanks Mark, now I have got it. So both pivots have the
same axis. The construction is similar to Greg K's trikes.
NEARLY identical I believe! My trike has 20/20/20 wheels but the basic
concept is the same. The stability issue has me bugges though! youhave to
understand, I LIKE this little trike. something about it is just really cool!
SUPER
fun to ride and stable! I can idle along at walking speed! Another thing I
MAY do is to switch to a 26 inch front wheel and give a bit longer wheelbase
as well as higher speed potential. Jamie MacMenermy uses rubber or something
similar to make the pivots. It isn't a "bearing" as much as a springy
material. So the pivot is less prone to wild swinging about. I like Greg K's
body
designs too. I had thought to make an experimental body from Coroplast
(corrigated plastic sign material, also known as Coroflute) I built a tail box
on my
current recumbent bicycle out of it and I have LOTS left!
