Title of Entry | The Red+White+Blue Machine |
Country | USA |
Designer | James Lin |
Description | The Red+White+Blue (RWB) Machine is essentially an upright unicycle that has been rotated to a semi-horizontal configuration.
The RWB is stabilized by independently steering and tilting (leaning) stabilizer “outriggers” – mounted on both sides of the cycle. The RWB is front-wheel drive – with a lightweight, compact driveline . Leaning into turns allow for a very narrow recumbent design (no wider than conventional bicycle handlebars). The RWB’s outrigger stabilizer wheels can either be conventional rubber or low friction plastic (for sliding). Three independently controlled brakes allow for total control. The RWB is foldable for compact storage. |
