Hi Mitch, It's the Swiss Easy Glider! http://www.easy-glider.ch/ http://www.gizmag.com/go/2758/ Btw in the Links section I found some strange folders, uploaded...
Art and Aaron I was relaying oral history I heard from old timers in the '60s. The Flexies they were talking about were actually Flxible side cars. Flxble side...

I am thinking of trying to make a tilt lean Goldwing simular to Carlos Vidals Ducati. Question is the goldwing has shaft drive,with the rear wheel seperation...
... Hi Dennis and welcome, Goldwings have limited tilting ability owing to their sheer width in my experience (GL1100, Valkyrie Interstate), not to mention the...
At a bike show in Dublin yesterday was a prospective importer of these to Ireland. A few points: The bodywork is very light. Weather protection only. The tilt...

I was down at the shops and 2 kids came in on a pedal powered TTW. It was a 1F1T. The 2 rear wheels where about 2 feet apart, the front wheel was about 4 foot...

... thrust. I think 6 degrees of wheeltilt = I degree of wheel steer slip angle. The vehicle is obviously simply a crude fixed tilt/steer ratio.... Being a...

Banned me! Can you believe that..... me! banned.Well ok its not all that surprising when you think about it. but I was only defending Roy from some very nasty...
... LOL!! That'll teach you not to defend the innocent Phillip! and there's only one irrational nasty person on that list who is simply ignored by the...
snip ... I don't think it is actual lack of building that is afflicting the FF list. There is quite a bit of it going on, and people using them too. It's just...
Hi, I am the moderator of the SmallEfficientVehicles group, birthplace of the $5000 people's car. Green, hybrid, modular energy unit. We could use some...
Hi all, Ok, so lets assume that you have finally made some sort of strange vehicle. It has lights and stuff and you now want to drive it on the road. Problem...

snip ... Not to say this is incorrect, but we should not consider a car control to be perfect either. Many times in my life I have had aches and pains (for...
Can someone point me to a link that will show me how the tilt mechanism functions? For two tilting front wheels, I think I understand how the parallelogram...

If you modify a vehicle in the UK, a points system is used to decide what tests need to be performed to keep it on the road. Retaining items such as the...
... Why do you say 10mph? This speed could be virtually zero if it was desirable. A bicycle is easily controlled down to less than 1mph by a child. Arthur....
Andy, The answer depends on the type of tilter you're talking about. The control for steering and tilt are different depending on whether it's a Free Leaner or...
A worthy successor to the Ecomobile, see my web page, pages 11 and 17 for Eco and Carver piccies. Tricky decision, even though I love the sheer lunacy of...
Just for the record the Carver doesn't have a fixed tilt to steer ratio, its supposed to be dependant on speed, whether linear or a complex formula I have no...
