    Hi, You have right.
    I also never seen worst welding that I made in this video.
    Be gentile, I have re weld the most important part.
    Welding is hard with old electrode weld machine.
    Now I have a new wire welding machine.
    I will show you better welding the next time.
    I have a new project of a quadricycle.
    See you later.
    Best regards.
    Aleksander.

    That is about the worst looking welding I have ever seen. I would be embarrassed showing it to anyone. Also I would be afraid to ride it for fear that the welds would break and result in wrecking it.

    @amidesign
    I have tested it out now… The negative camber has got a higher rolling resistance.
    Ok, it’s an ackerman steering to get the tilting position of the trike. I will check out your page!

    Hi,
    When I ride my trike I’m like the King of the road.
    - Powerfulness
    - Silence
    - Comfort

    Hi,
    Yes, in my mind a negative camber looks like an overloaded car.
    The most important is the track.
    In front view, I have 71 cm wheel to wheel.
    My trike has 78 cm width.
    Now, if the track is 71 cm, with or without camber it changes nothing on handling.
    But, when turn, the wheels balls bearings suffer more without negative camber.
    A Negative camber permits also to have a larger track for the same vehicle width.
    For me, without camber looks better. This is only my choice.

    Good idea & excellent work! I couldn’t make it better….. I see, you don’t have a negative camber on the front wheels. In my “Lowracer” creation the gauge has 99,5cm and a camber of 5%. How is the roadholding?
    I am planning now a new tilting recumbent trike with only 3 tubing lines, the seat position gets only 25degree and a high of 11cm. Only for speed and velodrome…

    There is a golden rule in construction :
    Do everything itself.

    hey thats some good work
    why did you use bike aheadsets on the dropped tube axle.
    would have been easier running a straight axle and go cart style king pins.
