Tilting Trike with upgraded "Tilting Lock" mechanism

[@fonwoolridge]

Great work! Keep it up!

[@svenabrahamsson1412]

Any problem when you need to brake and tilt at the same time? Like at a sharp curve downhill. Nice job Daniele!

[@daniele_go]

Thanks Sven! You can use rear brakes when you enter in a turn , the only thing is that by doing so the bike becomes a little harder to lean. In fact when pulling rear brakes the bike tends to keep the current lean angle....

[@svenabrahamsson1412]

@@daniele_go "enter in a turn": Do you mean to rear brake before the turn and then not rear brake in the turn, just front brake? "little harder to lean" : Do you mean that it is possible to lean and rear brake but you just have to work harder? Is this a real problem? Daniele, what is your experience of this?

[@daniele_go]

@@svenabrahamsson1412 I mean that when pulling rear brakes on a straight line the bike will be slightly more difficult to lean in a turn. Similar experience when in a turn you pull the rear brakes the bike will be slightly more difficult to go back to vertical. Hope it makes sense....

Thank you

Excellent work Daniel !. I only have one doubt, the axes that connect the ball joints are rigid axles themselves or are they traction springs ???, I cannot distinguish them.

[@daniele_go]

Hi, both axles are rigid ones. Hopefully you can see better in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zqubi4ysmqhsgKs

[@fonwoolridge]

Brilliant! How /where did you get such long axles from?! Surely they are not just threaded rod - as that wouldnt be strong enough? Great job....

[@daniele_go]

Thanks! These axles are 12mm x 170mm, highest quality I found (acier 12.8). But it took some time before I found them...

[@fonwoolridge]

@@daniele_go Thanks! very interesting! Long term Im hoping to make a tilting trike too - but v complicated isnt it?! So many different ways you could do it... And yeah, so many forces to be reckoned with! Many thanks for the food for thought!

[@daniele_go]

@@fonwoolridge Yes, it is definitely a challenging project. On a bicycle it must be simple, compact and not too heavy.

[@tylerkeeling5806]

Cool idea!

[@phiphi70]

le soft lock sert de freins a l'arrière en route et de frein fixe de parking lors d'un freinage appuyé en courbe n'y a t il pas un " durcissement et une réduction de l'effet pendulaire des roues arrières et une diminution du braquage dans quel cas se servir du hard lock puisqu'il ne freine pas je regarde pour un Hase depuis que j'ai vu votre construction je ne suis plus certain !!!

[@daniele_go]

C'est exact: lors d'un gros freinage incliné le vélo a la tendance à garder la même inclinaison. Mais avec un peu d'expérience on gère ça très facilement. D'ailleurs j'utilise le frein avant + le freinage avec régénération dans 80% des cas. Seulement dans des descentes très raides j'utilise aussi le frein arrière.

Final design then Daniele? To be proven in this year SunTrip? What about your foil/carénage experimentations? :-)

[@daniele_go]

Salut Olivier, still a lot of tests required..... In the meantime my "tilting velomobile'' project is making some progress. Voici la maquette ...seulement pour tes yeux 😉: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJfYlKh7iN-pn6M

[@iksralquyuud]

Excellent development to an already great conversion idea, Daniele. BTW, does your touring solar trike also have a leaning/tilting mechanism on the rear wheels? If yes, what recumbent bike is it based on (I think I saw an M5 mentioned somewhere among your videos, but that is a rwd recumbent, which would make it unsuitable for fitting a 2-wheel tilting mechanism on the rear, no? Thanks.

[@daniele_go]

Thanks! Yes, the tilting mechanism is installed on all my solar trikes. I am using it on Raptobike (Front Wheel Drive) and on M5( I transformed as FWD). It is also installed on Cruzbike and Performer recumbent bikes
