effect ensures equal pressure
on both shock absorbers. An
additional advantage is that, as a
result, less weight and pressure is
placed on the outside of the tyre,
so that the tyre remains flatter
on the road surface and therefore
retains more grip in the bends.
That in turn means that you can
take turns faster and more safely.
“All this together ensures good
handling and comfortable smooth
driving,” says Mike. What alsothe steering wheel.
“Motor Trike uses rubber
bushings for all spring elements
but for the powertrain,too,” says
Mike. “That eliminates noise
and vibrations and the bushings
therefore also contribute to a
smooth ride.” Mike is clearly
enthusiastic about the Tomahawk
kit as he adds, “During
development, attention was
paid to ensuring that the centre
of gravity is as low as possible,
which ensures good road holding.
It also makes sure that the tyres
stay on the ground and keep
good contact and so the trike will
not turn over even in the most
extreme circumstances.”
In addition, a sway bar, or
torsion bar, has been mounted.
The function of this is that the rod
connects the two shock absorbers
together and reduces the so-called
body roll. In short, the torsional
