Has anyone been crazy enough Has anyone been crazy enough to do a Rohloff on a Silvio2+? It seems like the installation of such would be... interesting. My previous playing around with Sheldon's gear calc shows a fairly nice range for such a setup, though, even assuming one keeps to...

I'm probably about to purchase an S30 for my tilting trike project (and if that fails, it looks to be a sweet ride anyway!). Now the question is about components: What components should I put on this thing? I'm looking for the widest gear range with a very low granny. To give...

snilard: The main problem snilard: The main problem with a trike is that I tend to go quite fast downhill, and I'm fairly sure that I'd cause a trike to do an endo at speed. .. which wouldn't be pretty.

I'm fairly afraid of doing a I'm fairly afraid of doing a tilt lock-- I don't want to crash going downhill if it accidentally engaged. As a result, I decided that instead of going for 100% regular trike-like stability, is instead just give balance assist. Given the height above ground...

Definitely working on it... Oh, I'm definitely working on building it, though, given I get about 2 and a half hours a day of leisure time, it'll take a few months at least. :/

Almost the same, but different. @Doctor What: I considered getting one of those for parts :) Ultimately, all that provides is tilting, however, and none of the self-stabilization/balance assist stuff that I want. Plus that one is a standard parallelogram tilter, and that suffers from...

pics and comments @OneHappyReader: haha :) I've ridden both the Sofrider and the Quest, and my preference is for the Silvio or Vendetta, just based on handling. I "get" the Slivio/Vendetta far more intuitively than the Sofrider or Quest. I assume I'll want to ride it in the regular...

Firstly, I'm posting in the Silvio forum because I'm thinking about <wincing> purchasing and then drilling</wincing> into a Silvio frame for this mod. I've designed a tilt assembly based on a swing-arm design. Why? Because I'm very out of shape and I'd like some help balancing when going...
