Great!

The last seconds of your video shows something essential: If the python is pushable it also is rideable.

Also great to see that you have used Dirk Bonnés calculation program, which funnily enough is written in the programming language python:

But also keep in mind, that the combination of pivot angle and weight distribution is crucial for rideability. A heavy front part needs bigger pivot angles for wheel flop compensation.

And lastly keep in mind that it takes several hundred kilometers of practice to feel save in traffic ;-)

Cheers,
Jürgen.

Magic, I can ride it on first trial :) Ground clearance also improved, but seat angle became a little too upright ~40 deg to stop me from sliding off forward. I can also push it forward by the headrest. Perhaps this is a good objective test for ride-ability, independent of hip coordination... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yBjSGL_pd8
