Herrsprocket, the only thing i can find on that site is a cable splitter, that connects 2 cables with one (or the opposite) Alltho their solution looks fancy, i fail to see why it is better than the wire(cable) lock i mentioned earlier. Thank you guys for helping me decide, i now feel confident...

Hos would one connect the pipes for a hydraulic brake system? I assume that not many have this problem, so i doubt there is a over the counter solution available..? I think hydraulic brake systems are a better option but unfortunately they are a bit beyond this projects budget.. But still, the...

Hi all! Im building a social tandem trike with two rear wheels and i have some questions that needs answers. The project is for a family who´s daughter has special needs, so she cannot use any brakes or gears due to congnitive dificulties, witch further complicates the project. Since it will...

Thank you for your very insightful post! It must have taken you seconds to scrible that together, and from the bottom of my heart, i thank you for taking the time and effort.

Hey! I just launched my website, hordur.se still, swedish tho, so no luck for most of you guys... :P But babelfish or equal translation services should be able to fix it for you :) i must say, ive been twisting my head around a mechanical self-centering tilt function, but realized i simply...

As the cad design comes together more and more, i realize that a gravity-controlled tilt function is a bit too complicated for me. So now ive started investigating in electronicly controlled tilt function. Does anyone have suggestions for the tilt actuators? The control box is still a "bit"...

forgot to answer.. :) im in sweden.. :)

Thank you all very much for the supportive posts! And of course, this will be minutely documented, both with cad models, photos and text. :) My website about this project is popping up within a month or two, and my newer cad app is supposed to be able to post 3d websites, making it easy to...

The front end is coming together nicely, front A-frames from a offroad quad will be used, with a pendulum to swing the upper A-frames to allow the tilting motion. It will clear further when i eventually get a grip on the cad app, but for now im feeling VERY exited about this project :D I found...

Ive started sketching up my dream project, a 3 wheeled bike, and wondering about the electronics.. i really must have regen braking, but im unshure of where i can get it..? I also read about thease shock absorbers (springs) that can charge the battery..?? ME WANT!! where can i get it or how...

im trying to learn a cad app, solid works. Ive finally managed to get a basic spring movement on the rear wheel, so im slowly getting there.. :) I still havent figured out the front frame tho.. and solidworks isnt really bult as a sketch app.. :P well, every small step in the right direction.. :)

Mitch, the leaning bike is tilted by the same techniqe as a 2 wheel motorcykle, by the driver holding its balance. And for most other leaning "cars" out there, they are almost esclusively tilted by hydralics or other means of mechanical angle ajustments. I want this to stand true even when...

that spring system was VERY cool! :D I discussed this project with a friend today, and there is off the shelf springs with that function :) I was reading the tech news the other day, and found a article about shock absorbing electrical generators, that utilizes the wheels bouncing as power...

I thank you for your very satisfying drawing, it looks very nice! :D What application are you using and can you extract technical drawings with measurements and stuff? Your design relies on a metal frame, witch i was concidering avoiding, by using a glassfibre hull. I build some rc model...

Im starting on a new project, a leaning 3wheeled "car" type bike with 1 or 2 seats and a cockpit similar to a sailplane. I know this sounds crazy, but i think i might actually be able to pull it of, with some much needed help to design the darn thing.. :) I have a generalized idea, but nothing...
