Juice

To run the simulation files on this web site you need Juice. Its a free program you can download from the authors web site http://www.natew.com/juice/

Frank Bokhorst has an excellent information resource on creating accurate juice simulations here.

If you are having trouble accessing the official site, you can download the essential files you need here.

NOTE: To run my simulations you will need a joystick.

Theory

Why Does Tilting Matter?
If you want a narrow track trike with a high seat, the only way to make it stable is to make it lean.

Tadpole or Delta?
Is one configuration better than the other?

FWD or RWD?
The choice is not clear cut, each approach has its strengths and weeknesses.

FWS or RWS?
You have considered RWS and rejected it, but can it work?

Geometry

How Does Jetrike Work?
Here I present my theory of operation on how and why Jetrike works.

Ergonomic Design
Take some of the guess work out of designing a recumbent.

Trail
On this page you will find my survey of trail ratios and pivot angles and a trail calculator.
