"The Stallion" Trike

[The Pastor]

also, why only 150hp??? why oh why? my bike has half the engine and 25-50hp less.... also weighs alot less than that 725kg beast...

[kiwifruit]

they cant turn for shit and they get 1 wheel up in the air and are very slopy? how to real trikes combat this problem?

by using a diff (not a locked diff)

Id have a go on it if i was offered, be a laugh

I''d be interested to find how it handles. Though it must be admitted, on that basis does a Reliant Robin class as a trike?

A thought that occurs to me, has anyone ever doen a trike with REAR wheel steering? Forklifts use rear wheel steering so it is obviously possible, and it would eliminate the problem of haveing to use car type steering with only one wheel, and the resulted wheel tuck under problems.

What if you were really close to a wall or car and wanted to change lanes? Also rear wheel steering vehicles suffer front bad oversteer, try reversing your car fast and try and take a corner...

fuck, paint job okay, fuck the rest, leave it under water

But would it oversteer with a single central front wheel? I sort of wonder if a rear wheel steer trike would sort of pivot around the central front wheel. (Assuming the rear wheels had a diff) . I think you'd have to have some front wheel steer too, to avoid the front being dragged around, at last passive steer.

Looks like a Sinclair C5 that's been on an american diet.

In the early eighties a fellow out at maraetai built a trike with a VW engine,rotated and placed in front of the diff.It had short springer forks and a proper tubular spaceframe chassis.
It reputedly handled exceptional well.The guy was a chasis builder for F1,when they used to make them out of steel tubes,apparently
