I Haz this idea
A quick look at my latest sidecar...
Sidecar?... I think a sidebike is a better name.. Idea behide it.... To design/build a enduro sidecar so the passanger could have full movement like the darka units , but with a seat.. Any seat across the car would restrict movement foward & aft.. So design it to resemble a motorbike with the wheel under the seat. And I could then use a single shock & linkage.. So heres the start.. I will have a WR seat & rear gaurd. front coming up to a grab rail "handle bars" with sides slopeing down to the rear of the foot boards.. Be interesting to see how it goes...

Very ingenious. :P
Now I'm wondering what would it take to make it 2WD. You'd need a way to lock and unlock it on the fly, like a Ural rig... :P

Maybe run a driveshaft off of the counter shaft to another bearing supported sprocket on the other swingarm pivot. Then install a coupler to disconnect the driveshaft.

I love this, a really great idea and I look forward to seeing how it turns out!
Have you found any volunteers to pilot the side bike yet?!? |

Thanks for the update, Pete. Don't give up yet; you might have a sudden flash of insight.
