These buses were delivered with manual steering, it was thought by management at the time, that drivers would "oversteer" and cause an accident due to how "easy" a power steering bus would drive. No buses here were power at that time. These trolleys then had a retrofit whereby they were fitted with "air assist" steering. This is the air discharge you hear when they steer a corner. Some were better than others, but all were easier than manual. This one was probably a little "hard". 

[BlackAmV0]

Yes, but why is it so hard steering? ZiU-5, produced in the Soviet Union since 1959 till 1972, already had a pneumatic power steering, Škoda was equippted with the hydraulic power steering since 1977 - why the Flyer wasn't?

Loved riding on these, would love one for our trolleybus museum at Sandtoft, UK. We got our hands on a Edmonton trolley and it has been a huge draw for visitors.

Governed at about 70-80 kph. Depended on each individual bus though.
