Cobwebs, true story……..I was once told by a disability evaluator, who was passing and saw me struggling to get into my car as the car next to me had parked on, rather than in, the car spot lane markings, that they could get me a disability sticker so I could park in a disability spot so I could get into my car without issue. Sometimes you wonder. :dontknow:

Yeah, sometimes you DO wonder! :banghead:

My Father, who in his prime would've made you look like an emaciated rake, Pete; in his later years had all sorts of mobility issues courtesy of his Service to our Country, but couldn't get a Disability Permit thru DVA for any or all of them, nor could he get one despite the strongest of recommendations from ALL his Doctors on the grounds of his 'service related injury mobility issues', but when his GP cracked a weed and in a very irate phone call to the 'issuing authority' (a small minded bureaucrat exercising his 'ability to reject' to its fullest extent! ) said GP juuust happened to mention Dad's size & weight, the Disability Permit was issued immediately!! :gaah:

And today, 40 odd years later, I still run into that bloody bureaucrat's descendants in the DVA & elsewhere on a daily basis! :cus:

But even if I didn't, I still wouldn't own one of these Rewaco trikes! Nor any other conventional trike for that matter! :yikes:

:yikes: They're all going the wrong way!! And it doesn't look like the pair of front wheels steer either - all the vids show them steering the BACK wheel... but I guess that's cos they're going the wrong way.... :dontknow:


Not for me thanks! I might be annoyed by the poor execution of some of the great concepts in our Spyders, but I'm not ever going back to any trike with a front/steer wheel like that! Those things're unsafe at any speed! :gaah:

How would an ecu controlled rear brake nanny to steer into the corner go do you think? Possible aftermarket opportunity.

On them as designed/intended, with 2 wheels at the back?? I dunno, could be possible maybe, but viable?? Who knows? :dontknow:

But if they tried to use them the way I (tongue in cheek ) suggested, with the single steer wheel at the back, then I reckon it'd be a REALLY interesting exercise to actually develop the sensor & control suite to manage braked steering assist with 2 non-turning but braked front wheels and a turning steer wheel at the rear, and then try to make something like that work well, but probably wouldn't achieve it in a way that'd be anywhere NEAR viable as a commercial opportunity!!

Have you ever seen a Rear-Steer Fork-Lift modified for racing? I have, even driven one; but realized pdq that there's a pretty good bunch of reasons there's no competition like Drift, Sport Sedans, V8 Super Cars or F1 Racing for them, and why there's not a great call for such a competition either!! :banghead:

Mind you, it was a lot of FUN... in fits & spurts, but aside from a few very brief spurts of traveling upright in any direction, all the contenders spent a lot of time lying on their sides waiting to be stood upright again.... From that experience, I'd suggest that relying on rear steer, with or without computer controlled braking assist on the non-steering front wheels for a relatively short wheel-based high CoG wheeled vehicle and traveling at any sort of speed would tend to make for a great time if you're into playing 'Dead Ants'.... but not much else! :shocked: For those who've never played that particular game, it involves a whole lot of lying on your back waving your feet & arms in the air, and not really too much else!!
