Hi Dirk,
The cargo bike is more difficult to ride, but my gyros can keep the bed levelel
with various rear wheel setups. Seehttp://youtu.be/8VQlk09qdDU at 2:00 when
the cargo suddenly shifted to one side and it was possible to recover.
Riding the trike at full tilt (limit) was done on purpose, to simulate loss of
balance and recovery by pushing harder on the pedal into the turn to get a
boost of seat rise effect (see athttp://youtu.be/4wLxAvGtW4wat 0:17), quite
natural but not so intuitive. Skidding on gravel (snow), the trike can
suddenly tilt from one side to the other like a bike in
trouble http://youtu.be/DEsGiGk6Yhg, except it keeps going at full tilt until
recovery...
Cheers,
Vi

>>Yes, the wheelbase is a long for my car, so quick release
axles would be nice. The Munzo TT has a compact setup
with locking mechanism, good for their upcoming velo.
Initially I was following this design, using only bike
parts: 2 BB, 2 cranks, a chain, and a hub w/ free wheel

rest of the plan, kind of a lucky shortcut... I really
like the damping effect, so I am afraid that shortening
one crank would make it imbalanced. However, I like to
take your idea further to make a side wheel / side car.
Here is another experiment with wider track for cargo.

Again, very nice!
