“EDELWEISS” IN THE COUNTRY

Light truck, which I did for a holiday farm called “Edelweiss”, is difficult to attribute definitely to any type of vehicles. He rigidly jointed (of two parts) frame. On the front of the assembled engine from scooter “Tourist”, and in the back — a homemade body.

 
The wheel — motor type (lever), but the front steer wheels (sidecar) turn like a car. These wheels are suspended on the bridge, which is dvuhlitrovuyu the spring, raskreplennye diagonal rods.
 
Rear axle suspended from the frame on the shock absorbers (“Tourist”). He is without a differential, and therefore the driving wheel (from the car “Lada”) he has one left. When slippage on a slippery road right hub is locked with a pivot axle, making the wheel leading.
 
Power transmission: chain, gear or three. Body size — 2×1,5 m, capacity — 500 kg, speed up to 20 km/h. overall dimensions: width — 1.8 m, length is 3.8. Weight — 220 kg.
