Hey - what do you guys think about this idea:
The best way to combine decent steering radius with a LARGE front wheel
drive is with a movable bottom bracket (like Python, or other swivel
nose designs). The draw back is less mechanical efficiency due to peddle
induced wobble. And of course it's difficulty to learn how to ride in
the case of the Flevo or Python.
So, what about combining two FWD approaches. You have a large front
wheel that steers with a conventional headtube and a very, very small
turn radius due to interference issues between the tire and the chain
ring, chain, crank, legs, etc. Once the lowracer has achieved 'cruising'
speed, this small turn radius may be sufficient.
For slow speed maneuvering, the bb boom could be broken - python or
Flevo style, then locked straight when cruising speed has been achieved.
