Tilting tadpole trike mod kit

1 month ago started to build a 3 wheeler, modified from a bicycle,with a pair of 20" wheels front frame kit to replace original 26" front wheel on bike
Previous type as shown:

knuckle type is OK for motorbikes but steer angle not enough for bicycle because your feet can't reach the ground,so I redesign the knuckle, turning rod end joint 90 degree

Now the steering angle and tilting are fine but the main column of the mod kit is too skinny to run over big obstacles,steel cylinder tube should be better like the 3D drawing as shown next version will be seen

Since the front kit a little too heavy (6kg+)for human powered vehicle,gas or electrical powered bike mayt be a better style

What is the advantage of a trike over a bike? - Is it just for stability? I've always wondered.

1, You don't have to learn cornering stunt when riding on gravel or wet and slippery roads to avoid front end slip and falling down

2, Large capacity for luggage or passenger with fine views and also compact the bike size

And full floating suspension make bike rides smoothly in gravel road also and easier to run over stairs

Looks very cool , did you make all the pieces yourself or get a kit from somewhere?
