8 mm rod end bearings, still vt original. 12mm longitudinal axle that rides in 4 bearings in the aluminum bearing towers. QV air-bag or other suspension mount is SRAM rock-shox. yay
Is your bike over engineered? There are now several very effective and simple “tilt trike” (dragonfly, danieleG). Why reinventing the wheel where the power of velo tilt is his shape design. Yes light, yes simple. But it’s time for a model 1.0 on the market. Or it will your private toy for ever.
i disagree, the vt is not battle mountain material, it's a commercial velomobile. If it was used in a race, the body would be two wheeler. As for behind the seat, im not changing wim's design. the french trike and the vt, u have never riden either! The french one is a trike with a shell on it, the vt is a uni-body velomobile enclosed. Now you have your answers an couple formulas to think about. Wim had 5 man team. Thanks for the ? You think its simple, u are welcome to invest your ideas behind the seat of the vt . velotilt.com like l say for older riders they might like etilt. & bafangs. But u are correct for a light unit behind seat for light rider that are younger.
