Noomad dual front wheel conversion

[haven]

A Spanish company called Noomad is producing a kit that converts your two wheel machine into a three wheeler. The kit adds 18 or 20 inch wheels, dual disc brakes, and a parallelogram hub attachment that allows the wheels to lean into a turn. The kit bolts up to forks that have V-Brake or cantilever bosses.

The rig is about the width of typical flat handlebars. Might be a way to carry extra gear for those long unsupported rides.

The company sells complete bikes as well as kits, including a tandem that has simple suspension built into the fork.

haha but in the demo vidoe, it showed the dually front-end carrying a single pannier bag. Whereas with most touring bikes with a front rack, you can carry two panniers in the front, with the option of strapping a dry bag on top of the rack. THe bike also looked twitchy as hell from the wobbly two front wheels.

much better:

You'll hit a lot more pot holes with three wheels. It looks like a great way to carry a golf bag.

18 and 20 inch wheels are great for long rides
