carbonalbar GNAT Preview

Observe how much the 3-piece Carbonal chassis resembles that of Original GNAT despite curved surfaces replacing tubular- edgy ones. Indeed, this was basically an attempt to reproduce the prototype in a different medium, not so much to rethink and adapt it to the requirements and strengths of the material/ manufacturing method. Meanwhile... let us continue with the demo of the folding, the premier unique aspect that distinguishes this from other trikes (apart from its Wuthering  Heights context, remember that!).

   The first four steps of the folding  process: unscrew the handlebars;  fold the steering column inwards;  disconnect the single "seat spar,"  and fold down the seat.
