Leaning trike concept

- 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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
too much weight you should put a slight lien in when the steering is turned to the right or the left.
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
Fake what? It's just an animation.
For more information about this project please go to my website shown at the bottom of the video.
great idea but i find it a messy ¨ber heavy solution...
cant u combin both tilt stearing and normal?
why what would happen?
Неоправданно сложно. Можно ЛУЧШЕ и МНОГО, МНОГО ПРОЩЕ !!!
И с лучшим сцеплением колёс с дорогой.
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?
