Jigsaws Falling Into Place


Graphics are in. This will allow us to design the number panels and bodywork, saving some room for sponsor logos (tremotollc@gmail.com to be one).  This trike is gonna be bright and wild.

Mockup of the frame with some suspension components. We'll have it all jigged and welded up over the weekend. If all goes well it will be ready for powdercoat next week, although we also have to make the seat mounts and add lugs below the foootpegs for the lower cradle. Things are moving along quite quickly.

In other news, Jeremy and Dan have completed some destructive testing on the composite leaf spring as well as some nice FEA. They have designed a new spring clamp that allows for more wheel travel and reduced stress concentrations.We'll finalalize the spec next week and have parts in early May.

Finally, I'll throw a reccomendation to read scarbsf1.com for any technically minded vehicle dynamics enthusiasts... Maybe not too many people, but try Spring-less rear suspension in F1 for a few insights on how TreMoto suspension deisgn dovetails with modern F1 philosophy.
