| 20 hours ago | comment | added | John | the solution to that is to make your central wheel bigger than the rear wheels, and put your engine in the back aka don't try to fit a box around a tripod build a tripod. Alternative, center pivot steering, aka frame steering, best of both worlds, stability AND maneuverability. engineering issues could even explain central seating. | |
| yesterday | comment | added | Themoonisacheese | @Trish we did do this for a while, but front-single wheel tricycles are not really stable at high speeds because the forces in a turn turn out to be exactly over the part where there's no wheel. it's also generally pretty useful to double up on grip for your steering wheels ;) | |
| yesterday | comment | added | Trish | Doesn't that lead to a Tricycle setup? As in, one suspended steerable wheel, and the drive is back? | |
