[python] Re: Python/Hipparion Trike

I think I will shorten the wheelbase from 1050mm to
1000mm.


Don´t make the wheelbase too short.
Short WB will result in bad traction of the front wheel and in
high speed wobbling.

Jukka might tell you the WB of his trike.

The rear wheel is positioned very much like a normal python. With so
little weight on the rear wheel (the half of  a normal python), is there
much sense to use brakes at all on the rear? My guess is the rear wheels
will slip the moment you pull the breaks. The hipparion neither comes
with rear breaks.


Additionally you will have "brake steering" if the brake force is applied
unbalanced to the rear wheels.

Grüße,
Jürgen.
