Hello
Ive been lurking in the shadows for some time over at Elmoto.net, converting a GSXR 600 motorcycle to all electric drive, and occationally popping over to have a look
But lately ive had a brainwave concerning (bi)cycles, being that it could be nice to have a recumbent somewhere in the future, while i like the tilting motion of motorcycles and bicycles (its the soul of the ride man!) ive had a fetish for reverse trikes since i was a kid, only being 19 thats not saying much.
but heres a concpet ive come up with:
The blue lines being the frame, red being wheels, green pivot/suspension and orange pivot arm.
Seen from above, it incorporates the tilting mehcanisme and suspension of the Kanteltrike turned to the front.
And the steering of a Center steered bike, with the Python as an example.
How would you think this setup would perform?
being that theoreticly when the front it forced to the side, using steering levers, the mechanisme would force the bike into a tilt in the given direction thanks to the center steering pivot (green circle in the drawing) and the pivot arms would then tilt accordingly like the Kanteltrike does.
Why on the E-bike forums? becuase you guys have the most extensive and knowing bicycle forum ive ever known and if this bike makes it into protyping some time in the future, it would be a blast to have it powered by a electric motor, either assist or full electric drive
