Hi Jürgen,
Surprisingly, we have little tire trauma after just some practice, and some
speed build up. However, the direction must be communicated somehow...
telepathically? Last weekend, we had a funny incident when my kid turned right
on our test track as usual when I wanted to turn left with just a quick
gesture,
so we had our first Bango banana split. Actually, it's quite a nice way to
skid
stop if that's what we wanted to do...
At first, I only wanted to see how FWD torque steer would cancel out in a dual
python configuration if we force the pedals 180 out of phase somehow. Didn't
think much about steering / geometries such as Ackerman before the build, and
after our first test ride decided to skip the steering linkage all together to
rely good old communication. Now, it seems that as we try to ride smoothly, we
tend to pedal out of phase. Is the machine controlling the humans instead?
Need more observations to confirm this phenomenon :)
Vi

Thanks Vi,
looks really cool!
Any issues when turning into curves?
Cheers,
Jürgen.
