Mitch - The turning radius is big because these are meant to be stable at speed - it's like an older pair of 220 cm skis. There are videos on you tube of...
Well done Tom, sounds like a good trip For all those interested in innovative vehicles there are a couple of interesting things going down. 1. There is an...
you know Mitch, copying one of these dirtsurfers would be a good first tilting project. Now I am too old to ride one - I know I can't skateboard - but a 4...
oops 4 wheels requires wheels to tilt if free-to-castor. unless I mis-thought this too. J john fisher wrote: but a 4 wheel version of the dirtsurfer with tilt,...
John - Yeah, I think it probably should have tilting wheels, unless you are trying to reinvent a more complicated skateboard. That could be possible, too; the...
... it seems to be not very promising outside forklifts. I think the diwheel dual powered rear wheels which steer by varying wheel speed ( Segway, some lawn...
I am converting a Corbin sparrow to gas drive with a honda 600cc scooter. I plan to widen the front suspension and would love to make it into a tilting...
The Sparrow is a great little vehicle and well suited to its purpose. If you are going to do that much work, why not start from scratch and build what you...
Yeah it strikes me that this recumbent style with tilt is a far better design than the old ATCs. You could raise it up some to have suspension travel for...
Hi everyone, here's an article from the Faster and Faster motorcycle website, "NHTSA may make Anti-Lock Braking Systems (ABS) mandatory for motorcycles in the...
Hi everyone, I was just thinking that there is a problem using Rounded Leaning Tires as a factor in speed calculations. When the wheel(s) are vertical the...
Hi everyone, just wanted to let you know that there's quite a few pleasant, but brief videos on YouTube about Anti-Lock Braking (ABS) and Vehicle Speed Sensors...
... It would have to be quite a small fat tyre for that much, surely? ... Surely the significant thing to ABS is the difference between wheel speeds, not the...
Hi all Stop bothereing about this point; ABS, if needed, will easily cope with these differances. Firstly the distance travelled per rev is calculated from...
Hi all, ... One technique would be to build a tilter that looked pretty nice and basically worked ( a natural lean version wouldn't be too hard ), make it...
Hi mitch Great minds think alike... all those ideas are already in the marketing plan for my project along with several others. Scale working model is under...
Hi all, you might enjoy this video of Feet Forward motorcycles ( as compared to common Head Forward motorcycles). It is from the 1980's, but quickly gives a...
FYI, there is in fact one production example of a 3 wheeler that features ABS. It is the BRP CanAm Spyder. It uses a brake system designed by Hayes Brakes...
Hi Nick and group, that's an impressive list of items for promoting a design to investors, very professional. I was just looking at websites of the electric...
Of course, you are talking for example of one finished nArrow Streets with a Bobobo Free to Caster leaning system provided with automatic counterseteer Chorete...
I think anti-lock brakes are triggered by the rate of change of wheel speed, and/or percent difference in wheel speed for two compared wheels. So a 3 wheel...
Also, the Reversetrike group claims that there are some pickup truck ABS systems which have 3 channels. One for each front tire and 1 for the rear together. I...
Hi everyone, I think this is likely the patent for the Can-Am three-wheeler. Can-Am is ownded the by Canadian Bombardier company. Below that are stablilty...
