with one ange is bigger than the other,
you distribute the stabalising moment induced by the riders weight
unequally over the two pivots.
that is the key to the solution.
so when you steer, you get a kind of harmonica effect,
which creates a virtual steeringpoint
some negative points though:
- as you pedal >> front will come out?
- as there is drag/braking on the backwheel you get some funky swings :-)
- you get a variable trail? (this might be solved with some rods locking the movements
into one range of movement)
