Hi Jurgen,
I am aware of tilting trikes with lean steer, but my design does not
work like that.
The front axle is rigid, there is no Ackerman steering, the wheels do
not pivot. The axle pivots at 65 degrees to horizontal at the front of
the body.
The body, chassis, transmission, seat, and rear wheel are one unit
As the front axle is turned the body leans by means of the geometry
into the bend. There are no extra levers to control the lean.
Regards
Ken

Thanks Ken, this makes the steering principle more clearer to me. The
design reminds me of Greg Kolodziejzyk's lean steer trike (see similar
concept in the attached gif).
The steering pivot seems to be behind the rider and the rider plus the
whole front part is one single unit that tilts - correct?
If so I would consider it to be rearwheel steered (RWS) and not python-
ish ;-)
Regards,
Jürgen.

Hi Jurgen,
I have just published the section concerning Python geometry on my
website. Please have a look and see if it makes sense.
