Tilting trike concept for transition from free to caster to normal steer
This illustrates my concept for a tilting trike that can transition from tilting free to caster mode to non tilting normal steer mode. Previous versions were non mechanical and or far to complicated. This version is purely mechanical and is very simple to construct. for more information about this project please visit my site www.meanleanmachine.com

Leaning trike concept
มุมมอง 136K11 ปีที่แล้ว
Concept for a human powered, tilting reverse trike that can transition between non-leaning normal steering like a car and Free To Caster (FTC) steer by leaning the body and wheels of the bike and letting gyroscopic effect find the proper angle angle of steer for the wheels for the angle of lean and speed of the bike. The same concept will work for motorized tilting trikes.
leaning reverse trike concept
มุมมอง 14K12 ปีที่แล้ว
This is a revised animation of a recumbent leaning reverse trike concept I plan to build. It will use hydraulics to allow three different modes of operation Non-leaning, counter steering, and free to caster. It is a test bed for a motorcycle engine powered version to follow.

    Nice theory! I think is very complex and for a bicycle is going to be very difficult to be implemented. Any progress on the actual implementation? This is how my Tilting Trike actually works: th-cam.com/video/46iQwh-iJik/w-d-xo.html

    Nice summary, thanks! I have built a FTC Tilting Trike and it works great: th-cam.com/video/46iQwh-iJik/w-d-xo.html

    i think your idea is "FUCKING AWSOME " and to be honest to theese dicks below i dont think theres an easier way to explain the complexity of what u went out of your way 2 show newbees like me who obviously are looking up advice SO U SIR GET THE THUMBS UP SUB with a thanks for your time

    Still a concept? Difficult to make it more complex, heavier, expensive ! I made a simpler one which does work and not just on paper 👍 www.gonano.eu

      Do you really need the back breaks on your tilting dual back wheel design? I imagine that single front wheel breaks would suffice.

    Ok I love tilting three wheelers and four wheelers. The intrigue is multiple. Emulating the feel of a two wheeler with the stability of a stand alone platform allows the potential for all season riding including the practical application of weather protection! What is often missing in these designs is another advantage of a two wheeler which is (narrow track profile). Allowing many advantages such as parking where cars can’t. Also lane splitting and access to pedestrian pathways. The whole point for me in the tilting is for a narrow track vehicle to not flip over in a turn. So if you create a tilting vehicle who’s profile less than 24” wide you have missed a very valuable point to going through with this added engineering base. Not sure this example meets this potential!. Also for me personally it must be electric powered. If your going to be cutting edge negating this option is very disappointing and short sited.

    I think I understand why you designed a dual steering system. I assume it as meant to give you the ability to carve the corners using the weight transfer and gyro effect stability of caster tilt steering. The upright steering would allow for low speed maneuverability and a short turning radius.????If so I can give to a simple solution to your problem. It will cost less than 20 dollars US and weigh only ounces. However, the cost of my knowledge will cos you quite a bit more.

    too much weight you should put a slight lien in when the steering is turned to the right or the left.

      I got lost in this solution too. I don't think steering angle and leaning angles must be mechanically dependent. Leaning is better done by rider himself or thru pendulum feedback. What do you suggest?

    well the design is so lacking of properly designed parts... that it seems fake.... the video explanation and use of camera were so poorly executed... that... looks fake.... it may be a great concept... so actually bring a great presentation... and not something that looks fake... if it is actually a fake, pls remove it from the net... no explanation needed

    Waaay to over-engineered, but interesting. How about a single positive castor pivot with a small rake distance to the front wheel axles? Designs like this usually have a large camber on the fron wheels to prevent oversteer.

  • @georgianbents

    Funky design, but way too complicated and in turn it'll be way too expensive to ever do anything with. How much does it weigh? With member dimensions and material, it'll be easy enough to estimate. There's a reason there are very few tilt steer trikes.

  • @currishev
    @currishev 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    0:25 wrong: gyro moment counteracts leaning (test it w/ bike wheel spinning in yo hands). But at usual for bike wheels' angular momentum, this negligible effect is trumped by proper trail &caster angle. Serious guys study matter first thru Wikipedia at least, not to litter Internet nor distract others w/ B.S. Study the designs implemented in tilting scooters on the market - they work &look more sensible than yours.

  • @txusicB

    great idea but i find it a messy ¨ber heavy solution... cant u combin both tilt stearing and normal? why what would happen?

  • @meanleanmachine3
    @meanleanmachine3 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    All steering is done by the steering wheel. At low speeds you put the trike in normal steer mode and it does not lean and the steering wheel angles the front wheels to steer. At normal riding speeds you transition to Free to caster mode. In (FTC) mode turning the steering wheel leans the trike and the connection between the steering wheel and the turning angle of front wheels is loosened, so you steer by leaning and the wheels find the proper angle for the speed and lean angle.
