you should make it so when you tilt one way it goes the other ways, tht would suck falling with your tilts while riding, but i geuss its easyer fgor slowing down, you wouldent have to lean on the front to stop, weird. theres so many small factors that you need to work with or around

and this is only the beginning

pretty cool, but VERY impractical turning. somewhat useless unless your only going straight.

It turns by leaning it to one side, deforming the tire, limited at present by my lack of skill. Check out the original machine by Ben Smithers which inspired me to build this. He steers his around a car park between all the parked cars with no problem. His kart wheel is one size down from mine which probably helps.

@skateplanbboard would a curved (more spherical wheel) not do the job? juat an idea probably wrong :)

Spherical wide wheel maybe with flat centre section would probably be best. Alternatively something shaped like a rugby ball or American football.
Nothing off the shelf comes to mind though.
Or, a centre flat profile wheel with smaller diameter thin wheels on each end of axle each side. This would work fine but look pretty odd (if that is possible).
