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 On 9/4/07, Torben Scheel <torben@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: David Mullens <davemullens@xxxxxxx> > To: python@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Date: Mon, 03 Sep 2007 08:33:34 -0700 > Subject: [python] Re: Svar: Re: Svar: Re: Max Speed 67 on Delta Trike > > "Bigger wheels also means larger wheelbase (to some extend), which > results in a bigger turning circle.

I expected there would be, but high speeds is a problem on it.
