My question is this: Why have two wheels at the bottom, and two complicated spinning wheels in the center, when you can simply have 4 wheels at the bottom? :)

- bwindels 11y agoThings that come to mind: less rolling resistance with 2 wheels, faster turning since you can lean, simpler mechanics in some aspects (no need for a differential), easier to build narrow vehicles with better aerodynamics.

- riskable 11y agoWhy not just use transitor-based gyroscopes and lever the vehicle one way or the other when turning to keep the riders level? In other words, why not just treat the carriage portion of the vehicle like a large gimbal?
