Hi All,

Introducing a triple-pivot folding python delta trike, with ~60 deg pivot 
angle.  All-steering is a bonus.  Rear wheel steering is done by leaning into 
the corner and away from the seat, which is required for turning stability with 
this narrow-track trike and does take some learning.  It is possible to turn by 
rear wheel steering only, and turning circle can be dizzy-tight with AWS. 
 Going straight, front-wheel pedal steering disturbance seems to be compensated 
by the rear wheels.  The spring between the rear wheels is needed to dampen 
wheel shimmy, perhaps some cargo will also help...  http://youtu.be/8-jgq4kYYwg


Cheers,
