any info on this tilter?

I draw it 2 years ago;another design just finished prototype roadtest as built 1 month ago,ready to put to production of modified kit,visit my site http://tw.myblog.yahoo.com/johnny5495-blog

 

[Bluefang]

Very nice work, such a simple design Its how i was dreaming of building one after i finish my current projects

Love the fact that it works with just a single shock, but how does it go with bumps etc seeing as the wheels are not independent of each other totally?

 

[hodala]

all leaning trikes should independant of sus.;actually better than independant;the bumping stroke of dual wheels system usually half of that of single wheel as shown in drawing;left wheel lifts up 60mm,chasis lifts only 30mm

sk8norcal ,
didn't ride any other tilters yet
it is said AEON pay for italian design house for the Quadro3
that Chinese trike set A-a rms too downward like an ATV,should close to Parallelogram in front view that I'd learned from my first model,or reduce tilting angle and bad ackerman geometry- - -
I was an engineer for last 2 decades,PGO,JD(bicycle parts comany)TranzX Components,Her-Chee and some medical equipments- -,no way to stay in a company more than 2 years since lousy R&D labor environment in Taiwan,several years ago went to China to search for chances to build some Buggy prototypes for some companies, since States purchasing drop down,wandering for years, I have to develope some others product to make a living- -

let's break for a tea- -too lazy fellow to type too much- -

 

[sk8norcal]

cool, sounds like you have a lot knowledge of the industry,

btw, you should take a video of your scooter and put it on youtube...
i want to see it in action..

Yep, that is close to what I have been designing in my mind for a while now, pretty damn cool. sk8norcal, thanks for all these odd bits you find and post, I really enjoy them.

[sk8norcal]

thx Oatnet,
check my tilter blog, there are more stuff on there...

btw, that TvA trike is a FTC design.
no direct linkage from steering wheel to the front wheels...
would like to get a closer look to see how its done...

 

[Martin A]

It appears it uses hydraulics and a torque sensor for added steering when the required amount of turn is beyond the amount delivered by free castoring. This usually only occurs at speeds below about 5mph.
