Jon Senior said:Not sure that counter steer has any effect on trikes. I think the
steering is always positive (I'm sure Mr Larrington can offer an
example of a lean steer trike to prove me wrong though!).
I would imagine counter-steering to be counter-productive on trikes, just as
it would be in a motorcar[1]. There have been leaning trikes, usually with
the paired wheels in the back, but occasionally tadpoles, notable the
Tripendo.
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:It might be trikes aren't prone to the same counter-steer effect, of
course, since they a) don't lean over (no two-wheeled cornering for
me, yet)This is the key point. There is no lean in trike cornering.
Not of the machine, but the rider may wish to lean towards the inside of the
bend in order to keep the inside wheel on the deck and/or keep the rubber on
the outside tyre. I once managed to scrape my martlehat against the road
while negotiating teh Eastway hairpin on a Windcheetah...

Just find a world that's into that kind of thing, then chain to the
