Hi , Here is a link to the video of the Trev non tilter that appeared on Abc's The New Inventors show here in Oz.Ive been following it for a while now ,but had...
I have found an explanation for this. It appears in US Patent 6863288 B2. Two reasons are given: 1. To eliminate oscillations at speed, and 2. Because of the...
I know there has been some discussion of the Vectrix V3 (http://greenhome.huddler.com/products/vectrix-electric-3-wheeler-moto )- which looks like an electric...
This has a list of most of the 3 wheelers including tilters with pictures. I had not com across them all together before and in case it has not been posted...

... As the front suspension is of different design to the MP3 I wonder why Vectrix reportedly took out a licence from Piaggio for their vehicle?. ... ...
... Funny you should say that. The Examiner's report is far shorter and to the point. Summary: Nothing novel disclosed. Perhaps that is why the proposed...
Hi Aaron, I checked the rake of my vehicle and I am at 55 degrees measuring from the ground up the angle of the pivot. I am thinking a motorcycle is at around...

Stephen, Rake and Trail are well studied steering geometry measurements where I'd direct you to someone like Tony Foale to determine if and how it's affecting...

Surfing today I cam across a patent for this vehicle 1F1T http://www.armec.com/city/cm.html Mitch Castro had mentioned it in a 2002 post I think. The patent is...
