tilting cargo trike

Is the tilting mechanism independent of the load? I love tilting trikes, and all your posts. I wish the video showed different loads though. Do they need to be incredibly symmetrical loads? Or what happens if the load shifts a bit to one side? Will you be working against the weight of the load to tilt in the other direction? I see the tilting mechanism at the end...which was cool, but it still seems like the cargo could really affect handling.

I will someday have a tilting cargo trike, but I want a delta...with all the cargo weight on the non-tilting axle. I go so slow with my builds though, and am only getting to the early stages of geometry/physics...nowhere even near the issues that go with electrification yet.
 
Man, you must spend hours and hours looking at worthless crap on the net to find so many cool things to show us. Keep up the good work. This one is a real gem.

Wish the vid was better too, but it sure looks like something I'd like a lot.

I know the guy. He lives in Montevideo (uruguay).
The second he made with central motor is even better http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_Cft54dyp0
This video is from a presentation from yesterday I recorded. He was presenting them along with his thesis. At the endo of the presentation there is a video with the second e-trike.

Has anyone here on the Sphere tried the Noomad?

I am seriously considering it for my V-2 Mundo.

Battery up front. rear wheel drive, leaving the rear open for cargo.
 
Onya Cycles in the Bay Area an enterprise of the Saul Griffith labs has been working on this type of design for awhile.

Hey everyone,

I am one of the developers of Veleon. I noticed that we got some visits on our Homepage coming from here, so I took a look and found you guys discussing our bike :)

I just wanted to give you the opportunity to ask any question you have about Veleon and I will gladly answer as much as I can!

Greetings from Berlin
