Tilting Trikes Part 1 - Velomobile and Motorcycle Trike Tilting Mechanism Design

This video looks at the design considerations for the tilting mechanism for a three-wheeled velomobile, trike or motorcycle. It covers the geometry of various configurations and how to avoid pitfalls of excessive tyre scrub and unsuitable arrangements. I have used cardboard models to illustrate the topics covered. Hopefully, this video will give you the information you need to design your own tilting mechanisms to give a nice-handling machine.
