A BHPC member has built a tilting trike. It seems to work!
I did not see it going around the corners of the cycle track in Bath, Odd Down, as I was too busy metering my outputs in my first race of the season.
So I was clearing off the cobwebs, so to speak.
I did sit in it after the racing.
It is very low to the ground, which made it difficult to bail out, and even just to dismount as you would normally from a trike.
The front end was nothing like what I'd seen before.
The tilt action is controllable, tank steering, and easily applied, as seen from the static test that I did.
The build is rugged with lots of bracing pieces to give it strength, but not too heavy, although heavier than 'my machines at 12Kg and 14Kg' it may be closer to 20Kg.
Well, it did beat me, so was it the cornering or just younger legs that did it?
I will endeavour to take photos of it in future meetings as a reveal all with permission, of course.
Stay tuned....
