Reverse Trike Independent Steering is Amazing!

Hey everyone, Dustin here, CEO of sixthreezero. I wanted to show you in a little more detail how the steering mechanism on the EZ Transit Reverse Trike works. Now you can see how the wheels lean together. They do operate independently in terms of if one goes down, the other goes up. Now they're not on completely independent axles, they're working in unison where if one goes one way, the other goes the other way. But if you want to look down here and come in a little tighter, I'll show you. If you were to roll over a curb at an angle like so, you're going to see that the first wheel is going to come down first. Then your rear wheel is going to come down.

Now, what's cool about that is you can see now if it's kind of hard to bring it back up, but you can see how it's keeping both the wheels on the ground at all times. so this one's coming down then as you come down this one's coming down as well now that's what makes this even more stable going over curbs or other bumpy terrain is if you have one uneven side you know on a conventional trike your wheels hit the heights differently one may roll over if it's higher on the other side you're going to slam into it, in this case, you have the ability with this drive system this axle you have the ability for it to move in accordance with however high it is on a given side. So again, this side comes down, and then this side follows with it. So it's a pretty cool, unique system. Now, in the situation that if you came straight on, they're going to come down together, if you drop both wheels together. Now in that situation, I didn't, but if you came down like this, They're gonna come down at the same time. It's, if they hit at a different point, I can do even a more extreme angle right here, and you can see, there comes that wheel dropping down. Meanwhile, this one is following up, okay, So it's pretty cool. Now, I'm going to go ahead and try to do this.

Now the one thing is, with our 16-inch wheels, we don't have the capability of going over boulders here and in the front tire, if you had bigger tires, this would accommodate even more curbs But let me go ahead and just demonstrate here. I'm gonna take it at a nice gingerly pace. Okay, rear wheel, front wheel, rear wheel. Let me try one more time. And again, this is a pretty large drop-off. I'm just doing this as an example here. All right. Here we go. Front-wheel, second wheel. Nice and stable. So it makes it where, again, you're keeping all the wheels on the ground at the same time. If you were to have two wheels in the front where you didn't have this capability and you took a dip like that on an angle. That would create a lot of instability and the risk of the e-trike falling over. So, cool drive system uh how they work together and keeps the e-trike very very stable.
