I AGREE. People, be they engineers or not, should spend a little time reading before giving advice or opinions.Hi Jim,
Please give your friend this link: http://www.rqriley.com/3-wheel.htm and ask him to read the article "Dynamic Stability of Three-Wheeled Vehicles in Automotive-Type Applications."
It will explain it very well.
anyone who has not studied the dynamics of auto suspension really has no Idea how complicated it is.
In IMHO a properly designed suspension, a reasonably stiff platform and a relatively large anti sway bar to keep the rear tire contact patch intact,
will handle corning well, while retaining a reasonably soft ride. GB
