I wrote that I was building another trike, one that incorporated a host of subtle changes over the design that had been covered in that series. And now, some 6 months later, here it is.
Rather than describe the day by day ups and downs of this build (and there were lots of problems as well as successes!), and also attempt to relate this trike to the one previously covered, I’ve decided to present this new design as a standalone pair of stories.
If you want detail on why, for example, airbag springs were used rather than (say) polyurethane elastomers, or why an odd-looking semi-leading arm front suspension design was used, refer to the previous series where the design decisions for each part of the trike were covered in detail.
