With its unique tilt/steering system sorted, Terracraft's Supertrike hits the market

Tilting three-wheelers are becoming more common, but there's nothing out there like this. Terracraft's SuperTrike gives you a pair of handlebars to control steering, but the tilt angle is chosen by an intelligent CoPilot computer system that keeps the cabin perfectly level over all sorts of undulations that would tilt a regular car around, and leans the trike into corners for a more aggressive and less nausea-inducing cornering experience. Now that the tilt/steering system is tested and proven, Terracraft is announcing it's ready to accept orders. Gizmag spoke with Terracraft's James "Wes" Abbott.

Наклоняющийся в поворотах трицикл? Кинематика подвески для подобных транспортных средств была разработана полвека назад англичанином Джорджем Уоллисом, а трехколесные мотоциклы с «параллелограммными» механизмами сейчас есть в программе многих мотофирм, например Piaggio, Gilera и Peugeot. Их плюсы — устойчивость и высокая скорость прохождения поворотов, ведь из-за наклона центробежная сила уравновешивается силой тяжести.
