[python] Re: px5 stability

Hello Frank,

Is the px5, which has the pivot moved to the rear any more or less stable? 

Yesterday I rode the PX.5 one hour on the parking lot.
The feeling is not very promising. It is more nervous than my P3, but on
the other hand the turning abilities are not better.
So the only advantage of the PX.5 design so far is the foldability.
High speed testing is coming up, but I am not very optimistic.

I hope to begin building the first python in Columbus, Ohio (USA) very soon
and am anxious to hear. 

To you and all other builders who are waiting for new results:
Do not wait for them. Just build the proofed design variants as you
can see on the project page. Everything else is too experimental.

However, if you want to join the experimental crew: Welcome, but
don´t complain if your bike does not work ;-)

Also, I am thinking of attaching the butt bucket part of the seat to the front
half to eliminate pedaling perturbance. 

Better don´t do this - as the others already said.
Pedaling perturbances are not noticeable with the regular python
geometry as well as with flevobike or airbike.

Also, I'm a little woried. You haven't posted since your
speed record. Are you OK?


Don´t worry Frank. I am a very prudent rider :-)

Another speed record was broken by my daughter this weekend:
She achieved the 25 km/h with her P4 trike on a flat road.
No wobbling was notified.

Cheers,
Jürgen.
