Your steering geometry in a Right 45 degree angle.
Congratulation to my Brother FWD *****

Very sharp looking bike! Steering geometry is always the tricky part I belief. I really hope you'll get right next time. I very much like the visual appearance of your bike. A shame it crashed. Keep up the great work!
-
Very similar to what I'm now building. Nice machine!
-
@dou40006 I believe that it climbed better than my RWD bike.I think that FWD bikes may not climb so well on steep hills as they get wheel spin.( I will put it to the test when I finish building my new twist chain FWD bike)

Thanks, I see , the design was based on shallow angle for the column direction to reduce the steering induced pedaling effect but this type of geometry give bizarre behavior, with the bike that tends to fall when you steer.
Do you think it could climb better than a regular RWD bike, there is a trend of thought who say that FWD bent climb better but I am still trying to find evidence of this

@pinla Hi there, as I have said "Unfortunately this bike was written off in a high speed crash ,about two weeks after this video was made".The crash was caused by an uncontrollable wobble at about 55kph.I ended up in a ditch with my helmet in a million pieces(very luckily to walk away from that) As for the frame the front end was to bent to fix.
After this I designed a new twist chain Fwd bike (as can be seen in my latest videos)

Do you have any CAD schematics or build plans for this bike? I'm looking to build a recumbent Gravity Bike, and this bike has a brilliantly low center of gravity!
Message me, Please!
