[python] Re: Svar: Re: Svar: Re: Max Speed 67 on Delta Trike

Hi Pythonists.

I've been wondering .. will a standard gearing not be to "light" with the
smaller wheels. And what is the cruising speed when on flat surface?


An additional question (off topic) .. will a small bagage room between the
seat and

Kind regards, Brian
