AW: Raptotrike
Hi,
as I had explained I have not routed cables to the tilt lock as for me that is the least interesting part. The tilt lock currently is a drum brake. Apply braking power to it and the trike will stay upright, so that is nothing too special. I was mostly interested in creating the module, seeing if it would ride nicely when not tilt locked.
At the moment I'm thinking about the method for tilt locking the bike. The current setup really requires three brake leavers. One for the front brake, one for the rear brakes (will probably become discs in the next version) and one for the tilt lock. The tilt lock could have a nicer better system (ideas welcome).

PS. Sorry for the English. I can read German fine, writing is a different matter. I hope no one is offended.
