Interesting, but it's a NON-tilting 3-wheeler. The rear suspension is an active rollbar keeping the vehicle flat during turns. So the vehicle still needs to be...
Hi All, Here's Prof. Cossalters's electric tilting three wheeler: http://thescooterscoop.blogspot.com/2008/03/diy-of-day-esnake-electirc- 3-wheeler.html ...
... Well, I've seen a tilting wing before. I really wonder about people who don't realize that tilting the wing increases the side force that the down force...
... Hi Bob, This semi-tilter illustrates (for any potential TTW builders) a fundamental problem creating inline rear-engined two-seater - that of excessive...
Hello Roy, Imo, the fundamental design decision for both the 2F and 2R type tilters, is about designing a 1.5 seater with a maximum width of 0.90m. The length...
... Agree on the narrow width Bob for our 'packed cities' design criteria, where traffic 'filtering' between stationary traffic queues is allowed, but our...
Hi everyone, I've been on this list awhile but have been busy with career. I inherited the wonderful Magic leaning trike that was designed by my mentor, the...
Very simple, singular pivot. Lean is passive, following the balance of the rider created by steering the conventional front fork. Quick parking lot tests ...
... Is the single pivot in line with the main frame tube, giving some steering effect at the back? Best, Bob Stuart [Non-text portions of this message have...

I didn't follow the logic when I read it the article, still don't, easiest vehicle I have ever had to push to its limits. For my test drive Bill rode for the...
Hi Paul The rear wheels always steer, they are directly mechanically linked to the body so that at 45 degree lean they steer 7 degrees, that's what helps make ...
... Are they not describing a drivers 'reaction' to drifting the rear? Turning the front wheels into the slide - rally driver style? ... I rather think so...
... One would think so on first reading, but I'm not so sure. It's a second hand anecdotal report, so VERY unreliable. It could be that the driver wanted to ...
