Hi Marc, I hear that you wanted to contact me about my designs. As mentioned in the mailing list, I am finalising a new one that hopefully will be the best! It uses a folding joint designed by Steffen Risse. My main problem has been to get something that works well and folds well too! These trikes are made with fibreglass and carbon fibre and are very time consuming to make. Fortunately I am retired and have the time. As has been mentioned by others, finding the best pivot angle is also something that needs a lot of time in a new design. Dirk Bonne mentions in the Python web page that the heavier the rear section, the closer the ideal angle comes to the maximum seat rising angle. Last time I had an angle of 52 degrees but the wheel flop was considerable. This time I am trying for an angle of 55 degrees. For these heavier designs I have found approaching 60 degrees creates too much PSI. If you want to make contact my email is hstevens94@xxxxxxxxx.
