Python Trikes

From Openbike

Unlike the Hipparion trikes which have a similar frame geometry and also negative trail, the Python trikes do not necessarily use a steering damper and the front part of the frame is different in that the "chain stays" come from bottom up rather than from above. Also the Hipparion's steering pivot angle is smaller (53.1°) than the Python's (63° ± 4°).

A bit about the new trike:

• Wheel base = 1160mm ( a bit long. I know)
• Track width = 900mm Extremely wide for our narrow roads
• Camber = 15 degrees. Extreme. Yes I know
• Ground clearance = a whopping 5cm. Extremely low. Yes I know
• BB to seat height difference = 250 mm. A bit Extreme. Yes I know
• Seat angle = 30 degrees ( a bit of sanity )
