Re: this Flxicar:
John Goff informed me that the patent for Hugo Young's design is readily available, complete
with drawings. The design worked, but from an modern day engineering point of view, it's
function had issues. The nature of the tilting wheel design meant that the sidecar body "dipped" in
the lean. If you were to compare it to a modern unison leaner and the Armec Sidewinder, the
Hugo Young Flxi Flyer is another half-step in-between in terms of design.
For LOTS more on "leaners", where at least the bike leans in turns, and how to contact
John Goff, an authority and historian on leaner sidecar rigs, see on this website:
