Hello Jürgen and George The trike "bends" at the connection between red and white, the same point where the pythons bend, similar angle etc. Referring to the overloaded forks, George: If I take bmx-bike forks (which have to stand a lot of abuse) I hope they'll be strong enough. Unicycle forks are even stronger, and here they have to carry a third ot my weight at least. of course they are bent, not ompressed, but with the smaller load I hope for the best. I put the picture at the end of the message again. the basic geometry, angle of the "pendulum", trail etc. should be the same as in a two-wheel python... I built some python-trikes out of my childrens' lego bricks today, no joke! Had to put a lot of weight on the lowest point v#before they drove kind of straight....
